This work reviews the use of carbohydrates and their derivatives as renewable raw materials
in the production of surfactants. Methods to attain state‐of‐the‐art carbohydrate‐derived …

Ascorbyl fatty acid esters act both as antioxidants and surfactants. These esters are obtained
by acylation of vitamin C using different acyl donors in presence of chemical catalysts or …

The objective of the present study was to synthesize novel pH-sensitive block copolymers
forming supramolecular assemblies and to explore their potential as poorly water-soluble …

Drug nanoparticle formulation using ascorbic acid derivatives and its therapeutic uses have
recently been introduced. Hydrophilic ascorbic acid derivatives such as ascorbyl glycoside …

A new category of gels where gelification and breaking of the gels are chemically induced is
presented. In particular, the latent gellant polyallylamine produced stable gels with some …

Esters of l-ascorbic acid with long-chain fatty acids (E-304) are employed as antioxidants in
foods rich in lipids. Although their enzymatic synthesis offers some advantages compared …

A bolaform surfactant, 1, 12-diascorbyl dodecanedioate (BOLA12), with ascorbic acid units
as the polar headgroups was synthesized for the first time. Once dispersed in water above …

Alkyl vitamin C derivatives (ASCn) combine in their structure a lipophilic and a hydrophilic
moiety and exhibit properties of typical surfactant molecules. Self-assembly properties of …

The 6-O-ascorbic acid alkanoates, ascorbyl-OCO (CH2) n-2CH3 (ASC n), behave as anionic
surfactants in water. At low water content (10% w/v) aqueous dispersions also form coagels …

Purpose To evaluate the potential of palmitoyl ascorbate (PA)-loaded micelles for ascorbate-
mediated cancer cell targeting and cytotoxicity. Methods PA was incorporated in …
