Abstract

The decrease in the water structure in the critical range of micelle formation, which had been deduced theoretically, was confirmed by means of a new determination method. The method was based upon the dependence of the gelatin helicity on the water structure and the correlation between the helix-coil equilibrium and the disintegration of gelatin microcapsules. The significant rise in the disintegration rate, indicating a decay of water structure, represents also a new method of critical micelle concentration (CMC) determination.
