Application

Sucrose octaacetate (SOA) is a bitter-tasting acetylated sugar that is commonly used to study gustatory sensitivity in mice.
  • SOA can undergo partial deacetylation by lipases or proteases to form analogs, which are useful intermediates for synthesizing artificial sweeteners.
  • It can also be used as an in situ seed and a soft template to synthesize polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers under acidic conditions by the oxidative polymerization of aniline using ammonium peroxydisulfate (APS) as an oxidizing agent.
