The aim of this work was to investigate the location and reactivity of a lipophilic spin probe, 4-phenyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-imidazoline-1-oxyl nitroxide (PTMIO) in anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS) or cationic (dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide, DTAB) surfactant micelles. The analysis of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of PTMIO in micellar systems showed that probe molecules partitioned between two populations: a more mobile fraction in the aqueous phase and a less mobile fraction in the micelle. The fraction of PTMIO incorporated in surfactant micelles increased with surfactant concentration. The rate of the reduction of the nitroxide group of PTMIO by the negatively charged, water-soluble ascorbate decreased when the probe was solubilized in anionic SOS micelles and increased when it was solubilized in cationic DTAB micelles. Thus, both the surface charge as well as the solubilization capacity of the micelles controlled the reactivity of the lipophilic molecule. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Lipid oxidation in emulsions and bulk oils: a review of the importance of micelles

Pierre Villeneuve, Claire Bourlieu-Lacanal, Erwann Durand, Jerome Lecomte, David Julian McClements, Eric A. Decker

Summary: Lipid oxidation is a major cause of quality deterioration in food products, and the presence of colloidal structures and interfaces play a crucial role in this process. Micelles in emulsions and reverse micelles in bulk oils are reservoirs for antioxidants and pro-oxidants, and serve as nanoreactors where lipid oxidation reactions occur.
