The properties of micoremulsion containing vitamin C and 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid respectively, including pH, viscosity, mean particle diameter, refractive index during storage were determined in this study. In vitro transdermal penetration of 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid in microemulsion was also compared with conventional emulsion. The results showed that pH of microemulsion with 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid
reduced at 45℃. However, changes in viscosity, mean particle diameter, refractive index of micoremulsion containing vitamin C and 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid were not found during storage at 25 and 45℃. It was noted that the content of vitamin C in microemulsion decreased from 1.98% to ca. zero after storage for 79 d at 25 and 45℃. On the other hand, the content of 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid was similar during storage. Transdermal penetration of 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid in microemulsion was higher than that in conventional emulsion.Advisor Committee Shiow-Ling Lee - advisor
