Sorbitan monolaurate is a natural compound that can be isolated from the seeds of the Cucurbitaceae family. It is used in sample preparation for biocompatible polymers, as well as for detergent compositions. Sorbitan monolaurate has been shown to act as an absorption enhancer, which may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules and its capacity to interact with sodium citrate. Sorbitan monolaurate also has biological properties such as the inhibition of autoimmune diseases, malonic acid production, and bacterial growth.
