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).

The tasting of bitter compounds may have evolved as a protective mechanism against ingestion of potentially harmful substances. We have identified second messengers involved in bitter taste and show here for the first time that they are rapid and transient.

Based on crosses among inbred strains derived principally from M. m. domesticus, sucrose octaacetate (SOA) aversion in laboratory mice has been thought for many years to be controlled by a single genetic locus (Soa) located on distal chromosome (Chr) 6.
