ABSTRACT

The optical pattern and thermal behaviour of refined, bleached and deodorized (RRD) palm olein in a lamellar liquid crystalline structure of mixed cationic surfactants were investigated using the polarizing microscope and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

The results indicate some perturbations in the amphiphilic organization and a reduction in transition enthalpy on the addition of RBD palm olein into the lamellar structure.

OLEOCHEMICAL SURFACTANTS TODAY

The production of surfactants represents a vast area of application for technical oils and fats. The oleochemical industry is making great efforts to increase the proportion of oleochemical surfactants in the total world production of surfactants. Oleochemical surfactants have both economic and ecological advantages over products based on mineral oil. This survey discusses recent developments […]
