Solanidine (C17H43O/V) is a steroidal aglycone of glycoalkaloids and an important precursor for the synthesis of hormones and some pharmacologically active compounds. Glycoalkaloids are hydrolysed by mineral acid yielding solanidine and a carbohydrate moiety. In this paper the kinetics of hydrolysis of glycoalkaloids from potato (Solanum tuberosum L) tuber sprouts by using solid-liquid systems were studied as well as solanidine isolation from the liquid phase of the system. The dried and milled tuber sprouts of potato were used as the solid phase and solutions of hydrochloric acid of different concentration in 96 % vol. ethanol, mixed with chloroform in a volume ratio of 2:3, 1:1, 3:2 and 4:1, were used as the liquid phase. The aim of the paper was to choose the optimal concentration of hydrochloric acid in ethanol, the volume ratio of hydrochloric acid in ethanol to chloroform in the liquid phase and the time for solanidine hydrolytic extraction, as well as to isolate solanidine from the liquid phase.

Abstract Calcium peroxide (CaO2) pretreatment was employed to remove lignin and subsequently facilitate enzymatic digestibility of wheat straw. An optimal condition was obtained at 130°C for 10 min with 0.35 g CaO2/g dried material of wheat straw and a 1:8 solid-liquid ratio. Under this condition, 57.8% of initial lignin, 7.2% of initial glucan, and 30.6% of initial xylan were removed from CaO2 pretreatment, respectively, meanwhile, a glucose recovery of 90.6 % and a xylose recovery of 65.9 % were obtained from the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of treated wheat straw, respectively. CaO2 pretreatment was proved to be a very effective method in delignification and improving enzymatic digestibility. Compared to raw material, the complex structure of lignocellulose was drastically disrupted with a wide emergence of scaly bulges and fully exposed microfibers, which still retained in the solid.
