Rhamsan is a cationic surfactant that is used as an emulsifier in food products. It has been shown to form gels at neutral pH when mixed with collagen, which can be used for the production of various food products. Rhamsan is also used as a dispersing agent and emulsifier in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The hydrophobic effect of rhamsan is thought to be due to its chemical structure, which includes a long hydrocarbon chain. This property gives it the ability to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules, such as sugar residues on the surface of collagen or water molecules in an emulsion.
