    A series of sugar-based surfactants, involving a single hydrophobic chain (C-12) and two side-by-side arranged head groups, was prepared form simple glucose precursors. All surfactants were highly water soluble and exhibited exclusively micellar assemblies. This behavior makes them interesting candidates for oil in water emulsifiers. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
