Synthesis and foaming properties of new anionic surfactants based on a renewable building block: sodium dodecyl isosorbide sulfates.
TL;DR: Two agro-based anionic surfactants containing an isosorbide moiety have been synthesized and their amphiphilic properties evaluated and it is shown that 5-O-dodecyl isOSorbide sulfate is the most soluble and the most efficient surfactant.

Improved synthesis of sucrose fatty acid monoesters
TL;DR: In this paper, the base-catalyzed synthesis of four sucrose fatty acid esters (caprylate, laurate, myristate, and palmitate) was performed in dimethylsulfoxide by transesterification of sucrose with the corresponding vinyl esters using disodium hydrogen phosphate as catalyst.

Corn stover saccharification with concentrated sulfuric acid: effects of saccharification conditions on sugar recovery and by-product generation
TL;DR: The present study employed Taguchi experimental design to study the effects of seven parameters on corn stover concentrated sulfuric acid saccharification and found that the ratio of acid to feedstock significantly affected glucose recovery, but not total sugar recovery.
