Sucrose octaacetate is an acetylated derivative of sucrose. Sucrose octaacetate can be used as food additive and also used as an adhesive and plasticizer. Sucrose octaacetate also used in many pesticides, insecticides, and other toxic products as a deterr

Sucrose octaacetate is nontoxic and has a number of uses based on its bitter taste. Polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers and nanorods are obtained using 2 and 3 g Sucrose octaacetate, respectively. The nanostructures containing irregular-shaped agglomerates, such as particulate particles and scaffolds are observed with increasing the concentrations of Sucrose octaacetate. The presence of Sucrose octaacetate during polymerization could only induce a change in morphology, but could not influence the molecular structure of the resulting PANI. Compared with those derived with 1, 3, and 4 g Sucrose octaacetate, the polymerized PANI from 2 g Sucrose octaacetate possesses higher thermal stability and electrical conductivity due to its higher crystallinity and highly ordered structure [1][3].

No recombination has been found between the Sucrose octaacetate-avoidance phenotype and PRP haplotype in any mouse population. To assess the latter possibility, two type-A, proline-rich protein genes (MP2 and M14), situated approximately 30 kb apart at the Prp locus, are separately transferred from a Sucrose octaacetate-taster inbred strain (SWR) to a Sucrose octaacetate-nontaster inbred strain (FVB). Five MP2-transgenic mice and seven M14-transgenic mice are insensitive to 1 mM Sucrose octaacetate in two-bottle tests, thus retaining the nontaster FVB phenotype [2].
