Abstract:

Cotton fabrics were treated with cosmetic substances based on α-tocopherol and cyclodextrine. Isolation of α-tocopherol from cotton cosmetotextiles was performed using three different techniques: stirring, Soxhlet and microwave extraction. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was optimised and applied for the quantification of α-tocopherols in the isolates. The results revealed that all techniques are applicable for the isolation of α-tocopherol from cotton cosmetotextiles. The HPLC method proved to be the most convenient for the quantification of α-tocopherol from cotton fabrics.
