Effect of konjac glucomannan addition on aroma release in gels containing potato starch.

2014

International audience; The present study aimed to measure the retention of aroma compounds (ethyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate and carvacrol) in dispersions based on konjac glucomannan and/or potato starch, and to highlight the influence of konjac glucomannan on the mechanisms involved in aroma retention. Publications on the effect of konjac glucomannan on aroma release are scarce. Konjac glocomannan is a polysaccharide used as a food additive for its viscous and emulsifying properties. Retention of aroma compounds in dispersions was calculated from partition coefficients which were measured using the phase ratio variation method. This method, consisting of analyses of the headspace at equilib…

Efficient energy transfer in a tri-chromophoric dyad containing BODIPYs and corrole based on a truxene platform

2018

A star-shaped molecule was designed and synthesized based on a known central truxene platform. Two BODIPY derivatives and one corrole macrocycle were introduced and connected to the 2, 7 and 12-positions of the truxene unit by Suzuki coupling. The dyad was fully characterized by UV-vis absorption, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry. The direction of energy transfer upon electronic excitation was explored, and the star-shaped molecule system exhibits a highly efficient photoinduced energy transfer process from the excited BODIPY part to the corrole unit.

Herstellung, charakterisierung und lösungseigenschaften von einheitlichen styrol-α-methylstyrol block-copolymeren

1977

An improved anionic polymerization technique for the preparation of highly uniform styrene/α-methylstyrene linear two-block copolymers is described. Three sets of samples with molecular weights M were prepared under equal experimental conditions, namely polystyrenes (2 · 105 < M < 3 · 106), poly(α-methylstyrene)s (7 · 104 < M < 4 · 106), and block copolymers (2 · 105 < M < 2,5 · 106). Ultracentrifugation in a density-gradient does not show any chemical heterogeneities in the block copolymers. The molecular polydispersity U = Mw/Mn–1 is U = 0,03 or less as estimated from GPC-measurements. The high molecular and chemical homogeneity of the block copolymers and the optical similarity of the tw…

Über die polymeranaloge bromierung von naturkautschuk und einige lösungseigensch aften des bromkautschuks. Über die molekularen konstanten von naturk…

1961

Naturkautschuk last sich in verdunnter Losung in Cyclohexan bromieren, wobei das Molekulargewicht entsprechend dem Bromgehalt zunimmt (polymeranaloge Umsetzung). Fur Bromkautschuk steigenden Bromgehalts wird Cyclohexan ein zunehmend schlechteres Losungsmittel, was sich in einer Abnahme des 2. osmotischen Virialkoeffizienten und einer Kontraktion des Molekulknauels zeigt. Dieses Ergebnis wird in quantitativer Ubereinstimmung durch Viskositats- und Lichtstreuungsmessungen erhalten. Cyclohexanlosungen von Bromkautschuk mit 43% Brom haben bei Zimmertemperatur einen Θ-Punkt. In diesem Zustand ist der Knauel 1,74mal groser als bei freier Drehbarkeit, in ziemlich guter Ubereinstimmung mit dem an a…

Bestimmung der molekularen konstanten von naturkautschuk. II. Viscositätszahl (staudiger-index), sedimentation und diffusion in cyclohexan

1959

Der Einflus der Losebedingungen auf die Viskositatszahl von Kautschuk in Cyclohexan ist verschwindend, wenn Sauerstoff und Licht ausgeschaltet sind. Es ergibt sich fur den in dieser Arbeit untersuchten Crepe [η] = 650 ± 20 ccm g−1, unabhangig von der Temperatur, der Losedauer und der Aufbewahrungszeit der Losungen. Aus Ultrazentrifugen- und Diffusionsversuchen ergibt sich fur die Sedimentationskonstante s0 = 4,6·10−13 und fur die Diffusionskonstante D0 = 0,48·10−7 cm2sec−1. Das partielle spezifische Volumen des Kautschuks in Cyclohexan ist v2 = 1,10 cm3g−1. Darauserhalt man fur das Molekulargewicht M = 1,6·106. Die thermodynamische Auswertung der Konzentrationsabhangigkeit von s und D zeigt…

Samples of ring and open chain polystyrene in dilute perdeuterated toluene solution were measured by small angle neutron scattering up to a value of the scattering vector Q = 2 nm−1. The molar masses 12000 ≤ M/(g/mol) ≤ 22000, the mean square radii of gyration 〈R2〉 and the second virial coefficients A2 of the samples were determined. The results are compared to theories which describe the dependencies 〈R2〉 = f(M) and A2 = f(M) for both cyclic and linear chain molecules. A qualitative agreement between theory and experiment is obtained.

TiO2-Based Photocatalysis for Organic Synthesis

2010

A major aim of the contemporary chemistry is to replace old environmentally hazardous processes with new, energy efficient routes allowing to reduce or totally avoid the use and production of harmful chemicals and to maximise the quantity of raw material that ends up in the final product. This chapter gives an account of TiO2-based selective photocatalysis as a green synthetic tool for the production of organics. Some case studies of the most common transformations carried out by means of photocatalytic reactions are illustrated in a midway perspective between photochemistry and organic chemistry.

Intrinsic viscosities, [η], second virial coefficients, A2, and interaction potentials, g12, for the ternary systems alcohol (1)/3-heptanone (2)/poly(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (3), with the unbranched alcohols methanol, ethanol and 1-propanol, were determined at 25°C. Taking into account the dependence of the viscometric interaction parameter, B, with the molecular weight of the polymer, the unperturbed dimensions parameter, KΘ, of the polymer was unambiguously obtained. Relationships between ΔKΘ (defined as ΔKΘ = ΔK − KΘ) and excess Gibbs energies, GE, and between excess viscosity, Δ[η], and GE allow to obtain equations relating A2 to ΔKΘ or to Δ[η]. Therefore, A2 can be evaluated from experi…

1960

Lichtstreuungsmessungen an Crepekautschuk in Cyclohexan ergeben Mw = 1,85·106. In Verbindung mit Diffusions- und Sedimentationsmessungen ergibt sich als wahrscheinlichster Wert Mw = 1,7·10−6. Unter Verwendung der Messungen von CARTER, SCOTT und MAGAT wird als Molekulargewichts-Viskositatsbeziehung die Gleichung fur Losungen von Naturkautschuk in Cyclohexan vorgeschlagen. Der 2. Virialkoeffizient und der STAUDINGER-Index nehmen in der Reihenfolge Benzol, Cyclohexen, Cyclohexan zu. Die beiden ersten Losungsmittel sind endotherm, Cyclohexan ist exotherm. Der Tragheitsradius der Molekulknael nach Lichtstreuungsmessungen ist etwa Rw = 1000 A. Der wahrscheinlichste Wert unter Mitberucksichtigung …

The initial stages of the heterogeneous degradation of alkali cellulose by oxygen in relation to the morphology of native cotton cellulose

2007

Treatment of cotton cellulose with sodium hydroxide solutions of varying concentration over extended periods in the absence of oxygen markedly decreases the intrinsic viscosity of both the cellulose in cuoxam and its cellulose trinitrate derivative (CTN) in acetone. Light-scattering measurements show that the molecular weight does not change while the radius of gyration decreases and the second virial coefficient increases. The narrow molecular weight distribution of the native cotton is still maintained. Mild oxidation first causes the intrinsic viscosity to increase. At more prolonged oxidation times the viscosity decreases. These results are interpreted by an intramolecular cross-linking…
