Vitamin E Microencapsulation via Electrohydrodynamic Techniques for Potential Use in Skin Care and Dermatological Applications by Daniela Dias, Berta Nogueiro Estevinho

“…Conductivity also influenced morphology; higher conductivity developed fibers, while lower conductivity formed particles. The solution with 15% (<i>w</i>/<i>v</i>) zein + 1% (<i>w</i>/<i>w</i>) vitamin E showed a conductivity of 1276 μS, similar to the 15% zein solution (1280 μS), indicating that vitamin E addition had no significant effect on conductivity. …”
