Abstract
The phase behavior of mixtures of water, octane, n-alkyl polyglycol ethers (CiEj), and n-alkyl β-D-glucopyranosides (CmG1) is systematically studied as a function of temperature and composition. The addition of CmG1 to water-octane-CiEj mixtures promoted formation of a three-phase region that is nearly independent of temperature in all mixtures studied. The size and extent of this three-phase region are shown as a function of CmG1 concentration and hydrophibicity and CiEj amphiphilicity. This unique behavior arises from the extremely low oil solubility of the alkyl monoglucosides.
