QUICK LINKS

Quillaic acid functions as a surfactant, aiding in the emulsification of non-polar substances in aqueous solutions. It achieves this by reducing the surface tension between the non-polar and polar phases, allowing for the formation of stable emulsions. At the molecular level, quillaic acid interacts with the interface between the non-polar and polar phases, facilitating the dispersion of non-polar substances such as oils or fats in water-based solutions. This mechanism of action enables the creation of stable emulsions, which is particularly useful in various experimental applications where the dispersion of non-polar substances in aqueous solutions is required.
