Fuente: WIPO "tomato" The present invention relates to a conjugate of a saccharide compound, selected from di-, oligo- and polysaccharides, and at least one hydrophobic compound selected from terpenes, polyterpenes and polyterpene ethers,



where the hydrophobic compound in the conjugate is either directly bound to an oxygen atom of the saccharide or is present as a radical of the formulae (I) or (II):










where in the formulae (I) and (II)
R is a radical of a terpene compound, a polyterpene or a polyterpene ether compound
k is 0 or 1,
Y is C(O) or C(O)NH,
A1 is a direct bond or C1-C6 alkylene,
A2 is C2-C10 alkylene,
X1 is C(O), or may also be OC(O) or NHC(O) if k=1 and A1 is C1-C6 alkylene and where X1 is attached to an oxygen atom of the saccharide compound,
X2 is C(O)NH or NHC(O)NH,
X3— is N═ or NH—,
and where X3 in formula (II) is attached to a carbon atom of the saccharide compound.




The invention also relates to the use of such a conjugate as a stabilizer for an aqueous emulsion of a water-immiscible liquid.
