Some chemical and surfactant characterizations have been carried out on a range of sucrose esters varying in composition from predominantly monoto diester. These compounds are proposed as simple models for more complex glycolipids (cord‐factor analogues) which are representative of biosurfactants. The latter have potential application in enhanced oil recovery arising from their excellent surfactant properties.
