Abstract: MATEL, ALYSSA MAE C., MARERO, KAREN FAYE R. AND LOUIS CARLOS O. RODEROS. Encapsulation of Crude Extract from Sunflower. A Research Study. Cavite State University Science High School, Indang, Cavite. April 2008. Adviser: Mrs. Maridel L. Autriz. The study was conducted to isolate, characterize and encapsulate sunflower extract as a source of vitamin E. Specifically; it aimed to determine the possibility of isolating vitamin E from sunflower; to determine the physical and chemical properties of the sunflower extract; and to encapsulate the crude extract from sunflower. The study was conducted from August 2007 to February 2008 at CvSU Research Center. Thin layer chromatography was used to identify the fractions of the extract, which shows that the extract contains Vitamin E. Qualitative analysis of the precipitate gave the following physico-chemical characteristics; soluble in ether, benzene and chloroform but insoluble in water; its pH value is 7, similar to commercial Vitamin E supplements; and its melting point is at 79 Celsius (°C), slightly lower than the melting point of commercial Vitamin E supplements, Baeyer’s test showed that the extract contains unsaturated components. Six hundred (600) grams of the crude extract was encapsulated which provides 15 mg of vitamin E, providing the RDA for vitamin E in adults.
