The present review describes the chemistry and physiological properties of the sucrose esters (SEs) obtained from natural or synthetic pathways, with emphasis on those that have aliphatic and phenylpropanoid substituents on their sucrose moiety. Synthesis, extraction and characterization methods for the SEs and NSEs are discussed in terms of synthetic procedures, separation techniques and spectroscopic methods. The physiological properties are discussed taking into account the nature of the substituent groups and their regiochemistry (position and number of substitutions) on the sucrose moiety.

天然蔗糖酯：对未充分研究的化学类别化合物的化学和生理用途的展望

本综述描述了从天然或合成途径获得的蔗糖酯 (SE) 的化学和生理特性，重点介绍了在其蔗糖部分具有脂肪族和苯丙烷取代基的那些。从合成程序、分离技术和光谱方法的角度讨论了 SE 和 NSE 的合成、提取和表征方法。考虑到取代基的性质和它们在蔗糖部分上的区域化学（取代的位置和数量），讨论了生理特性。
