New environmental laws and regulations imply the development of new process with always fewer toxic solvents. Among them, supercritical CO2 (scCO2) based processes are of great interest because scCO2 is easy to remove by depressurization and it avoids contamination by residual traces of organic solvents. Authors used scCO2 as secondary phase in scCO2 /water emulsion stabilized with glycol-surfactants to make porous polymer materials.
In this study, the surface-active properties of several sugar-based fluorinated surfactants used as emulsifiers were investigated with the automated drop tensiometer. CO2 presents a critical point at 31.1 °C and 73.8 bar. Above these T and P conditions, CO2 forms a supercritical phase with solubility properties that make it hard to use. The TRACKER™ pressure cell allows to reach this critical point with CO2 to provide surface tension measurement even in extreme conditions.

Surface-active compounds derived from biomass, especially sugar-based amphiphiles, have received wide attention regarding their biodegradability, low toxicity and ecological acceptability.
In this paper, three sugar-based anionic surfactant were synthesized and characterized in terms of their interfacial and foaming properties and biological effects. The results show that despite a low adsorption rate, the foaming properties of these molecules, probed with a foam analyzer (FOAMSCAN™ by TECLIS), are comparable to commercial surfactants (SDS). Moreover, low irritant effect is observed with these bio-based surfactants.

The emulsifying properties of lignins, abundant plant-derived materials are probed and compared to those of whey protein isolate (WPI).
Surface tension measurements using an automatic drop tensiometer (TRACKER™ by TECLIS) first showed that lignins can diffuse more rapidly until the vicinity of droplets to adsorb onto the interface of the droplets. Moreover, the dynamic complex dilational modulus was also evaluated using the TRACKER™ . It was found that higher lignin concentration results in more dense packing and hence in a stronger solid-like film around the oil droplets. However, an increase of cytotoxicity in higher lignin doses has been observed.
Finally, lignin emulsions were found to be more stable.

The use of plant-derived proteins is still limited despite the growing global demand of sustainable options. In this paper, the physicochemical composition and functional properties of three commercial plant protein concentrates: PoPC (potato), RiPC (rice), and PePC (pea) are examined. Surface tension measurements using an automated drop tensiometer (TRACKER™ by TECLIS) showed that the least soluble molecule, RiPC, induces the lowest reduction in surface tension. Moreover, interfacial tension depends on pH for PoPC and RiPC. In addition, the emulsifying property of potato (PoPC) and pea (PePC) proteins was attributed to their activity at the O/A interface and their surface hydrophobicity, while RiPC stabilized emulsions through the presence of insoluble aggregates around the oil droplet which suggest a potential to act as emulsion stabilizing particles . Finally, major differences in functional properties were observed between commercial and laboratory recovered proteins reported in the literature.

Sugar-based surfactants are a class of environmentally-friendly surface-active molecules well known for their functional performances, good biodegradability and reduced ecological footprint. The major purposes of the study are: (1) to investigate the effect of sugar-based surfactant structure and concentration on their foaming behavior, and (2) to access deeper quantitative understanding of the relationships between the surface properties of sugar-based surfactants and their foaming behavior. Combined with dynamic surface properties previously investigated for the same molecules, foaming properties were measured using the gas-sparging method. The conductivity measurement and image analysis provided by TECLIS FOAMSCAN™ foam analyzer made it possible to analyze foam properties, such as foamability, foam stability, liquid fractions, drainage rate and foam density. Principal component analysis results highlighted that the foamability of glycolipids is strongly impacted by surface adsorption properties such as E0, E0/γeq, C/CMC, Γ and Γ/Γ∞.
