tion of sucrose monostearate and distearate have also been applied withour substantial modifications to the preparation of other fatty acid esters of sucrose. By increasing the ratio of methyl ester to sucrose in the reaction mixture, x o r e highly substituted derivatives of SLICI ose are obtained. T h e sucrose esters are new and coniplex chemical compounds. Further improvements will undoubtedly be made in the manufacturing process. For csample. it can be expected that a n increase in the reaction temperature \vi11 reduce both solvent requirements and the reaction time.

Surface Activity of Monoesters

...

Fatty Acid Esters of Sucrose Evaluation studies indicate that these esters are emulsifying agents and good detergents. They are sufficiently stable to hydrolysis for use in cotton detergency applications. Low toxicity also points to particular usefulness in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food applications.

T H E monoesters \\.ere prepared by the first procedure described in the preceding paper. They were purified by repeated crystallization from acetone.

saponification of each of the sucrose esters employed in this study are given in Table I. Comparison of the experimental saponification value with the theoretical value for the monoester indicates that all of the sucrose esters are essentially pure tnonoesters. Equilibrium solubility values Mere not determined. .A11 these sucrose esters ap-
