Reducing viscosity of aqueous sucrose fatty ester solution

摘要

A method for reducing the viscosity of an aqueous solution of a sucrose fatty ester (I) comprises adding 1-50 parts by weight of an anionic surfactant (II) to 100 parts by weight of an aqueous solution containing 5-50% of (I) with a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of 5-20. Also claimed is a method of dispersing an inorganic compound, a cosmetic compound or a sparingly water-soluble substance in water, an emulsifying agent consisting of (I) (with HLB 5-20) and 1-50 (preferably 1-20) wt.% (II) (based on (I)).
