PREPARATION AND SURFACE-ACTIVE PROPERTIES OF OXYPROPYLATED DIOL MONOESTERS OF FATTY-ACIDS WITH AN AMIDE OXIME TERMINAL GROUP

Locally produced non-edible oil, namely, rice bran oil (R.B.O.) was utilized as starting materials for preparing new nonionic surfactant. Oxypropylated diet monoesters of linoleic and rice bran oil fatty acids were prepared. Also amide oxime derivatives were obtained. Surface active properties of these compounds were measured. Under neutral condition amide oximes served as nonionic surfactants and their properties were similar to other oxypropylated monoesters.
