Abstract:
It is presented the behaviour of some sodium laureate in PEG (polietilenglicol-metil-eter) and Tween 80 (polioxietilenglicolsorbitan monooleat) solutions after exposure in an electrical field. Sodium laurate is much more useful as a surfactant than lauric acid because it has a much higher water solubility. Sodium laurate is widely used in bar soaps and cosmetics because it is mild to the skin and leaves feeling soft. Moreover, sodium laurate at approximately 0.3% of the rumen weight reduced ruminal protozoal population and had a negative effect on fibrolytic activities of ruminal fluid and microbial protein flow to the intestine. The experimental of the transport processes was performed by measuring the relaxation time, using the depolarization of the electrolytic cell method.
