What are the functions of food emulsifier sucrose fatty acid esters?

Time：2023-07-11

Emulsifier sucrose fatty acid ester is a new type of non-ionic surfactant. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, has good surface properties, and is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, and daily chemicals.

Sucrose fatty acid esters (sucrose esters), referred to as SE (SUGAR ESTERS). A non-ionic surfactant, it is a substance or mixture produced from the esterification reaction of sucrose and fatty acids. Sucrose contains 8 -OH groups, so through esterification, various products can be produced ranging from monoesters to octoesters. The sucrose -OH serves as the hydrophilic group, while the carbon chain part of the fatty acid serves as the hydrophobic group, commonly using fatty acids such as stearic acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid (the product is in powder form), and using lower fatty acids like acetic acid and isobutyric acid (the product is in a viscous resin form). Non-toxic, biodegradable, with good surface properties, it is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, daily chemicals, enzyme preparations in bioengineering, petroleum extraction, textiles, agriculture, and animal husbandry.

What is the shape of the function of sucrose fatty acid esters?

A white-yellow powder or colorless-yellow viscous liquid or soft solid, odorless or with a slightly special smell. It dissolves well in ethanol. Monoesters dissolve in hot water, but diesters or triesters do not dissolve in water. The higher the content of monoesters, the stronger the hydrophilicity. The more diesters and triesters, the stronger the lipophilicity.

Based on the degree of esterification of sucrose, a series of cane fatty acid ester products with HLB values ranging from hydrophilic to hydrophobic (1 ~ 16) can be obtained. It has surface activity, reducing surface tension while possessing emulsifying, dispersing, solubilizing, lubricating, penetrating, foaming, and viscosity-regulating properties. Softening point 50 ~ 70, decomposition temperature 233 ~ 238.
