D-(+)-Cellobiose (CNP0226604.15) → Sorbitol

Participants

Reaction Steps

The yield for the C6 compounds (sorbitol, mannitol and glucose) was calculated relative to the concentration of glucose and cellobiose in the reaction solution prior to the reaction. The C6 sugar alcohol yield (sorbitol, mannitol) was 84.0%, the glucose yield was 13.4%. The yield for xylitol (84.2%) and xylose (11.7%) were calculated relative to the concentration of xylose in the reaction solution prior to the reaction. Furthermore, glycerol, 1,3-propanediol, methanol, levulinic acid, hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural and furan acid were identified as by-products.
