Abstract
The phase behaviour of mixtures of recombined milk membrane lipids dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), sphingomyelin (SM), dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE), phosphatidylinositol (PI) and dioleoylphosphatidylserine (DOPS) in 60% water was examined as a function of temperature between 5 and 90 °C. The aim was to examine under which lipid composition the average properties turn from balanced over to hydrophobic. The phase boundaries were determined by small angle X-ray diffraction (SAXD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The lamellar phase was dominating in the DOPC/SM/DOPE system. The phase boundary for the reversed hexagonal phase was only observed at high DOPE content within the examined temperature interval. The anionic phospholipids PI and DOPS induced a swollen lamellar phase, but no significant change of the transition between the lamellar phase and the reversed hexagonal phase was observed.
