Limiting solubilizing capacity of some nonionic surfactants

· J. Colloid Interface Sci.; (United States)
This report gives an account of the attempts to solubilize corn oil. A fixed quantity of corn oil or oily dispersion containing corn oil and a sorbitan ester was added to a series of 25 ml of polysorbate solutions of increasing concentration. This investigation showed that corn oil is not solubilized by either aqueous solutions of polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters or by a combination of these surfactants with sorbitan esters. The findings suggest that nonionic surfactants of the polyoxyethylene sorbitan ester type as well as the sorbitan esters have limiting capacities to solubilize extremely hydrophobic substances such as corn oil. 19 references.
