PROCESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF XYLITOL
-
Page/Page column 25-26, (2008/06/13)
Methods of producing xylitol comprising the oxidative decarboxylation of a reactant substrate are provided herein. The oxidative decarboxylation is performed in one of two ways. In the first, the oxidative decarboxylation is performed by an electrochemical process, preferably an anodic odixative decarboxylation of a reactant substrate. In the second, the oxidative decarboxylation of the reactant substrate is carried out by a series of oxidation-reduction chemical reactions.
