There are interesting examples of enantiomers that not only are found separately but also have different chemical properties when reacting with some reagent which is itself an enantiomer. For example (+ )-glucose is metabolized by animals and can be fermented by yeasts, but (—)-glucose has neither of these properties. The enantiomer ( + )-carvone smells of caraway whereas (—)-carvone smells of spearmint. 

The separation of fmctose from glucose illustrates the interaction between the framework stmcture and the cation (Fig. 5) (50). Ca " is known to form complexes with sugar molecules such as fmctose. Thus, Ca—Y shows a high selectivity for fmctose over glucose. However, Ca—X does not exhibit high selectivity. On the other hand, K—X shows selectivity for glucose over fmctose. This polar nature of faujasites and their unique shape-selective properties, more than the molecular-sieving properties, make them most useful as practical adsorbents. 

Immobilization. The fixing property of PEIs has previously been discussed. Another appHcation of this property is enzyme immobilization (419). Enzymes can be bound by reactive compounds, eg, isothiocyanate (420) to the PEI skeleton, or immobilized on soHd supports, eg, cotton by adhesion with the aid of PEIs. In every case, fixing considerably simplifies the performance of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, thus faciHtating preparative work. This technique has been appHed to glutaraldehyde-sensitive enzymes (421), a-glucose transferase (422), and pectin lyase, pectin esterase, and endopolygalacturonase (423). 

Another microbial polysaccharide-based emulsifier is Hposan, produced by the yeast Candida lipolytica when grown on hydrocarbons (223). Liposan is apparentiy induced by certain water-immiscible hydrocarbons. It is composed of approximately 83% polysaccharide and 17% protein (224). The polysaccharide portion consists of D-glucose, D-galactose, 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-galactose, and D-galacturonic acid. The presence of fatty acyl groups has not been demonstrated the protein portion may confer some hydrophobic properties on the complex. 

A Acylsarcosinates. Sodium A/-lautoylsarcosinate [7631-98-3] is a good soap-like surfactant. Table 4 gives trade names and properties. The amido group in the hydrophobe chain lessens the interaction with hardness ions. A/-Acylosarcosinates have been used in dentifrices (qv) where they ate claimed to inactivate enzymes that convert glucose to lactic acid in the mouth (57). They ate prepared from a fatty acid chloride and satcosine ... 

Com symps [8029-43 ] (glucose symp, starch symp) are concentrated solutions of partially hydrolyzed starch containing dextrose, maltose, and higher molecular weight saccharides. In the United States, com symps are produced from com starch by acid and enzyme processes. Other starch sources such as wheat, rice, potato, and tapioca are used elsewhere depending on avadabiHty. Symps are generally sold in the form of viscous Hquid products and vary in physical properties, eg, viscosity, humectancy, hygroscopicity, sweetness, and fermentabiHty. 

Some physical properties of the four most common cyclodexttins are Hsted in Table 1 (3). Other important properties are (/) cyclodexttins are nonreducing (2) glucose is the only product of acid hydrolysis (J) molecular weights are always integral numbers of 162.1, the value for glucose (4) cyclodexttins are nontoxic and (5) they do not appreciably absorb ultraviolet (uv) or visible light. 

Glc = glucose GlcA = glucuronic acid GulA = guluronic acid Man = mannose ManA = mannuronic acid Rha = rhamnose Xyl = xylose Fuc = fucose. Chemical structures and properties are available (19).
