THE chemical evidence for the view that cellobiose is preformed in cellulose is considerably strengthened by some observations we have made on the acetolysis of trimethyl cellulose. Under mild ...

Researchers have developed a new process that uses microwave flow reaction and recyclable solid catalysts to efficiently hydrolyze polysaccharides into simple sugars. The developed device utilizes a ...

The biofuel industry stands to benefit from the development of a new variety of yeast which produces ethanol from plant products more efficiently. Engineered by combining two existing yeast species, ...

14°→35° (Wasser). C. ist aus zwei β-1→4-glycosidisch verbundenen Molekülen D-Glucose aufgebaut. Es wird weder von Hefe vergoren, noch von Maltase gespalten. C. liegt als Disaccharideinheit den ...

Tracking individual enzymes during the breakdown of cellulose for biofuel production has revealed how several roadblocks slow this process when using plant material that might otherwise go to waste.

Cellobiose, ein Disaccharid, das aus zwei β-1,4-glykosidisch verbundenen Glucose-Einheiten besteht. C. ist der Baustein von Cellulose und bildet sich als deren erstes Abbauprodukt. In freier Form ...

A simple diagram of the chemical process in the device developed by the research team. In their system, a solution of the disaccharide cellobiose (left) is passed through a sulfonated carbon catalyst ...
