Overview of Sucrose Fatty Acid Ester
A nonionic surfactant consisting of a simple substance or mixture of sucrose and fatty acids formed by esterification. Since sucrose contains 8 -- OH groups, all kinds of products from single ester to octyl ester can be formed by esterification. It can be subdivided into mono-fatty acid ester, fatty acid ester, and try fatty acid ester. Sucrose - OH group for the hydrophilic group, fatty acid carbon chain part for the hydrophilic group, commonly used stearic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and other high fatty acids (powder products), but also acetic acid, isobutyric acid, and other low fatty acids (products for viscous resin). With its non-toxic, easy biodegradation and good surface properties, it is widely used in food, medicine, daily chemical, biological engineering enzyme preparation, oil exploitation, textile and agriculture and animal husbandry, and other industries.
Product Performance of Sucrose Fatty Acid Ester
White or ivory powder with microcrystalline texture, odorless or with a characteristic odor.Soluble in ethanol and acetone. Monoesters are soluble in hot water, but diesters or triesters are insoluble in water. High monoester content, hydrophilic, diester and triester content, the more lipophilic. According to the esterification number of the sucrose hydroxyl group, different HLB values (2-16) from lipophilic to hydrophilic can be obtained. Good emulsification, dispersion solubilization, lubrication, penetration, foaming, viscosity regulation, anti-aging, and other properties. Softening point 50 ~ 70℃, decomposition temperature 233 ~ 238℃. It has optical rotation. It can be saponified by heat when acidic or alkaline.

Food field: used as an emulsifier. Use in accordance with the scope and limits specified in GB 2760. Daily chemical industry: sucrose ester has good washing performance, is odorless, can be prepared vegetable, fruit cleaning agent. Because sucrose ester is closer to the sebum secreted by the human body in performance, it can be used as an emulsifier for a variety of essence, shampoo, cream, lipstick, and so on, which can increase the skin's smoothness and smoothness, prevent oil precipitation in cosmetics, and improve the washing performance of cosmetics.

Q1
Are sucrose fatty acid esters harmful to human health?
Answer: Sucrose fatty acid esters are generally safe when used in moderate amounts. However, excessive intake may cause digestive discomfort or other health problems. In addition, it should be used with caution for certain specific groups of people (such as pregnant women, children, etc.).
Q2
How do sucrose fatty acid esters differ from sucrose?
Answer: Sucrose is a simple sugar, and sucrose fatty acid esters are derivatives obtained by reacting sucrose with fatty acids. They have significant differences in structure and properties, and also have different application fields.
Q3
How to detect the quality of sucrose fatty acid esters?
Answer: The quality of sucrose fatty acid esters can be detected through appearance, color, acid value, ester content and other indicators. In addition, more precise detection can be carried out through instrumental analysis methods such as infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance.
Q4
Are sucrose fatty acid esters suitable for all types of formulations?
Answer: Sucrose fatty acid esters are suitable for many types of formulations, such as food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. However, different formulas have different requirements for sucrose fatty acid esters, so it is necessary to select the appropriate type and dosage of sucrose fatty acid esters according to the specific formula.
Q5
How do sucrose fatty acid esters differ from other surfactants?
Answer: Sucrose fatty acid esters differ from other surfactants in structure and properties. For example, they have dual hydrophilic and lipophilic properties and can form a stable emulsion layer at the oil-water interface. In addition, sucrose fatty acid esters also have good biocompatibility and safety, so they are widely used in food and cosmetics and other fields.
