METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF MIXTURES OF MONO- AND OLIGOMERS OF CARBOHYDRATE ESTERS, MIXTURES OF CARBOHYDRATE ESTERS SO OBTAINED AND THEIR USE

摘要

The method entails reacting carbohydrates with saturated fatty acids and/or ester-forming derivatives of fatty acids in liquid hydrogen fluoride, which is simultaneously used as solvent and is removed by distillation at the end of the reaction. The mixtures of carbohydrate esters are used as surfactants or fat substitutes.
