Y-Carrageenans

More recently, El Modhy et al. investigated the hydrolysis of sucrose over Kappa carrageenan/acrylic acid graft-copolymers (kC-g-AAc) prepared by y-radiation. They showed that the catalytic activity of the kC-g-AAc was dependent on the reaction temperature [29]. As expected, at 80°C, the activity was higher than at 30°C because of lower diffusional resistance.

The cooling rate is 1.5 °C min-1, (a) ( ) Weight-average molar weight, Mw, and (A) second virial coefficient, A2. (b) ( ) Specific optical rotation at 436 nm, and ( ) penetration parameter, y, defined as tlie ratio of the radius of the equivalent hard sphere to the radius of gyration of the dissolved particles (see equation (5.33) in chapter 5). See the text for explanations of different regions I, II, III and IV.
