Participants

Reaction Steps

A 200-ml four-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer, a nitrogen inlet tube and a gas-discharging tube was charged with 60.0 g of the tetraglycerol obtained in Example A1, 38.2 g of lauric acid and 0.4 g of sodium hydroxide, and the mixture was reacted at 230° C. for 2 hours under nitrogen gas stream, to give 93.3 g of tetraglycerol laurate (HLB=11.9). In addition, similarly, the esterification reaction was carried out by using 54.3 g of stearic acid in place of lauric acid, to give 106.3 g of tetraglycerol stearate (HLB=10.2).
