Benzoylation of methyl and benzyl glycopyranosides by benzoic anhydride in acetonitrile in
the presence of copper (II) trifluoroacetate as a promoter has given monobenzoates with a …

Sugar esters are considered as surfactants due to its amphiphilic balance that can lower the
surface tension in oil/water mixtures. Enzymatic syntheses of these compounds are …

Heterogeneous biocatalysts prepared by immobilizing recombinant lipases are promising
for implementation in organic synthesis of various esters used as fragrances, emollients …

Sugar fatty acid esters (SFAEs) are widely used as nontoxic biosurfactants. This chapter
