Xylans from hemicelluloses can be depolymerized into xylose for the bioproduction of xylitol. Xylitol is used as a sweetening agent, and it can be an important platform for sustainable bioproducts. A key point in xylitol ...

Statistics is a fundamental tool in the analysis of any process data where there is variability. There are many ways to approach the problem of optimization and design of a process, which can be handled quickly using a ...

The aqueous-phase reforming of xylitol to produce bio-hydrogen was studied on Pt/Al2O3 catalysts containing 0.30, 0.57, 1.50 and 2.77%wt Pt by varying the weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) between 0.6 and 2.4 h−1. At a ...

A yeast that produces a high concentration of xylitol was isolated and identified as Candida guilliermondii-IB. We studied the effect of concentration of NH4(SO4)2 (0.5; 1.0; 2.0; 3.0; 4.0 and 5.0 g/l); pH (3.0; 4.0; ...

Since 1970, xylitol has been used in foods, pharmaceuticals, and health products such as gum, dental paste, and toothpaste. At the industrial level, xylitol is produced by chemical processes (catalytic xylose hydrogenation), ...

The effect of the platinum loading on the production of hydrogen by aqueous-phase reforming of ethylene glycol, glycerol, xylitol and sorbitol was studied on Pt/Al2O3 catalysts containing 0.30, 0.57, 1.50 and 2.77 Pt%. ...

Lignocellulosic biomass, fruit, and vegetable waste are nowadays being a potential feedstock for biofuels production and compounds with high added-value with applications in food, energy, and materials industries in terms ...

With the increasing worldwide concern on the environmental impacts of the intensive use of oil derivatives, renewed and continuous efforts have been made to develop alternative technologies for the use of renewable resources ...
