SE Sucrose ester; Sucrose fatty acid ester

Esterification produces a nonionic detergent consisting of a simple substance, or mixture, of sucrose with fatty acids. Since sucrose has 8 –OH groups, it is possible to form all types of ester products ranging from a simple ester to an octyl ester. It can be divided into mono-fatty esters, fatty esters, and even try fatty esters. Sucrose-OH group is used for the hydrophilic part, the fatty acid chain for the hydrophilic part. Commonly used are stearic and oleic acids, palmitic and other high fatty acid powder products, but also acetic and isobutyric acids and other low fatty acid (products for viscous resin). The non-toxic material is also easily biodegradable and has good surface properties. It’s widely used for food, medicine and daily chemicals, as well as biological engineering enzyme preparation and textile and agricultural and animal husbandry.

Soluble in alcohol and acetone. Monoesters can be dissolved in hot or cold water. Diesters and trysters are not soluble in water. The higher the monoester concentration, the hydrophilic. The lower it is, and the more lipophilic. HLB values (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic) can be varied according to esterification numbers of the sucrose groups. The properties of the emulsion are good. They also have good dispersion solubilization and penetration. Softening point 50 ~ 70, decomposition temperature 233 ~ 238. It rotates in an optical direction. When acidic, or alkaline, it can be saponified with heat.

They also have other qualities such as lubrication and penetration, foaming. Softening point 50 ~ 70, decomposition temperature 233 ~ 238. It has an optical rotation. When acidic or neutral, it can be saponified with heat.

Food: used as a emulsifier. Use within the limits and scope of GB 2760. Daily chemical industry : sucrose ester is an odorless cleaning agent that can be used to clean vegetables and fruits. Due to its performance being similar to that of sebum, sucrose ester can be used for various essences, shampoos and creams.
