Research Summary

Polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, commonly known as polysorbates, are a group of nonionic surfactants derived from the esterification of sorbitan (a derivative of sorbitol) with fatty acids, followed by ethoxylation of the resulting product. The number of ethylene oxide units added during the ethoxylation process determines the specific polysorbate type, such as Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 40, and so on. These surfactants are widely used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and personal care products, as emulsifiers, solubilizers, and stabilizers. Polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters enhance the solubility and dispersion of hydrophobic substances in water-based systems, making them valuable in formulations like pharmaceuticals, food products, and cosmetic emulsions. Their versatility and stability contribute to their widespread application in products ranging from drug formulations to food additives and personal care items.
