Is RapiGest SF considered to be heat labile? - WKB73329

Article number: 73329

ENVIRONMENT

  • RapiGest SF
  • Solubilization factor (SF)

ANSWER

No

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

RapiGest SF will not degrade in high temperatures (e.g., 95 °C), provided the pH of the solution is >6.0.

Lowering the pH to pH 2.0–3.0 initiates degradation of RapiGest.
Heating the low-pH solution further promotes the hydrolysis to form its products.

The half life of RapiGest SF in pH 2.0 is 8 minutes.
The half life of RapiGest SF in pH 3.0 is 60 minutes.
