The sorbitan ester (esterification) plant provides a process where fatty acid and sorbitol are heated to a temperature of 235°C where the reaction occurs, forming sorbitan. Three types of fatty acid are used for sorbitan ester manufacture: captive tallowbased oleine, vegetable-based oleine, and coconut fatty acid. The poly-functional alcohol sorbitol is used to produce bleached and non-bleached sorbitan esters. Sorbitan mono oleate is a viscous yellow liquid which is used as an emulsifier for water/oil emulsions. It is a nonionic surfactant with good wetting properties. It is soluble in ethanol, toluene, mineral oil and vegetable oils. It is insoluble in water, acetone and glycols.
It is used in lubricants and greases, cleaning and care products.The vesicles were characterized by different techniques and comparison was made with vesicles formed from POPC (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) or DOPC (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine). High fluidity correlates with increased leakage of entrapped water-soluble dye molecules. Addition of cholesterol and soybean phosphatidylcholine lowers the extent of leakage, allowing a tuning of the bilayer permeability.
