Sucrose Chemistry and Applications of Sucrochemicals

Acrylamide and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural formation during baking of biscuits: Part I: Effects of sugar type

“…This cation can quickly convert to HMF at temperatures above 250°C and under dry pyrolytic conditions (Locas & Yaylayan, 2008). Studies have indicated that the formation of HMF from fructose has to undergo the generation of fructofuranosyl as a first step (Queneau, Jarosz, Lewandowski, & Fitremann, 2007;Román-Leshkov, Chheda, & Dumesic, 2006). Glucose and fructose can also generate HMF through the formation of a dicarbonyl intermediate, 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG), from the Maillard reaction and caramelization (Degen, Hellwig, & Henle, 2012;Locas & Yaylayan, 2008).…”

Amphiphilic copolymers of sucrose methacrylate and acrylic monomers: Bio-based materials from renewable resource

“…Lipase has been described in the literature as an efficient enzymatic catalyst to esterification of sucrose. However, the selectivity of lipasecatalysed esterifications of sucrose takes place at the 6-OH and 6 -OH hydroxyl groups (Oosterom et al, 1996;Queneau, Jarosz, Lewandowski, & Fitremann, 2008), making the lipases catalysis an important way to obtain diesters of sucrose as precursors to polyesters in which the sucrose derivatives constitute the backbone of the polymers (Albertin, Stenzel, Barner-Kowollik, Foster, & Davis, 2004). Sucrose-based polyester (Park, Kim, & Dordick, 2000) and polyamides (Patil et al, 1991a), in which sucrose is a side group, were synthesized using lipases Novozym-435 enzymatic catalysis and Proleather enzymatic catalysis, respectively.…”

Antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of 1,2,3-triazole-sucrose derivatives

“…28 Sucrose, being a biorenewable, biocompatible and biodegradable raw material with relatively low cost, 29 is a promising starting material for the synthesis of new compounds with biological activity. 30 Our research group has been focused on the applications of sucrose for the synthesis of new compounds with potential applications either industrial or in academia. In this sense, we have developed sucrose chemoselective derivatization methods, 31,32 the synthesis of sucrose-based biodegradable polymers [33][34][35] and nanoparticles.…”
