  1. 1. Oligosaccharide Analysis - Assessment of the DNS Method and Specification of Glucans Processed with CGTase

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Author : Matilda Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : CGTase; DNS; Chromatography; HPAEC; HPAE; Carbohydrate; Carbohydrates; Glucans; Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; Flory; Enza; Enzyme; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this study, the reagent 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) and high-performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC) were used for carbohydrate characterisation. It was revealed that the DNS reaction is not exclusive to reducing ends as commonly thought, but rather that the reagent reacts with other parts of the carbohydrate molecules as well. READ MORE

  2. 2. Phase Behavior of Water and Cyclodextrin Systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Markus Enekvist; [2017]
    Keywords : Phase Diagram; Chemical Engineering; Cyclodextrin; Pharmaceutical Technology; läkemedelsteknologi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The effect of water on α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins (CD) was investigated using sorption calorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic vapor sorption in order to understand the phase behavior and to create phase diagrams. By relating earlier X-ray diffraction patterns of cyclodextrins equilibrated over saturated salt solutions and literature regarding the cyclodextrin hydrates to the sorption calorimetry and vapor sorption results, it proved possible to determine several distinct cyclodextrin structures depending on the cyclodextrin/water composition.

  3. 3. POLYMERIZATION OF δ-VALERO LACTONE BY NOVEL CYCLODEXTRIN DIMER

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Jonas Bengtsson; [2012]
    Keywords : cyclodextrin; ring-opening; polymerization; lactone; macromolecular chemistry;

    Abstract : På senare tid har forskning syftat till att främja miljövänligare teknik inom alla fält. Det visar sig inom materialframställningen som en önskan att använda material som inte är beroende av olja, inte tillverkade med tungmetaller samt nedbrytbara med en minimal miljöpåverkan. READ MORE
