Cellobiose hydrolysis

There are two reasons for the measurable cellobiose concentration in the T. viride cellulase hydrolyzed syrups. The most likely is that T. viride has rather poor / -glucosidase activity so that cellobiose accumulates. Evidence of this is that additions of / -glucosidase to the T. viride cellulase improves its activity. A second reason is that the / -glucosidase enzyme is strongly glucose inhibited. Hence the rate of cellobiose hydrolysis slows down as the glucose concentration rises, allowing cellobiose to accumulate.

Strong acids completely hydrolyse cellulose to glucose very mild hydrolysis gives hydrocelluloses with shorter chains and lower viscosity and tensile strength. Under special conditions a large yield of cellobiose is obtained. 

Maltose obtained by the hydrolysis of starch and cellobiose by the hydrolysis of cellulose are isomenc disaccharides In both maltose and cellobiose two d glucopyra nose units are joined by a glycosidic bond between C 1 of one unit and C 4 of the other The two are diastereomers differing only m the stereochemistry at the anomeric carbon of the glycoside bond maltose is an a glycoside cellobiose is a (3 glycoside...

Cellobiose was prepared first by Skraup and Konig by the saponification of the octaacetate with alcoholic potassium hydroxide, and the method was improved by Pringsheim and Merkatz.3 Aqueous barium hydroxide also has been employed for the purpose, and methyl alcoholic ammonia has been used extensively for the hydrolysis of carbohydrate acetates. The method of catalytic hydrolysis with a small quantity of sodium methylate was introduced by Zemplen,i who considered the action to be due to the addition of the reagent to the ester-carbonyl groups of the sugar acetate and the decomposition of the addition compound by reaction with alcohol. The present procedure, reported by Zemplen, Gerecs, and Hadacsy, is a considerable improvement over the original method (see Note 2). 

Cellobiose (Section 25.14) A disaccharide in which two glucose units are joined by a (3(1,4) linkage. Cellobiose is obtained by the hydrolysis of cellulose. 

The glycosidic bond to an anomeric carbon can be either a or (3. Maltose, the disaccharide obtained by enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of starch, consists of two cv-D-glucopyranose units joined by a 1->4-o-glycoside bond. Cellobiose, the disaccharide obtained by partial hydrolysis of cellulose, consists of two /3-o-glucopyranose units joined by a 1—>4-/3-glycoside bond. 

Freudenberg, Kuhn and their co-workers showed that both the velocity constants and the courses followed by the hydrolyses of these various polymers can be accounted for by postulating that one or the other or both of the terminal linkages, a and h of Table VIII, in these various species hydrolyze more rapidly than the internal c linkages. All of the latter can be assumed to hydrolyze at the same rate. If, for example, one of the two terminal linkages, a or 6, in an x-mer reacts at a rate equal to cellobiose, 1.07 X10, and the rate for each of the other X —2 linkages corresponds to the initial average rate, 0.305 X10, of hydrolysis of the bonds in cellulose then the calculated...

An early report from Shukla et al.129 showed efficient hydrolysis and isomerization reactions of disaccharides, including cellobiose, maltose, and lactose, over zeolites type A, X, and Y. Abbadi et al.130 studied the hydrolysis of maltose, amylose, and starch over the zeolitic materials H-mordenite, H-beta, and mesoporous MCM-41. The effect of temperature and pressure, as well as that of the Si/Al ratio of H-mordenite and H-beta zeolites, on their catalytic activity was investigated for the...

Acid hydrolysis of cellulosic materials that include some hemicellulose, produces D-xylose, D-glucose, and cellobiose, as well as 11, 2-furalde-hyde (5), levulinic acid, formic acid, and acetic acid. In order to lessen the contamination due to hemicellulose, acid hydrolysis is generally performed in two steps dilute sulfuric acid (1%) at 80-120° followed by 5-20% sulfuric acid at 180°. The initial stage removes most of the pentogly-cans (pentosans). 

Hydrolysis of delignified wheat straw up to 90% was obtained in 96 hours with the cellulase system produced in SSF with wheat straw. It took only 72 hours to obtain over 90% hydrolysis of wheat straw with cellulase system produced with SSF on Pro-cell (Table VII). It is interesting to note that the quantity of cellobiose in the hydrolysate obtained with the cellulase system produced on Pro-cell was higher than that of the cellulase system produced on wheat straw. This is consistent with the observation that cellulase system produced on Pro-cell had a lower ratio of FP cellulase )3-glucosidase (1 0.77) as compared to that produced on wheat straw (1 1.2). However, this cellulase system had a faster hydrolysis rate it took only 72 hours to obtain over 90% hydrolysis. This might be related to cotton hydrolyzing activity of this cellulase system (Table V).
