Synthesis of sucrose stearate and its application as emulsifier

Sucrose Fatty acid esters are compounds that are mainly prepared from esterification of sucrose with fatty acids or glycerides. These compounds are used as emulsifiersin various industries such as food and cosmetic industries [1], [2]. In this study, the synthesis of this compound was carried out in two steps. In the first step, the methylester of stearic acid was synthesized. In the second step, sucrose stearates were synthesized from methyl ester and sucrose. Also optimization of temperature, solvent and ... was studied. Finally, the application of this compound was performed as an emulsifier.
