Project Details
Description
Starch can be enzymatically degraded to give 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose (AF), a compound which can only be obtained in small amounts by chemical methods. The exact structure has, however, been discussed for years, and untill now not determined. Investigation of the chemical reactions together with preparation of derivatives should give a better understanding of the structure of AF. Furthermore the use of AF as a chiral synthon should be investigated.
The preparation of C-6 acylated derivatives of AF with fatty acids should be undertaken, both chemically and by enzymatic methods. These products should be investigated as emulgators.
