Abstract

Highlights: Disodium tartarate and trisodium citrate promote the micellization of sodium dodecylsulfate. Temperature has an adverse effect on micellization process. Both the salts reduce minimum surface area per surfactant molecule. Trisodium citrate-surfactant combination has properties to act as better emulsifier. Abstract: Citrate and tartarate based food preservatives can be used to enhance the emulsifying properties of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) based micellar system and thus making it appropriate for food applications. Exploration of interactions between the two species is the key constraint for execution of such ideas. In this work various micellar and thermodynamic parameters of SDS like critical micellar concentration (CMC), standard Gibbs free energy of micellization (Δ G 0 mic. ) etc. have been calculated in different concentrations of disodium tartarate (DST) and trisodium citrate (TSC) in the temperature range (288.15–318.15) K from the conductivity and surface tension measurements. The parameters obtained from these studies reveal the competitive nature of both the additives with SDS for available positions at the air/water interface. TSC is found to be more effective additive in order to make SDS micellar system better for its potential applications as food emulsifier.
