Volumetric, viscometric and spectroscopic studies of molecular interactions of glutamic acid with potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate in aqueous medium at T = 293.15–313.15 K

Exploring the effects of saccharides on the solvation behaviour of L-Citrulline in aqueous medium: Volumetric, transition state theory, transfer parameters and spectroscopic approach

This study examines the volumetric, viscometric and UV-vis characteristics of L-Citrulline in water and aqueous saccharides at atmospheric pressure across the whole concentration range and the absorber operating temperature range of 293.15 K -313.15 K. Density, partial molar volume, apparent molar isobaric expansion, Hepler's constant and hydration number were among the examined volumetric parameters, and viscosity coefficients, viscosity deviation and free energy for viscous flow activation were among the examined viscometric parameters. Stronger interactions between L-Citrulline and L-Arabinose were indicated by the increase in the transfer characteristics in the following order: L-Arabinose > D-xylose. A comparison of the taste behaviours of L-Citrulline in water and in an aqueous solution of saccharides has also been attempted. L-Citrulline interacts with all solvents in a significant way, as evidenced by the UV-visible spectra suggested by the shift in UV-visible absorption maxima that correspond with a rise in L-Citrulline content in the solvent systems chosen.
