In the present work a process of catalytic wet air oxidation of lignin obtained from sugar-cane bagasse is developed with the objective of producing vanillin, syringaldehyde and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde in a continuous regime. Palladium supported on -alumina was used as the catalyst. The reactions in the lignin degradation and aldehyde production were described by a kinetic model as a system of co...

BACKGROUND Lignocellulosic substrates and pulping process streams are of increasing relevance to biorefineries for second generation biofuels and biochemical production. They are known to be rich in sugars and inhibitors such as phenolic compounds, organic acids and furaldehydes. Phenolic compounds are a group of aromatic compounds known to be inhibitory to fermentative organisms. It is known t...

Wickerhamomyces anomalus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were mixed by co-inoculation or sequential inocula-tion, the physicochemical properties, electronic sensory characteristics, aromatic characteristics of longan (Dimocarpus Lour.) wine evaluated to analyze effects fermentation on quality. The results demonstrate that obtained inoculation decreases alcohol content wine. Furthermore, also leads...

the ionic liquid li(ohch2ch2nh2)(cf3oac) was found to efficiently catalyze the three-component reaction between different enols, aldehydes, and malononitrile , leading to rapid synthesis of 2-amino-4h-chromene derivatives in fairly high yields. the catalyst is easily prepared, highly stable, simple to handle and recycled for several times without significant loss of activity. the method is simp...

synthesis of 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenylmethyl-3-[4-(2-substitutedphenyl-4-oxo-thiazolidinyl)aryl]-6-bromo quinazolin-4(3h)ones via-j have been achieved from the starting material 2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino] phenylacetic acid i to benzoxazine iii, further reaction with p-phenylindiamine and substituted aromatic aldehyde gave 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-(4-aminoary...

Pseudomonas sp. MX-058 produces aldehyde oxidase catalysing glyoxal to glyoxylic acid. Two aldehyde oxidases (F10 and F13) were purified to homogeneity from Pseudomonas sp. MX-058. F10 and F13 had subunit structures, a heterotetramer and heteropentamer respectively. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of all subunits were highly homologous to amino acid sequences of the putative oxidoreductases...

Horse liver aldehyde: NAD oxidoreductase (EC 1.2.1.3) has been purified to homogeneity by a procedure consisting of salt fractionation, ion exchange chromatography, and isoelectric focusing. The purif?ed material has a turnover number of 1.85 pmoles of NADH per min per mg of protein when assayed at pH 9.0 with propionaldehyde as substrate. Values obtained for the molecular weight of the native ...

The unique aroma of melons (Cucumis melo L., Cucurbitaceae) is composed of many volatile compounds biosynthetically derived from fatty acids, carotenoids, amino acids, and terpenes. Although amino acids are known precursors of aroma compounds in the plant kingdom, the initial steps in the catabolism of amino acids into aroma volatiles have received little attention. Incubation of melon fruit cu...
