Abstract F-Sulfo Fatty Methyl Esters sulfonates (F- MES) are new anionic surfactants obtained via sulfoxidation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) with SO2, O2, and ultraviolet light of appropriate wavelength. The designation of Φ refers to the random positioning of SO3 in the alkyl chain. In this work we summarize the most relevant results of our research started fifteen years ago, on the synthesis, separation, analysis and performance of F-sulfo fatty methyl ester sulfonates know...
