Abstract

Sugar Fatty Acid Esters (SFAEs) are a class of non-ionic surfactants that can be synthesized from inexpensive natural resources. Depending on carbon chain length and nature of the sugar head group, SFAEs cover a wide range of hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values, which result in tunable tenside properties and in turn relevant for a wide variety of industrial applications. Three sugar-based surfactants (6-O-lauroyl-, 6-O-palmitoyland 6-O-stearoyl-1-O-butyl glucopyranosides) have been prepared by a lipase-catalyzed esterification of isomeric mixture of n-butyl glucosides. Specifically, their interfacial features together with W/O emulsifying properties and stability over time have been finely evaluated (interfacial tension (IFT) values, W/O emulsion turbidity and water droplet size distribution), resulting 6-O-palmitoyl- and 6-O-stearoyl-1-O-butyl glucopyranosides as the most efficient ones.
