Dodecyl β-D-cellobioside

CAS: 74513-19-2

Dodecyl b-D-cellobioside is a surfactant that has been shown to form lamellar phases at low temperatures and high concentrations. It is primarily used as a stabilizer for emulsions, such as in ice cream, where it prevents the separation of fats and water. Dodecyl b-D-cellobioside is also known to be involved in the formation of bilayers, which are made up of one layer of hydrophobic molecules and one layer of hydrophilic molecules. This surfactant can exist as two conformations: a lyotropic phase with short chains (lamellar) or a synthetic phase with long chains (spreading). The lamellar phase is more stable than the synthetic phase because it has more contact with water. The lyotropic phase would be useful in an environment where water is scarce, like in outer space.
