CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 342:140126. [PMID: 37690555 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
Biomass is an abundant and sustainable resource that can be converted into energy and chemicals. Therefore, the development of efficient methods for the conversion of biomass into platform intermediates is crucial. In this study, the one-pot conversion of sugars into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural was achieved using the metal-organic framework combined with metal ions [MIL-101(Cr)] as a high-activity catalyst, and a deep eutectic solvent (choline chloride and lactic acid) as a green solvent. The optimal temperature, time, amount of catalyst used, and amount of deep eutectic solvent used were all determined. The highest HMF yield of 49.74% and furfural yield of 55.90% were obtained. The recyclability of the catalysts and deep eutectic solvent was also investigated. After three reaction runs, the HMF yield was still nearly 30.00%. Finally, the MIL-101(Cr) catalytic system was selected to study the kinetic mechanism underlying the conversion of glucose into HMF.

[PMID: 37174415 PMCID: PMC10178046 DOI: 10.3390/foods12091877] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Sustainability, low toxicity, and high solute potential are the fundamental reasons for focusing green chemistry on natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES). The application of NADES ranges from organic chemistry to the agricultural sector and the food industry. In the food industry, the desired food quality can be achieved by the extraction of small molecules, macromolecules, and even heavy metals. The compound yield in Maillard-type model reactions can also be increased using NADES. To extend the so-called "kitchen-type chemistry" field, an inert, food-grade NADES system based on sucrose/D-sorbitol was developed, characterized, and examined for its ability as a reaction medium by evaluating its temperature and pH stability. Reaction boundary conditions were determined at 100 °C for three hours with a pH range of 3.7-9.0. As proof of principle, two Maillard-type model reactions were implemented to generate the taste-modulating compounds N2-(1-carboxyethyl)guanosine 5'-monophosphate) (161.8 µmol/mmol) and N2-(furfuryl thiomethyl)guanosine 5'-monophosphate (95.7 µmol/g). Since the yields of both compounds are higher than their respective taste-modulating thresholds, the newly developed NADES is well-suited for these types of "kitchen-type chemistry" and, therefore, a potential solvent candidate for a wide range of applications in the food industry.

Abstract
In this study, a novel ternary deep eutectic solvents (DES) consisting of choline chloride/PEG/hydroxyethyl sulfonic acid (HSA) was developed to effectively improve glucose yield and concentration of sugarcane bagasse, and the conditions of the pretreatment were optimized by response surface method (RSM). Under the optimal conditions, the maximum glucose concentration (GC) could reach 12.39 g/L (HSA concentration 1.34 %, PEG400, 2.3 h, 150 °C), and the maximum glucose yield (GY) was 0.2497 g/g (HSA concentration 1.41 %, PEG400, 2.1 h, 150 °C). Hemicellulose was completely removed, and the maximum lignin removal rate was 86.89 %. After pretreatment, 95 % of the pretreated liquid can be recycled. Finally, the structural and morphological changes of bagasse before and after pretreatment were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform infrared analyzer (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Abstract
Furfural is a vital biomass-derived platform molecule, which can be used to synthesize a wide range of value-added chemicals. Furfural and its derivatives are promising alternatives to conventional petroleum chemicals. However, recent industrial production of furfural existed some thorny problems, including low efficiency, energy waste, and environmental pollution. Therefore, tremendous and continuous efforts have been made by researchers to develop novel furfural production processes with high economic viability, production efficiency, and sustainability. This review summarized the merits and shortcomings of disparate catalytic systems for the synthesis of furfural from biomass and biomass pretreatment hydrolysate on the basis of recently published literature. Furthermore, the suggestions for furfural production research were put forward.

Abstract
Lignocellulose is recognized as an ideal raw material for biorefinery as it may be converted into biofuels and value-added products through a series of chemical routes. Furfural, a bio-based platform chemical generated from lignocellulosic biomass, has been identified as a very versatile alternative to fossil fuels. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are new “green” solvents, which have been employed as green and cheap alternatives to traditional organic solvents and ionic liquids (ILs), with the advantages of low cost, low toxicity, and biodegradability, and also have been proven to be effective media for the synthesis of biomass-derived chemicals. This review summarizes the recent advances in the conversion of carbohydrates to furfural in DES solvent systems, which mainly focus on the effect of adding different catalysts to the DES system, including metal halides, water, solid acid catalyst, and certain oxides, on the production of furfural. Moreover, the challenges and perspectives of DES-assisted furfural synthesis in biorefinery systems are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Continuous Flow Microreactors and Green Chemistry are areas with promising applications, especially when allied. In this scenario, the main goal of this study was to develop new strategies for the synthesis of bio-based compounds under a flow regime. We worked towards the flow synthesis of furfuryl alcohol and DHMF (dihydroxymethylfuran), from their respective aldehydes, through a Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reaction with iso-propanol catalysed by basic zirconium carbonate. Furfuryl alcohol was prepared in essentially quantitative yield with productivities as high as 67 mg min−1. Efforts towards DHMF synthesis were performed and the process was also optimized using design of experiments. The optimal conditions were defined for DHMF at 0.25 M and were determined to be 120 °C and 50 s of residence time, giving yields of up to 99% and productivity of 50 mg min−1. The use of a FT-IR device for the in-line continuous monitoring was pivotal for the fast optimization of the processes, securing steady-state operations, and design of experiments ensured a greater understanding of the effect of temperature, residence time and concentration, alongside their interactions in yield, selectivity and productivity. Reduction of furfural and HMF in a continuous flow regime mediated by basic zirconium carbonate using 2-propanol as a solvent and reducing agent towards the synthesis of platform chemicals is presented.![]()
