Synthesis of 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) by selective 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) hydrogenation is ecofriendly and industrially important since HMF obtained from renewable sources, BHMF a raw material used for production biodegradable polymers. Four copper-based catalysts were prepared incipient wetness impregnation (Cu/SiO2-I, Cu/Al2O3-I), precipitation–deposition (Cu/SiO2-PD) copreci...

Renewable and low-cost lignocellulosic wastes have attractive applications in bioethanol production. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most widely used ethanol-producing microbe; however, its fermentation temperature (30-35°C) is not optimum (40-50°C) for enzymatic hydrolysis in the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process. In this study, we successfully performed an...

The biological detoxification of lignocellulose hydrolysate is an effective method through which to enhance microbial fermentation efficiency. In this study, inhibitor-tolerant strain A. niger (Aspergillus niger) was used for the corncob hydrolysate. results showed that M13 can tolerate a concentration at least 7.50 ± 0.19 g/L acetic acid, 1.81 0.13 furfural, and 1.02 0.10 HMF (5-Hydroxymethylf...

Fructosyl-lysine (determined as furosine), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and furfural are heat-induced chemical markers generated during baking of cereal-based products. Furosine reflects losses the protein quality through lysine impairments, furanic compounds linked to extent thermal processing, but also potential toxicological issues. Eighty biscuits commercialized in Spain were analysed for...

BACKGROUND The process of industrial xylitol production is a massive source of organic pollutants, such as waste xylose mother liquor (WXML), a viscous reddish-brown liquid. Currently, WXML is difficult to reuse due to its miscellaneous low-cost sugars, high content of inhibitors and complex composition. WXML, as an organic pollutant of hemicellulosic hydrolysates, accumulates and has become an...

The aim of this study was to ascertain the anti-arthritic active fraction of Capparis spinosa L. (Capparidaceae) fruits and its chemical constituents. The adjuvant arthritic rat model was developed to evaluate the anti-arthritic effects of different fractions of ethanol extraction from C. spinosa L. The fraction eluted by ethanol-water (50:50, v/v) had the most significant anti-arthritic activi...
