양이온 계면활성제인 tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB)에 의한 크레졸 이성질 체의 가용화에 미치는 치환기, 온도 그리고 NaCl과 n-부탄올과 같은 첨가제의 효과를 UV-Vis법으로 측정하였다. 가용화상수(K8)값은 o-크레졸<m-크레졸<p-크레졸 순으로 증가하였으며, 온도의 증가에 따라 이들 K8값은 감소하였다. 크레졸 이성질체들의 가용화에 대하여 계산한 ΔG0값과 ΔH0값은 모두 음의 값을 나타내었다. 그러나 ΔS0값은 모두 양의 값을 나타내었다. 또한 ΔG0값은 n-부탄올의 농도가 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 그러나 NaCl의 농도가 증가할수록 더욱 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 사실들로부터 크레졸 이성질체들의 가용화에는 엔탈피와 엔트로피가 동시에 기여하고 있으며, 또한 크레졸분자들이 가용화되는 위치는 미셀의 표면이나 palisade층에서 주로 이루어짐을 알 수 있다.

Due to the fact that tocopherols and tocotrienols have antioxidant and anticancer properties, the commercial utilization of unsaponifiable fractions in rice bran is increasing. These nutraceutical compounds, however, are fairly unstable and readily break down when exposed to oxygen or lighting conditions. To compare the relative sensitivity of vit E isomers to heat and oxygen, concentrated unsaponifiable fractions extracted from crude rice bran oil were exposed to various temperature, oxygen (nitrogen-balanced), and bathing solvent conditions and resultant concentration changes in α- and γ-tocopherols (T) and tocotrienols (T3) were evaluated. Each isomer exhibited different heat stability. Among them, α-T3 degraded more rapidly compared to other vit E isomers while α-T was the most stable isomer. Oxygen level also showed significant impact on each isomer's stability where severe reductions of γ-T (by 20%) and γ-T3 (by 29%) were observed under 2% oxygen conditions, while under 0% oxygen conditions no degradation could be observed even after exposure to 95℃ for 4 hours. When various blending solvents were mixed with concentrated unsaponifiable fractions, organic solvents such as isooctane and hexane were more effective in maintaining the stability of γ- T3 compared to edible oils, among which com oil was more efficient than soybean and rice bran oils.
