Case Study

Flow Behavior Study of Sucrose Stearate/Water Systems

Calahorro, C., et al. Journal of the American Oil Chemists Society 69 (1992): 660-666.

Rheological studies were performed on aqueous systems containing nonionic surfactants derived from sugars. The composition range studied ranged from the micellar region to the appearance of fully developed liquid crystals. The study was performed at 50°C. The aim of this work was to investigate the rheological behavior of aqueous systems containing widely used sucrose esters under steady shear in a concentration range from the micellar region to the appearance of liquid crystals. The range of the linear viscoelastic domain was also investigated by strain sweep tests. Systems with up to 2 wt% sucrose stearate showed a significant decrease in the steady-state apparent viscosity with shear rate. At higher sucrose stearate concentrations, the flow curves presented two well-defined regions that depended on the shear rate, so that the apparent viscosity proposed the existence of three composition ranges. With increasing surfactant concentration, the micellar structure gradually strengthened up to a concentration of 10 wt% sucrose stearate. Between 15 and 35 wt% sucrose stearate, the results obtained were consistent with the appearance of lamellar liquid crystal dispersions in isotropic micellar solutions. The liquid crystal content in the dispersion increases steadily with increasing surfactant concentration until fully developed lamellar liquid crystals are reached at 40 wt% sucrose stearate.
Aqueous systems up to 45 wt% sucrose stearate (SE) were prepared to find fully developed liquid crystal structures within this composition range and to determine schematic phase diagrams between 5 and 60°C. The shear rate was varied between 0.1 s -I and 300 s -I. Strain sweep tests were performed using a sensor system {Re/Ri = 1.078). Results obtained for systems containing 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 14 and 1 5 wt% SE at 50°C are presented. The tests were performed at a fixed frequency of 1 Hz and displacement angles ranging from 0.3° to 10°. All samples had the same recent history. Therefore, the sealed flasks containing the in situ prepared systems were brought to the desired test temperature by introducing them into a thermostatic circulator, used to keep the samples at 50 °C while the rheological measurements were performed. Before any measurements, all samples were placed in the sensor system for 10 min to achieve a certain stress relaxation.

Sucrose Stearate Emulsions for Dermal Drug Delivery Systems

Klang, Victoria, et al. Pharmaceutics 3.2 (2011): 275-306.

Mild nonionic sucrose ester surfactants can be used to produce lipid drug delivery systems for dermal applications. Moreover, moderately lipophilic sucrose esters, such as sucrose stearate S-970, have unique rheological behavior and can be used to produce highly viscous semisolid formulations without any additional additives. Interestingly, viscous macroemulsions and fluid nanoemulsions with the same chemical composition can be developed by only slightly changing the production process. Optical microscopy and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the sucrose esters formed a striking hydrophilic network at a concentration of only 5% w/w in the macroemulsion system. Small amounts of finer structured aggregates composed of excess surfactant were similarly detected in the nanoemulsion.
The emulsification potential of different concentrations of 1 to 5% w/w sucrose stearate S-970 in O/W emulsions was tested. An increase in viscosity with increasing preparation method was noted, especially for 5% w/w sucrose stearate. When the surfactant concentration was higher than 5% w/w, highly viscous milky emulsions were obtained regardless of the preparation method, i.e., the emulsion microstructure was too viscous to pass through the high-pressure homogenizer even with heating. Therefore, the amount of sucrose stearate in the final formulation was 5% w/w. The composition of the resulting viscous macroemulsions and the corresponding fluid nanoemulsions was identical. The preparation of the separate aqueous and oil phases was identical in both cases. The aqueous phase consisting of freshly distilled water and potassium sorbate and the oil phase consisting of the cosmetic oil PCL-liquid were stirred at 50 °C, respectively. Blank and drug-loaded formulations were prepared. The lipophilic model drugs flufenamic acid, diclofenac, and curcumin were dissolved in the oil phase at a concentration of 0.5% (w/w), respectively. In the case of the crude emulsion, sucrose stearate S-970 was dissolved in the oil phase. The aqueous phase was slowly mixed and further stirred for 10 min, whereupon a highly viscous crude emulsion was obtained.
