Abstract EN
The aim of this study was to investigate the interactions between α-tocopherol and chitosan molecules prepared subsequent to preparation of α-tocopherol-loaded chitosan nanoparticles using ultrasonication.
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses showed semispherical particles with an average size of approximately 350 nm.
Also from reconstitution test, α-tocopherol was suggested as stabilizing agent during lyophilization/reconstitution process.
The zeta potentials of chitosan and α-tocopherol nanoparticles were larger than ±30 mV, representing suitable stability.
Data obtained from FTIR showed possibility of chemical interaction between chitosan and α-tocopherol.
Furthermore, the results from FTIR, NMR, and XRD spectroscopy confirmed electrostatic interactions between the two molecules.
Overall, this procedure could be considered as a facile method to prepare α-tocopherol-loaded nanoparticles.
