Effect of temperature and concentration on the self-aggregation of a novel alkylglycoside
The increased effort to preserve the environment among industry and consumers has driven extensive research toward the identification of surfactants that are nontoxic, biodegradable, and synthetized from renewable resources. Alkylglycosides with alkyl chain length from 8 to 14 and glucose head group from 1 to 3 were characterised in several studies. A novel enzymatic synthesis allows the production of a surfactant with a long alkyl chain, 16 carbons, and a long glucose chain, 8 glucose (C16G8); we are focusing on its characterisation. Since the functionalities and possible applications of C16G8 can compete with the widely used Polysorbate 80, we want to investigate further the self-aggregation mechanism with SANS and complement it with SAXS experiments. This understanding will lead to further development of liposome carriers containing C16G8 as a trigger for controlled release in the framework of the BIBAFOODS project (Initial Training Network (ITN) funded by the FP7-PEOPLE-2013 programme).
