Besides the sweetness of pseudo-sugars, a pseudo-sugar may have a biological activity, as expected earlier, owing to its structural close resemblance to a true sugar... 

Ionic surfactants with only one alkyl chain are generally extremely hydrophilic so that strongly curved and thus almost empty micelles are formed in ternary water-oil-ionic surfactant mixtures. The addition of an electrolyte to these mixtures results in a decrease of the mean curvature of the amphiphilic film. However, this electrolyte addition does not suffice to drive the system through the phase inversion. Thus, a rather hydrophobic cosurfactant has to be added to invert the structure from oil-in-water to water-in-oil [7, 66]. In order to study these complex quinary mixtures of water/electrolyte (brine)-oil-ionic surfactant-non-ionic co-surfactant, brine is considered as one component. As was the case for the quaternary sugar surfactant microemulsions (see Fig. 1.9(a)) the phase behaviour of the pseudo-quaternary ionic system can now be represented in a phase tetrahedron if one keeps temperature and pressure constant.
