Sucrose octaacetate

Sucrose octaacetate is an acetylated derivative of sucrose and can be used as a food additive, binder, and plasticizer. Sucrose octaacetate is also used in many pesticides, insecticides, and other toxic products as a deterrent to accidental poisoning. (In Vitro) :Sucrose octaacetate is nontoxic and has a number of uses based on its bitter taste. Polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers and nanorods are obtained using 2 and 3 g Sucrose octaacetate, respectively. The nanostructures containing irregular-shaped agglomerates, such as particulate particles and scaffolds are observed with increasing the concentrations of Sucrose octaacetate. The presence of Sucrose octaacetate during polymerization could only induce a change in morphology, but could not influence the molecular structure of the resulting PANI. Compared with those derived with 1, 3, and 4 g Sucrose octaacetate, the polymerized PANI from 2 g Sucrose octaacetate possesses higher thermal stability and electrical conductivity due to its higher crystallinity and highly ordered structure . (In Vivo) :No recombination has been found between the Sucrose octaacetate-avoidance phenotype and PRP haplotype in any mouse population. To assess the latter possibility, two type-A, proline-rich protein genes (MP2 and M14), situated approximately 30 kb apart at the Prp locus, are separately transferred from a Sucrose octaacetate-taster inbred strain (SWR) to a Sucrose octaacetate-nontaster inbred strain (FVB) . Five MP2-transgenic mice and seven M14-transgenic mice are insensitive to 1 mM Sucrose octaacetate in two-bottle tests, thus retaining the nontaster FVB phenotype .
