of the stomach intestine different types of sedds which were tried out include the following system sedds are formulated in the absence of water by mixing oil with a non ionic surfactant a lipid base and a lipid soluble drug in this case tocotrienols to form an isotropic oily solution upon dilution with water or in vivo administration they formed fine oil in water emulsions labrasol tween 80 palm olein soybean oil was found to be the best system due to the following reason i it can it can incorporate a bigger amount of tocotrienols without compensating the emulsification properties compared to the other two systems ii from the first part of the study it was found that the absorption of tocotrienols from medium chain triglycerides was less than that of palm olein thus the usage of tween 85 medium chain triglycerides was not desirable and iii between tween 80 span 80 palm olein and labrasol tween 80 palm olein the latter has a faster rate of emulsification and stability in accord with the present invention the final master formulation is as follows the range of the oil to surfactant ratio were u00b1 10 of the final formula the ratio of the oil to surfactant was kept at 5 to 1 to avoid solubilization above the critical micellar concentration of a surfactant system micellar complexation of tocotrienols might occur it has been known that absorption of a.
