Flaxseed gum (FG) is a by-product of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) meal production that useful as food thickener, emulsifier, and foaming agent. FG typically recovered by hot-water extraction from flaxseed hull or whole seed. However, includes complex polymer structures contain bioactive compounds. Therefore, temperature can play an important role in determining its functional properties, solution appearance, stability during storage. These characteristics FG, including quality, determine...
The photocontrollable antibacterial and biofilm modulatory activity of a panel light responsive carbohydrate-based surfactants is reported.
Abstract Surfactants are a versatile and widely used class of molecules, due to their valuable adsorption self-assembly properties. In particular, surfactants that can respond stimuli interest in modulating wetting, controlling delivery, exploring mechanistic aspects biological processes. Incorporating azobenzene into is classic approach rendering molecules light as an external stimulus; these find wide utility the precise spatiotemporal control dispersed systems, from DNA graphene.

We describe the parallel synthesis, photocontrollable surface tension, and antibacterial performance of a new class carbohydrate fluorosurfactant. Novel fluorosurfactants comprised mono- or disaccharide head group linked to an azobenzene unit that was variably substituted with trifluoromethyl group. Fluorosurfactants were rapidly assembled using venerable CuI-catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction exhibited light-addressable activity, excellent water solubility, selective activity...
We report the synthesis and photocontrollable ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) activity of a panel carbohydrate-based surfactants.
ABSTRACT The use of biomass‐sourced chemical feedstocks creates a conflict over land between food and fuel/chemical production. Such could be reduced by making the annual 1.3 Pg waste resource. Oleic acid is available from seed oils such as pumpkin, grape, avocado mango. Its esterification with diols 1,3‐propanediol, resorcinol orcinol was used to form diesters naturally occurring norspermidine prepare diamide, all under ambient conditions. These compounds were then epoxidized polymerized....
