Hybrid organic–inorganic anatase (hybrid-TiO2) is prepared by a facile hydrothermal synthesis method employing citric acid. The synthetic approach results in a high surface-area nanocrystalline anatase polymorph of TiO2. The uncalcin

In this work, we found that inulin is soluble in ionic liquids (ILs) choline chloride (ChoCl)/oxalic acid and ChoCl/citric acid, which are prepared entirely from cheap and renewable materials. On the basis of this discovery, we conducted the one pot react

Cellulose and inulin, two important biomasses, can be transformed to polyols using bifunctional catalysts combining acid sites for hydrolysis and metal nanoparticles for hydrogenation. Here, we report that Ru nanoparticles loaded on a Keggin-type polyoxometalate, i.e., Cs3PW12O40, without intrinsic Bronsted acidity exhibit superior catalytic performances for the transformation of inulin and cellulose into hexitols in water in the presence of H2. We demonstrated that new Bronsted acid sites were generated from H2 on the Ru/Cs3PW12O40 catalyst. The H2-originated reversible Bronsted acid sites were robust during the transformation of biomass under hydrothermal conditions. We further found that the mean size of Ru nanoparticles determined the product selectivity in the conversion of inulin under H2. The catalyst with larger Ru nanoparticles favoured the formation of fructose, the hydrolysis product, while the major products were hexitols over the catalyst with a smaller Ru particle size. We clarified that, as compared to that of inulin hydrolysis, the rate of fructose hydrogenation increased more rapidly upon decreasing the Ru particle size.

The CO2-water system has the potential to serve as a substitute for mineral acids for some reactions in acidic media. In this work, two reactions under hydrothermal conditions with and without CO2 were studied - the conversion of inulin to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), and the hydrolysis of propylene oxide to 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO). The effects of CO2 pressure, reaction temperature and reactant concentration on the yield of 5-HMF and 1,2-PDO were examined. It was demonstrated that CO 2 could increase the yields of 5-HMF and 1,2-PDO considerably under optimized conditions. The methods to prepare 5-HMF and 1,2-PDO are greener, in that conventional acids are not required and the solution is neutralized automatically after depressurization.

1H NMR spectroscopy was used to follow the cleavage of sucrose by invertase. The parameters of the enzyme's kinetics, Km and V max, were directly determined from progress curves at only one concentration of the substrate. For comparison with the classical Michaelis-Menten analysis, the reaction progress was also monitored at various initial concentrations of 3.5 to 41.8 mM. Using the Lambert W function the parameters Km and Vmax were fitted to obtain the experimental progress curve and resulted in Km = 28 mM and V max = 13 μM/s. The result is almost identical to an initial rate analysis that, however, costs much more time and experimental effort. The effect of product inhibition was also investigated. Furthermore, we analyzed a much more complex reaction, the conversion of farnesyl diphosphate into (+)-germacrene D by the enzyme germacrene D synthase, yielding Km = 379 μM and kcat = 0.04 s- 1. The reaction involves an amphiphilic substrate forming micelles and a water insoluble product; using proper controls, the conversion can well be analyzed by the progress curve approach using the Lambert W function.

D-Allulose, a low-calorie rare sugar with potential as sucrose substitute for diabetics, can be produced using D-allulose 3-epimerase (DAE). Here, we characterized a putative thermostable DAE from Pirellula sp. SH-Sr6A (PsDAE), with a half-life of 6 h at 60 °C. Bioconversion of 500 g/L D-fructose using immobilized PsDAE on epoxy support yielded 152.7 g/L D-allulose, which maintained 80% of the initial activity after 11 reuse cycles. A multienzyme cascade system was developed to convert sucrose to D-allulose comprising sucrose invertase, D-glucose isomerase and PsDAE. Fruit juices were treated using this system to convert the high-calorie sugars, such as sucrose, D-glucose, and D-fructose, into D-allulose. The content of D-allulose among total monosaccharides in the treated fruit juice remained between 16 and 19% during 15 reaction cycles. This study provides an efficient strategy for the development of functional fruit juices containing D-allulose for diabetics and other special consumer categories.
Hydrogenation of crude and purified d-glucosone generated by enzymatic oxidation of d-glucose

D-Fructose is an important starting material for producing furfurals and other industrially important chemicals. While the base-catalyzed and enzymatic conversion of d-glucose to d-fructose is well known, the employed methods typically provide limited conversion. d-Glucosone can be obtained from d-glucose by enzymatic oxidation at the C2 position and, subsequently, selectively hydrogenated at C1 to form d-fructose. This work describes an investigation on the hydrogenation of d-glucosone, using both chromatographically purified and crude material obtained directly from the enzymatic oxidation, subjected to filtration and lyophilization only. High selectivities towards d-fructose were observed for both starting materials over a Ru/C catalyst. Hydrogenation of the crude d-glucosone was, however, inhibited by the impurities resulting from the enzymatic oxidation process. Catalyst deactivation was observed in the case of both starting materials.
