METHOD OF ASSAY
Transfer about 25 g of the sample, accurately weighed, into a 500-ml round-bottom flask, add 250 ml of alcohol and 7.5 g of potassium hydroxide, and mix. Connect a suitable condenser to the flask, reflux the mixture for 1 to 2 h, and then transfer to an 800-ml beaker, rinsing the flask with about 100 ml of water and adding it to the beaker. Heat on a steam bath to evaporate the alcohol, adding water occasionally to replace the alcohol, and evaporate until the odour of alcohol can no longer be detected. Adjust the final volume to about 250 ml with hot water. Neutralize the soap solution with dilute sulfuric acid (1 in 2), add 10% in excess, and heat, while stirring, until the fatty acid layer separates. Transfer the fatty acids to a 500-ml separator, wash with three or four 20- ml portions of hot water to remove polyols, and combine the washings with the original aqueous polyol layer from the saponification. Extract the combined aqueous layer with three 20-ml portions of petroleum ether, add the extracts to the fatty acid layer, evaporate to dryness in a tared dish, cool and weigh. Neutralize the polyol solution with a 1 in 10 solution of potassium hydroxide to pH 7 using a suitable pH meter. Evaporate this solution to a moist residue, and separate the polyols from the salts by several extractions with hot alcohol. Evaporate the alcohol extracts on a steam bath to dryness in a tared dish, cool, and weigh. Avoid excessive drying and heating.
Substance overview overview
Sorbitan monolaurate belongs to a group of substances called Sorbitane esters which are widely used as surface active substances and raw materials for cosmetics.
The database for environmental effects, ecotoxicology and toxicology of Sorbitan monolaurate is extensive, allowing a robust evaluation of its hazard properties.
Because of the lack of hazards and if the risk management recommendations as mentioned below are observed the substance can be handled safely.
Uses and application of Sorbitan Monolaurate
Sorbitan laurate is a common component in laundry products, cleaners,
aerosol sprays, disinfectants, pest control sprays, polishes, water softeners,
coatings, paints, thinners, paint removers and cosmetics.
The chemical structure of the Sorbitan laurate combines a good
environmental profile, especially in terms of ready biodegradability and no
harmful effects on aquatic life, with the structural features required for their
manifold uses.
Health effects of Sorbitan Monolaurate
Sorbitan laurate has to be considered as a substance that is omnipresent due
to its numerous uses by the general public and its industrial uses.
• Consumer: The general public may come in contact with Sorbitan laurate
contained in preparations like laundry products, cleaners, aerosol sprays,
disinfectants, pest control sprays, polishes, water softeners, coatings,
paints, thinners, paint removers and cosmetics.
• Worker: Exposure can occur either in a Sorbitan laurate manufacturing
facility or in the various industrial facilities that use Sorbitan laurate.
Those working with Sorbitan laurate in industrial operations could be
exposed during maintenance, sampling, testing, or other procedures.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS
Sorbitol is a white, sweetish, hygroscopic, crystalline sugar alcohol of six-carbon. It is found naturally in various berries and fruits. Or it is prepared synthetically by high-pressure catalytic hydrogenation of glucose sugar derived from cornstarch. It melts at 93 to 98 C depending on the form. It is used as a a sweetening agent, food additive, toothpaste, tobacco, toiletries and in cosmetics. It is used for vitamin-C fermentation. It is used as a excipient and intravenous osmotic diuretic in pharmaceutical fields. It is also used in the manufacture of polyethers for polyurethanes and surfactants. The term sorbitan describes the anhydride form of sorbitol, whose fatty acids are lipophilic whereas sorbitol body is hydrophilic. This bifunctionality in one molecule provides the basic properties useful in cleaners, detergents, polymer additives, and textile industry as emulsifiers, wetting agents, and viscosity modifiers. Sorbitan esters are rather lipophilic (or hydrophobic) surfactants exhibiting low HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) values; having an affinity for, tending to combine with, or capable of dissolving in lipids (or water-insoluble). While, the ethoxylated sorbitan esters are hydrophilics exhibiting high HLB values; having an affinity for water; readily absorbing or dissolving in water. The type of fatty acid and the mole number of ethylene oxide provides diverse HLB values for proper applications.
Nonionic surfactants are surface active agents which do not dissociate into ions in aqueous solutions, unlike anionic surfactants which have a negative charge and cationic surfactants which have a positive charge in aqueous solution. Nonionic surfactants are more widely used as detergents than ionic surfactants because anionic surfactants are insoluble in many hard water and cationic surfactants are considered to be poor cleaners. In addition to detergency, nonionic surfactants show excellent solvency, low foam properties and chemical stability. It is thought that nonionic surfactants are mild on the skin even at high loadings and long-term exposure. The hydrophilic group of nonionic surfactants is a polymerized alkene oxide (water soluble polyether with 10 to 100 units length typically). They are prepared by polymerization of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and butylene oxide in the same molecule. Depending on the ratio and order of oxide addition, together with the number of carbon atoms which vary the chemical and physical properties, nonionic surfactant is used as a wetting agent, a detergent, or an emulsifier. Nonionic surfactants include alcohol ethoxylates, alkylphenol ethoxylates, phenol ethoxylates, amide ethoxylates, glyceride ethoxylates (soya bean oil and caster oil ethoxylates), fatty acid ethoxylates, and fatty amine ethoxylates. Another commercially significant nonionic surfactants are the alkyl glycosides in which the hydrophilic groups are sugars (polysaccharides).
