The solvation properties and effect of d-fructose on the taste behavior of Citrus aurantium active components in aqueous solutions.

The densities and viscosities of synephrine hydrochloride and octopamine hydrochloride aqueous solutions were determined. Apparent molar volumes, apparent molar volume at infinite dilution, viscosity B-coefficients and hydration number were calculated, and it was found that synephrine hydrochloride acts as a better structure maker than octopamine hydrochloride in aqueous solutions. The densities of the investigated salts were measured in aqueous d-fructose solutions, and the corresponding apparent molar volumes of transfer at infinite dilution were determined.
