Water structure modification by d-(+)-glucose at different concentrations and temperatures-effect of mutarotation.

ABSTRACT: Water structure modification by carbohydrates is essential both in chemistry and life processes and in particular, molecular level interaction of glucose with water is very important. With a view to developing a fundamental knowledge base, thermodynamic parameters derived from measurements of density, viscosity, and refractive index have been analyzed to investigate how d-(+)-glucose alters the structure of water at various concentrations and temperatures. The nature and extent of the interactions have been investigated using apparent molar volume, Jones-Dole constants, changes in free energy (ΔG), changes in entropy (ΔS), and changes in enthalpy (ΔH) for viscous flow. Using measurements from dynamic light scattering (DLS), the sizes of the aggregates were studied. The
