    PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE bioresources.com SIMULTANEOUS SEPARATION AND QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF MONOSACCHARIDES, URONIC ACIDS, AND ALDONIC ACIDS BY HIGH PERFORMANCE ANION- EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY COUPLED WITH PULSED AMPEROMETRIC DETECTION IN CORN STOVER PREHYDROLYSATES Xing Wang,a,b Yong Xu,a,b,c,* Li Fan,a,b Qiang Yong,a,b and Shiyuan Yu a,b A method for simultaneous separation and quantitative determination of arabinose, galactose, glucose, xylose, xylonic acid, gluconic acid, galacturonic acid, and glucuronic acid was developed by using high performance anion-exchange chromatography coupled with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD). The separation was performed on a CarboPacTM PA-10 column (250 mm × 2 mm) with a various gradient elution of NaOH-NaOAc solution as the mobile phase. The calibration curves showed good linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9993) for the monosaccharides, uronic acids, and aldonic acids in the range of 0.1 to 12.5 mg/L. The detection limits (LODs) and the quantification limits (LOQs) were 4.91 to 18.75 μg/L and 16.36 to 62.50 μg/L, respectively. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the retention times and peak areas for the seven consecutive determinations of an unknown amount of mixture were 0.15% to 0.44% and 0.22% to 2.31%, respectively. The established method was used to separate and determine four monosaccharides, two uronic acids, and two aldonic acids in the prehydrolysate from dilute acid steam-exploded corn stover within 21 min. The spiked recoveries of monosaccharides, uronic acids, and aldonic acids ranged from 91.25% to 108.81%, with RSDs (n=3) of 0.04% ~ 6.07%.

  • 22 Carbohydrates
    22 Carbohydrates ioorganic compounds are organic compounds found in biological sys- B tems. Bioorganic compounds follow the same principles of structure and reactivity as the organic molecules we have discussed so far. There is great similarity between the organic -D-glucose -D-glucose reactions chemists carry out in the laboratory and those performed by nature inside the living cell. In other words, bioorganic reactions can be thought of as organic reactions that take place in tiny flasks called cells. Most bioorganic compounds have more complicated structures than those of the organic compounds you are used to seeing, but do not let the structures fool you into thinking that their chemistry is equally complicated. One reason the structures of bioorganic compounds are more complicated is that bioorganic compounds must be able to recognize each other, and much of their structure is for that purpose—a func- tion called molecular recognition. The first group of bioorganic compounds we will study are the carbohydrates— the most abundant class of compounds in the biological world, making up more than 50% of the dry weight of the Earth’s biomass. Carbohydrates are important con- stituents of all living organisms and have a variety of different functions. Some are D-glucose important structural components of cells; others act as recognition sites on cell sur- faces. For example, the first event in all our lives was a sperm recognizing a carbohy- drate on the surface of an egg’s wall. Other carbohydrates serve as a major source of metabolic energy. For example, the leaves, fruits, seeds, stems, and roots of plants contain carbohydrates that plants use for their own metabolic needs and that then serve the metabolic needs of the animals that eat the plants.

  • Production of Hexaric Acids from Biomass
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Production of Hexaric Acids from Biomass Riku Sakuta and Nobuhumi Nakamura * Department of Biotechnology and Life Science, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, 2-24-16 Nakacho, Koganei, Tokyo 184-8588, Japan * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 June 2019; Accepted: 24 July 2019; Published: 26 July 2019 Abstract: Sugar acids obtained by aldohexose oxidation of both the terminal aldehyde group and the hydroxy group at the other end to carboxyl groups are called hexaric acids (i.e., six-carbon aldaric acids). Because hexaric acids have four secondary hydroxy groups that are stereochemically diverse and two carboxyl groups, various applications of these acids have been studied. Conventionally, hexaric acids have been produced mainly by nitric acid oxidation of aldohexose, but full-scale commercialization has not been realized; there are many problems regarding yield, safety, environmental burden, etc. In recent years, therefore, improvements in hexaric acid production by nitric acid oxidation have been made, while new production methods, including biocatalytic methods, are actively being studied. In this paper, we summarize these production methods in addition to research on the application of hexaric acids. Keywords: aldaric acids; biorefinery; biofuel cell; bioprocess; biorefinery; carbohydrates; electrochemistry; green chemistry; oxidation; sustainable chemistry 1. Introduction The International Energy Agency defines a biorefinery as “the sustainable processing of biomass into a spectrum of marketable products and energy”, which is the most comprehensive and commonly accepted definition [1]. Because inexpensive petroleum-derived chemicals are already mass produced, the production of bio-based chemicals has been limited to those with structures that are too complex for the fine-chemicals market to justify their expensive production costs [2].

    CARBOHYDRATES PREPARED BY Dr.V. SANGEETHA, Asst Professor & HOD, Department of Chemistry, Kongunadu Arts and Science College, Coimbatore - 29 LECTURE OUTLINE By the end of the lecture, the student should know: The Importance of carbohydrates. The Definition of Carbohydrates. The Classification of Carbohydrates. The Difference between various Isomers.. CARBOHYDRATE: IMPORTANCE Most Abundant Class of Biomolecules. An Important Macronutrient. Performs important physiological functions in the body. Associated with Pathological Conditions (Diabetes Mellitus, Lactose Intolerance). DEFINING CARBOHYDRATES Carbohydrates or Saccharides (Greek Sakcharon meaning "Sugar") Organic compounds composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and oxygen. Many Carbohydrates also contain Nitrogen and other elements. Carbohydrates derive their name from a Misleading Concept 'Hydrates of Carbon’ Hydrogen and Oxygen in Carbohydrates were found to be present in the same proportion as in water. (2:1).(E.g. Glucose C6H12O6 or C6 (H2O)6). It is due to this fact that compounds derived their name “Carbon Hydrate”. GLUCOSE H-C=O H-C-OH OH-C-H H-C-OH H-C-OH CH2OH This term is not a perfect derivation as many carbohydrates do not have the same proportion as water. Example: DEOXYRIBOSE (C5H10O4) H-C=O H-C-H H-C-OH H-C-OH CH2OH CHEMICAL DEFINITION OF CARBOHYDRATES Polyhydroxyl: Having more than one hydroxyl group.

Definition :- Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes such as D-glucose, polyhydroxy ketones such as D-fructose, and compounds such as sucrose that can be hydrolyzed to polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones. Polyhydroxy aldehydes :- Eg :- D-glucose. Structure :- Polyhydroxy Ketones :- Eg :- D-fructose Structure :- © Career Avenues Publication B3 © Career Avenues Publication Classification of Carbohydrates :- 1) Simple carbohydrates :- It constitute monosaccharide (single sugars) and they cannot be broken down into further smaller unit. Eg :- Glucose , fructose. 2) Complex carbohydrates :- It consist of two or more sugar subunits linked together. i) Disaccharides :- Disaccharides have two sugar subunits linked together. Eg :- Maltose ii) Oligosaccharides :- They have three to 10 sugar subunits. Eg :- Raffinose iii) Polysaccharides :- They have more than 10 sugar subunits linked together. They are classified into two categories on the basis of repeating unit . a) Hexans (C6H10O5)n b) Pentosans (C5H8O4)n Eg :- Starch , cellulose.
