Generation of Mannitol from Copra Meal
この論文をさがす
説明
<jats:p>Saccharification of copra meal with hydrochloric acid was found to be suitable method for forming reducing sugars. The presence of protein and lignin in the meal did not have a significant effect on the yield of reducing sugars. Borohydride reduction of the reducing sugars gave sugar alcohols in 44% yield based on the raw material or 81% based on carbohydrate content. The sugar alcohol mixture contained 66% mannitol, 24% sorbitol and 5% galactitol. The recovery of hydrochloric acid which renders the process more economically feasible was done by vacuum distillation.</jats:p>
