LIPOPHILIC PHENOLIC DERIVATIVES AS SURFACTANTS

摘要

The present invention reveals a group of compounds derived from phenols such as tyrosol or hydroxytyrosol having a polar part and an apolar part being an alkylic chain of variable length. As a consequence of the physicochemical properties thereof these compounds may be used as surfactants, for example in food, agrochemical, cosmetic or personal hygiene products or in pharmaceutical products.
