The Solubilization of Enzymes, Carbohydrates and Inorganic Colloids in Organic Solvents

11 The Solubilization of Enzymes, Carbohydrates and Inorganic Colloids in Organic Solvents 

The thio-disuccinate 13 aggregates in chloroform/cyclohexane (1 1) to form inverse micelles, which bind and solubilize carbohydrates. H-NMR spectra of nitrophenolates and ESR spectra of TEMPO derivatives indicate that the carbohydrates bind tightly to the surfactant s head group at low water con-tent .  

Platinum salts were incorporated into water in an oil emulsion, e.g. penta-ethylene glycol dodecyl ether in hexadecane/water (= inverted micelle) with well-defined cavities. The platinum colloids which are then produced by hydrazine hydrate are uniform. No measurable particles fell outside the limit of 

The act of cleaning the surface of a soiled material in a water bath containing dissolved detergents - simply called washing - signifies the most important application of amphiphilic molecules . Most dirt is of an organic nature and originates from sebum, foods, synthetic oils and dyes, excrements and many
