Abstract The effect of the chain length distribution on the phase behavior, the structure of liquid crystals, and physicochemical properties was investigated in water/ polyglycerol fatty acid ester. Polyglycerol fatty acid esters with sharply distributed polyglycerol (10G*0.7L) and with broadly distributed polyglycerol (10G0.7L) were used. Unreacted polyglycerol in both surfactants was removed. 10G*0.7L forms hexagonal liquid crystals at a higher concentration than 10G0.7L. The effective cross-sectional area of the lipophilic parts in the hexagonal phase of 10G0.7L is smaller than that of 10G*0.7L owing to the difference in the chain length distribution. Evidently, 10G0.7L molecules are tightly packed in aggregates; therefore, 10G0.7L decreased the surface tension more strongly and promoted emulsification.
