Sorbitan, monooctadecanoate

Description:

Sorbitan monooctadecanoate, also known as Span 80, is a non-ionic surfactant derived from sorbitol and fatty acids, specifically octadecanoic acid (stearic acid). It is characterized by its hydrophobic tail, which consists of a long hydrocarbon chain, and a hydrophilic head, which is derived from sorbitol. This amphiphilic nature allows it to reduce surface tension and stabilize emulsions, making it widely used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals as an emulsifier and stabilizer. Sorbitan monooctadecanoate is typically a viscous liquid or soft solid at room temperature and is soluble in oils but has limited solubility in water. Its properties include good thermal stability and resistance to oxidation, which contribute to its effectiveness in various formulations. Additionally, it is considered safe for use in food products, although regulatory guidelines should be followed. Overall, its unique structure and properties make it a valuable ingredient in many industrial applications.

Sorbitan monostearate

CAS: 1338-41-6

Sorbitan monostearate is a lipid-soluble compound that is used as a surfactant and emulsifier in food products. It has been found to be nontoxic when administered at concentrations up to 5000 mg/kg of body weight for 28 days. Sorbitan monostearate has been shown to be nontoxic in vitro, but the long-term toxicity of this compound has not been established. Sorbitan monostearate also exhibits hydrogen bonding interactions with calcium pantothenate, sodium salts, and coumarin derivatives. The model system used was an artificial membrane composed of chitosan quaternary ammonium and monolaurate. This study found that sorbitan monostearate is able to permeabilize the membrane at an optimum concentration.
