OIL SOLUBLE POLYSACCHARIDES

摘要

OIL SOLUBLE POLYSACCHARIDES Palmitate and stearate esters of polysaccharides such as cellulose ethers and guars are soluble in mineral oil and fatty ester solvents making them useful for cosmetic and oil lubricant applications. A preferred process involve mixing a polysaccharide in an organic solvent and esterifying with an acid chloride in the presence of a catalyst such as triethylamine.
