Possible Interaction: Ethanol and Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate

“Incubation of nitrocellulose filters containing proteins in solutions of organic alcohols ethanol , methanol, isopropanol) enabled to increase the immunoblotting sensitivity after denaturating electrophoresis in presence of SDS.”

“The in vitro AChE inhibitory effects of SDS was partially prevented by the use of increasing amounts of ethanol , suggesting that the inhibition was induced by an emulsion effect, which may explain the lack of effect in vivo.”

“The self-assembly of sodium dodecyl sulfate SDS ) is modified by the alcohol molecules into cylindrical and bilayer micelles as a function of the alcohol/SDS mass ratio.”

“The use of ethanol enables the working concentration of SDS to be reduced dramatically and also avoids the introduction of other surfactants or chemical reagents.”

“The peak shape behaviour with the four organic solvents (methanol, ethanol , propanol and acetonitrile) was checked in the presence and absence of SDS.”

“Consequently, for purification of lactonic SLs, ethanol not only lacked the selectivity in removing acidic SLs but also resulted in significant loss of desired products.”

“In conclusion, this study shows that small amounts of SLS can increase the ethanol content and the encapsulation efficiency of ethanol, and allow the reduction in the amount of dextrin required to encapsulate ethanol in the preparation of microcapsules.”

“In particular, the ethanol content and the encapsulation efficiency with the dextrin/ethanol/water ratio of 0.4/1/1, which had relatively small amounts of dextrin, were about ten times higher in the presence of SLS than those without SLS.”

“Interestingly, SLS at concentrations below 2% remarkably increased both the ethanol content and the encapsulation efficiency of ethanol.”

“It was found that below 150 mM all the long chain alcohols investigated in this study cause an increase in tau2 and, hence, micellar stability, due to the strong ion-dipole interaction between the SDS and the alkyl alcohol.”
