Product 1

HCID 3037582Galactaric acid

Procedure

Since D-galacturonic acid is a cheap raw material, which is enriched in sugar beet pulp and citrus fruit peel, a method for catabolizing D-galacturonic acid (D-galacturonate) is needed. In particular, a cheap method for producing mucic acid is needed.
