Tween 401kg

Tween 40 is a non-ionic surfactant that has been used in the reaction mechanism of lipolytic enzymes. It has been shown to have metabolic effects on fatty acids, with an increase in the rate at which they are metabolized. Tween 40 is also a component of particle suspensions and may be used as a medium for chemiluminescence reactions. Sodium salts such as sodium benzoate or sodium chloride may be added to the solution to produce light emission. Tween 40 has also been shown to provide linear calibration curves for quantitative measurement of glutamate levels in biological fluids by fluorescence photometry. The use of Tween 40 can prevent eye disorders, such as dry eye syndrome, due to its lubricating properties. Tween 40 is synthesized by the esterification of sorbitol and oleic acid with ethylene oxide.
