Sucrose benzoate, prepared via our industrial process, has a typical assay of approximately 7.4 benzoyl groups per sucrose molecule. This is about the optimum degree of substitution for the conditions imposed upon the reactants. It should be noted that, although sucrose benzoate is a discrete molecule, i t has a molecular weight approximating that of many oligomeric systems. Figure 1 depicts sucrose benzoate. Please note that the outer surface, or shell, is composed either of aromatic benzene rings or ester groups. This then is the type of surface which w i l l interact with the conditions imposed upon i t .
