Abstract

A carrier phase, a neutral surfactant or a reaction product thereof, and a reaction product of a saccharide polymer and a fatty acid or a fatty ester may be formulated as consumer or industrial products of various types. The reaction product of the saccharide polymer may be obtained in the presence of water and a hydroxide base (optionally in the presence of the neutral surfactant). The saccharide polymer comprises a dextran, a dextrin compound, or any combination thereof, and the fatty acid comprises about 50 wt. % or above of one or more straight-chain fatty acids.
