NHC-catalysis enables the successful functionalisation of glycerol through a telescoped reaction strategy involving carbonation and the subsequent oxidative esterification.

Highlights BS, NaTC and NaTDC, impact the rheological properties and gelation of MC.  NaTDC has a greater impact on the viscoelasticity of MC compared to NaTC. NaTDC desorbs from a MC-stabilised interface at lower concentrations than NaTC. Upon digestion, NaTDC destabilises more readily MC-stabilised emulsion droplets. During MC-stabilised emulsion digestion, NaTDC generates less FFA than NaTC.
