General description

Sucrose octaacetate is an acetylated analog of sucrose and a food-safe classical bitterant commonly used in food and dairy products.

Application


  • High-Degree Concentration Organic Solvent Forward Osmosis for Pharmaceutical Pre-Concentration.: Investigates the potential of organic solvent forward osmosis technologies in pharmaceutical applications, focusing on pre-concentration processes that may benefit from the stabilizing effects of sucrose octaacetate (Takada et al., 2024).

  • Nutrient-conditioned intake stimulation does not require a distinctive flavor cue in rats.: Explores behavioral responses in rats to various flavors including sucrose octaacetate, suggesting implications for understanding human dietary choices and the development of food additives (Sclafani et al., 2020).

  • Discrimination of Isointense Bitter Stimuli in a Beer Model System.: Examines the ability of individuals to distinguish between different bitter compounds, including sucrose octaacetate, in a controlled beer tasting model, which can influence food science and product development (Higgins and Hayes, 2020).
