The production of oligosaccharides (OS) by olive tree pruning autohydrolysis in the range 170–230 °C was studied. The best results in terms of maximum yield of OS along with a low amount of byproducts were obtained at 180 °C. After purification by preparative gel filtration chromatography a range of OS-fractions with average degree of polymerisation (DP) from 25 to 3 was selected for further characterisation. G...
Sugarcane bagasse pretreated with dilute-acid was submitted to an organosolv ethanol process with NaOH under different operational conditions (pretreatment time, temperature, and ethanol concentration) aiming to maximize the glucose yield in the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis stage. The different pretreatment conditions resulted in variations in the chemical composition of the solid residue as well as in the g...
