Hydrolysis could contribute to the loss of trihalomethanes (THMs) in the drinking water at elevated temperatures. This study was aimed at investigating THM hydrolysis pertaining to the storage of hot boiled water in enclosed containers. The water pH value was in the range of 6.1-8.2 and the water temperature was varied from 65 to 95 °C. The effects of halide ions, natural organic matter, and dr...

Described here is the sonolytic hydrolysis of peptides achieved by treatment of aqueous solution to which the radical scavenger 1,4-benzenedithiol (1,4-BDT), which has hydrogen donating ability, has been added. Mass spectrometric analysis of the products of sonolytic hydrolysis gave information about amino acid sequence of the peptides without any byproducts. The additive 1,4-BDT improves the s...

The energetics of hydrolysis reactions for high oxidation states oxo/hydroxo monomeric actinide species (ThIVO2, PaIVO2, UIVO2, PaVO2(OH), UVO2(OH), UVIO3, NpVIO3, NpVIIO3(OH), and PuVIIO3(OH)) were calculated at the CCSD(T) level. first step is formation a Lewis acid/base adduct with H2O (hydration), followed by proton transfer to form dihydroxide molecule (hydrolysis); this process repeated u...

The acid hydrolysis of lignocellulosic material (LM) is one of the most widely studied and important subprocess in the LM biorefinery. After acid hydrolysis, LM can be converted to various biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials through chemical or biochemical methods. However, conventional LM acid hydrolysis is not regarded as a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly process because it h...

Background: Enantiopure epoxides are important intermediates in the synthesis of high-value chiral chemicals. Epoxide hydrolases have been exploited in biocatalysis for kinetic resolution of racemic epoxides to produce enantiopure epoxides and vicinal diols. It is necessary to obtain sufficient stable epoxide hydrolases with high enantioselectivity to meet the requirements of i...

In this study the bacterial growth inhibitory activity of peptide fragments produced from goat’s milk whey proteins by enzymatic hydrolysis using trypsin, ficin and a combination of both was investigated. Goat’s milk whey proteins were isolated and subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis and peptides were purified by ultrafiltration followed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP...

BACKGROUND Enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated lignocellulosic biomass is an essential process for the production of fermentable sugars for industrial use. A better understanding of fungal cellulase systems will provide clues for maximizing the hydrolysis of target biomass. Talaromyces cellulolyticus is a promising fungus for cellulase production and efficient biomass hydrolysis. Several cellulo...

Present paper examines the effect of acid type and hydrolysis conditions on morphology, size, yield and crystallinity of produced cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). Cellulose obtained from waste office paper was hydrolyzed under the same conditions by Maleic acid (MA) and Sulfuric Acid (SA) in separate treatments.  Also this cellulose was hydrolyzed under different timing and temperature by MA and SA...

A rapid microwave-assisted hydrolysis (MAH) method is presented for the sample pretreatment of the determination of ginkgo flavonol glycosides in extracts of Ginkgo biloba L. (EGb). By this method, flavonol glycosides can be completely hydrolyzed within 2 min. After investigating the effects of solvents, acidity, microwave power, and microwave radiation time on hydrolysis, the optimal hydrolysi...
