AbstractOligosaccharide analysis is commonly done by acid hydrolysis and following HPLC analysis. A major problem is the incomplete hydrolysis of oligosaccharides and disaccharides and the increasing formation of volatile furfural from pentose monomers and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from hexose monomers. This paper optimizes the conditions of hydrolysis approaches and proposes a method for oligosaccharide quantification. The optimal condition for hydrolysis of model xylan from corn cob was found to be for 100 °C hydrolysis temperature, 120 min hydrolysis time, and 2 wt% sulfuric acid concentration. Under these conditions, the total free and bound xylose yield was 77.4% and hemicellulose conversion 87.4% respectively; no degradation products were found. The optimal conditions for hydrolysis of model xylan from beech wood were found to be for 120 °C hydrolysis temperature, 120 min hydrolysis time, and 2 wt% sulfuric acid concentration. Under these conditions, the total free and bound xylose yield was 65.1% and hemicellulose conversion 70.5% respectively; no degradation products were found. For pentosan hydrolysate, conditions were further optimized (110 °C, 60 min, 2 wt% H2SO4). Standard addition of xylan from the corn cob for hydrolysation showed similar conversion rates (< 2% deviation); no matrix effects were detected.

The rates of hydrolysis of thioacetic, thiobenzoic, and three substituted thiobenzoic acids increase with concentration of solvent sulfuric or perchloric acid to a maximum in 30–40% acid and then decrease. Yates–McClelland r, Bunnett–Olsen [Formula: see text], and Hammett ρ parameters, and entropies of activation indicate an AAC2 mechanism over this range of acid concentrations. In acid concentrations above 50–60% the rates increase sharply and the same mechanistic criteria now indicate an AAc1 mechanism. The difference between the rate–acidity profile of thiobenzoic acid and that of ethyl thiolbenzoate can be explained by the different response of the activity coefficients of their transition states to increase in sulfuric acid concentration.

S. platensis is a microalga that contains carbohydrate composition of 30.21% which makes it potential to be used as raw material for ethanol production. Hydrolysis of S. platensis is the first step for converting its carbohydrates into monosaccharides. The second step is fermentation of monosaccharides into ethanol. This research aims to study the effect of temperature and microalgae concentration on the hydrolysis of S. platensis using sulfuric acid as catalyst. This research was conducted using 300 mL sulfuric acid of 2 mol/L, hydrolysis temperatures of 70, 80 and 90 °C, and microalgae concentrations of 20, 26.7, and 33.3 g/L. The effect of temperature is significant in the hydrolysis of S. platensis using sulfuric acid. At microalgae concentration of 20 g/L and hydrolysis time of 35 minutes, the higher the temperatures (70, 80, and 90 °C), the more the glucose yields would be (8.9, 13.5, and 22.9%). This temperature effect got stronger when the hydrolysis was running for 15 minutes. Every time the hydrolysis temperature increased by 10 °C, the glucose yield increased by 13.0% at microalgae concentration of 33.3 g/L. At temperature of 90 °C and time of 35 minutes, the higher the microalgae concentrations (20, 26.7, and 33.3 g/L), the higher the glucose yields would be (25.5, 27.7, and 28.2%). The highest glucose concentration obtained was 2.82 g/L at microalgae concentration of 33.3 g/L, temperature of 90 °C, and time of 35 minutes.

This paper concerned nanocrystalline cellulose(NCC)’s isolation from microcrystalline cellulose(MCC) by sulfuric acid hydrolysis, meanwhile centrifuging, ultrasonic treatment and freeze-drying were carried out afterwards. It covered the effect of reaction conditions on the yield of NCC. It indicated that hydrolysis time was the factor that matters most and it was possible to obtain the largest yield with hydrolysis time being 108min, hydrolysis temperature being 43oC and sulfuric acid concentration being 33%. It also investigated the microcosmic morphology of NCC by Transmission Electronic Microscopy(TEM). MCC and NCC’s thermal properties were studied further.

The primary goal of this study was optimized condition for hydrolyzed of papermaking waste (poplar sawdust) as a potential bio-ethanol source by sulfuric acid pretreatment. Based on 23 factorial design, fifteen operations were performed by varying on T, t and c (T: hydrolysis temperature, t: hydrolysis time and c: sulfuric acid concentration). The components of the hydrolysate and solid fractions were analyzed by GC, X-RD and SEM, respectively. The results showed that optimal condition was T 44.8°C, t 120min and c 60%, and reducing sugar yield of 43.3% can be obtained. Through GC detection, glucose content of 26.10 g/L and xylose content of 9.00 g/L is available in hydrolyzate for fermentation. The residue crystallinity declined 74.34% from XRD analysis, the fiber structure was destroyed completely by acid hydrolysis from SEM photograph.

Corncob contains xylan content of 12.4 - 12.9% which can be converted to xylitol [1]. Xylitol significantly reduces the population of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) in saliva compared with fluoride [3]. The effectiveness of xylitol from corn cobs waste is an antibacterial substance of S. mutans in safe and water-soluble mouthwash. The purpose of this research is to produce xylitol from corn cobs waste and to test the xylitol inhibition as anti bacterial in S. mutans bacteria. The xylitol extraction method of corncob using aqueous sulfuric acid is 0.25; 0.5; 0.75 and 1.0%. The extraction time was then varied from 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 min. The results showed xylitol compound from corn tuna waste was highest at 0.25% sulfuric acid concentration with 30 minutes hydrolysis time of 249.7 ppm and the lowest at 0.75% acid concentration and hydrolysis time of 90 minutes is 5.6 ppm. Xylitol compounds can be obtained from corn cobs waste has the value of inhibitory growth of S. Mutans bacteria in all variations of acid concentration (H2SO4) and hydrolysis time is 100%.

Cellulose hydrolysis from rice husk (Oryza sativa) into glucose with sulfonated charcoal catalyst was conducted. The aim of this research was to determine sulfuric acid concentration and contact time on the sulfonation process of charcoal which would produce the highest glucose rendement from cellulose hydrolysis of rice husk. Sulfuric acid concentrations in this experiment were 8, 10, and 12 N with variation of contact time of 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours respectively.  Rice husk was delignified with NaOH 10% to produce cellulose which was hydrolyzed by sulfonated charcoal catalyst. Hydrolysis reaction with the ratio cellulose/aquadest 1:25 (w/v) was conducted in autoclave with temperature 130 oC for 3 hours. The result showed that 8 N concentration of sulfuric acid and 12 hours of contact time produced the highest glucose rendement 17,9%. Keywords : rice husks, cellulose, glucose, sulfonated charcoal
