Is there any possibility of double esterification with both carboxyl groups on the DDSA bonding to neighbouring OH groups on the inulin (or the gum) and if so, under what conditions can this occur? Has anyone got any similar information concerning the esterification of starch and other polysaccharides?

Dear Senan,
My Phd Thesis was modification of inulin.
I used methyl esters of fatty acids (from C6 to C18) for modification of inulin chain. The reaction was carried in DMSO, or in NaOMe as catalyst under normal and ultrasonic influence. In the above link are part of my results.
Best regard!
