6-Octanoyl Sucrose

Monoesters of sucrose and fatty acids become furthermore of primary interest owing to their surfactant properties.

ChEBI: Beta-D-fructofuranosyl 6-O-octanoyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside is a carboxylic ester that results from the formal condensation between caprylic acid and the hydroxy group at position 6 of the glucosyl residue of sucrose. It is functionally related to a sucrose.
