| Abstract: | Microencapsulation of alpha-tocopherol effectively protects alpha-tocopherol from oxidation and produces high-value-added and long-shelf-stable foods. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been applied to measure the yield of microencapsulated alpha-tocopherol with high accuracy; however, it takes long analysis time. An alternative method is required to determine the yield of microencapsulated alpha-tocopherol in food industry. A new, easy, and sensitive colorimetric method using 5% cupric acetate pyridine and oleic acid was developed. Correlation coefficient (r) of colorimetric method on alpha-tocopherol in microencapsulation system and of results between colorimetric method and HPLC were +0.996 and +0.989, respectively, which indicates that this novel colorimetric method can be successfully applied to evaluate the yield of microencapsulated alpha-tocopherol instead of HPLC. The optimum storage temperature and pH of microencapsulated alpha-tocopherol for 7-day storage were 25 degrees C and pH 9, respectively, determined by this new colorimetric method. |
