Hydrotropic/solubilizing effect properties have already been identified on short-chain variants such as hexyl and ethylhexyl, but these ingredients were not fully bio-based. This study investigated the hydrotropic/solubilizing properties of eco-designed 100% bio-based heptyl glucoside, under various conditions, compared to industrial and personal care benchmarks and other short chain APGs. Foaming power was firstly evaluated at different temperatures with two static methods. Hydrotropic performance was assessed with a commonly used surfactant in the presence of high electrolyte, acid and alkali concentrations. Further trials were done using ethoxylated rapeseed oil as an oil lubricant model in electrolyte-charged aqueous solution. The solubilizing effect of hydrophobic additives such as fragrances, essential oils and vitamin E was quantified. Finally, effects on formulation preservation were screened with two natural personal care preservatives. Heptyl glucoside was found to be an effective and versatile hydrotrope for industrial applications, with additional intrinsic lubrication properties. It was also revealed as an efficient solubilizer for personal care products with the additional benefit of reducing the preservative dosage required in natural formulations. Its unusual non-foaming nature, while not disrupting the foaming capacity of surfactants, makes it suitable for all types of cleansers. The calculated carbon footprint has a low value, making heptyl glucoside a valuable ingredient combining both performance and low environmental impact.</p>","PeriodicalId":17083,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surfactants and Detergents","volume":"27 5","pages":"753-768"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jsde.12752","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140570523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gels can be highly viscous and semi-solid and should be avoided since they take time and energy to disperse once formed. Historically, the creation of gel diagrams or maps for our technical product brochures primarily has depended on visual observation, leading to variable interpretations and inconsistent results over time. Also, completing a gel map for one surfactant grade requires a minimum of one day, due to testing many samples across various concentrations and temperatures. To improve objectivity, consistency, and speed in gel mapping, oscillatory rheology was utilized to identify gels using viscoelastic properties by testing samples prepared at various concentrations. The digitization of the gel mapping technique provides two significant benefits. It offers a rheological-based approach giving a non-subjective, digital gel map and it is faster than our visual-based method. Furthermore, this digital method is consistent with our visual-based method giving good discrimination between surfactant grades and reproducibility within batches of the same grade. This work also demonstrates the promising potential of utilizing machine learning algorithms to model the rheological behavior of gel maps effectively.

Alcohol ethoxylates are a major class of non-ionic surfactants composed of an alkyl chain combined with few EO units. They are widely used in homecare products, personal care products, textiles, oilfield, construction, lubricants, food, paper, leather. The analysis of these ethoxylates possess several challenges since they contain ‘<i>n</i>’ number of EO units (<i>n</i> &gt; 1). With increase in “<i>n</i>,” the product becomes more and more viscous and the boiling point increases making it difficult to analyze by normal gas chromatography (GC) technique. This paper describes a method of derivatizing these ethoxylates so that they can be eluted on a high temperature GC. BSTFA (N, O-bis (trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide) is used as the derivatizing agent (silylating agent). The ethoxylate combines with BSTFA to form the corresponding trimethylsilylated (TMS) product, which have comparatively lower boiling point. Thus, we detect trimethyl silyl product, which is the resemblance for the ethoxylated product. In this paper, we present a quantitative GC method for the ethoxylates of a few simple alcohols (2-ethyl hexanol, glycerin), and complex vegetable oils (castor oil). The products formed during the reaction have also been identified on a gas chromatograph coupled with mass spectrometer (GCMS). GCMS shows the mass corresponding to the TMS derivatized product.

The results substantiate that the glycosidic S-linkage confers considerably different solution aggregation behavior on these surfactants relative to their O-linked counterparts, where the properties of the latter are known. The materials properties of the aggregated structures from the alkyl thioglycosides vary considerably. Micelles are formed by octyl thiocellobioside and all alkyl thiomaltosides. Turbid aggregate solutions are formed by the alkyl thioglucosides and octyl thiogalactoside, whereas the longer chain alkyl thiogalactosides are minimally soluble.

Here, we study the myelinization of glycolipid microbial amphiphiles, commonly addressed as biosurfactants, produced through the process of fermentation. The hydration characteristics (and phase diagrams) of these biological amphiphiles are atypical (and thus their capacity to form myelin) because unlike typical amphiphiles, their molecular structure is characterized by two hydrophilic groups (sugar, carboxylic acid) on both ends with a hydrophobic moiety in the middle. We tested three different glycolipid molecules: C18:1 sophorolipids and single-glucose C18:1 and C18:0 glucolipids, all in their nonacetylated acidic form. Neither sophorolipids (too soluble) nor C18:0 glucolipids (too insoluble) displayed myelin growth at room temperature (RT, 25°C).

Using phase change materials (PCM) is a suitable solution to prevent heat loss. PCM emulsions (PCMEs) have several advantages and are specifically applied in heat exchangers. Here, the formulation of these emulsions, the type of surfactants, and their composition based on freeze–thaw cycle stability are investigated. The Hydrophilic–Lipophilic-Deviation (HLD) platform is used for this purpose. Considering the importance of stability during temperature changes in PCMEs, three types of surfactants that have different behaviors with respect to temperature are used: ethoxylates, ionics, and sugar-based surfactants. By performing freeze–thaw cycles on emulsions made by individual surfactants, after 10 freeze–thaw cycles it was observed that the oil separation in each of the samples containing polysorbate80, AOT, lauryl-myristyl-alcohol-polyethylene-glycol-ether, SDS, sorbitan-monooleate, and decylglucoside occurred at the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 10th-cycle, respectively. Therefore, the sorbitan-monooleate and decylglucoside had better freeze–thaw cycle stability compared to the others because of their non-sensitivity to temperature. We also applied the emulsion cycle stability with two combinations of surfactants: (1) polysorbate80 and sorbitan-monooleate, (2) decylglucoside and sorbitan-monooleate. The former, despite the effect of temperature, showed no oil phase separation in the nine freeze–thaw cycles, but in the latter, the oil phase separation occurred in the 5th-cycle.
