Sorbitan esters are nonionic lipophilic surfactants that are commonly used as water-n-ol (W0) emulsifers and stabilizers. Sorbitan fatty acid esters areproduced by esterification of dehydrated sorbito sorbitan) with a varety of fatty acids. Sorbitol is a sugar alcoho that can be obtained by the reduction ofdlucose or derived rom cor, potatoes etc, The fatty acids commony used to synthesize sorbitan esters include auric acid, palmitic acid stearic acid andoleic acid.
soritan esters used as non ionic suractants are efective for vorous functions 0ur anae of surfactants is used in a orety ot settinas for exaomple as anemulsifier in food, a stabilizer in a cosmetic cream formulation,or a cosolvent and antirust agent for petroleum and oi. These surfactants are sourced fromvegetables and vegan friendly. They are safe and nontoxic as food additives when used according to requlations
Our rance of sorbitan esters has a hydrophlic-ipophiic balance (HL) between .6 - 8.6, which make them dissoivable in polar organic solvents and ois. Whenused in combination with varing proportions of ethoxylated sorbitan esters polysorbate) that have an HLB range between 100 -16.7,it creates more versatlesurfactants: which can produce W/0 or oi-in-water (0/w) emulsions with varving levels of consistencies, expanding the possible applications of theesurfactants
