The ultrasound-assisted synthesis of lutein disuccinate from all-trans lutein (AL) and succinic anhydride (SA) was investigated in this study. Triethylamine was used as the catalyst. Based on the single-factor experiments, a 7-level-3-factor uniform design and response surface analysis were further employed to evaluate the effects of the selected variables including molar ratio of SA/AL, reacti...

The effect of different commercial modified food starch carrier materials on the flavor retention of the essential oil (EO) of peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) during spray drying and storage was evaluated. The obtained results revealed that the emulsification and encapsulation efficiencies of peppermint EO were higher for all n-octenyl succinic anhydride (OSAN)-modified starches as compared to ...

Three new amphiphilic molecules were synthetized on a basis of common monomer, octadecyl succinic anhydride (OSA), which grafted different PEGylated hydrophilic polar head. The objective this study is to investigate potential relationship between the chemical structure surfactant, and efficiency generate nano-emulsions through spontaneous nano-emulsification method. Beyond innovative synthesis ...
