Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129063. [PMID: 38159710 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.129063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
In order to better utilize chitinolytic enzymes to produce high-value N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) from chitinous waste, there is an urgent need to explore bi-functional chitinases with exceptional properties of temperature, pH and metal tolerance. In this study, we cloned and characterized a novel bi-functional cold-adaptive chitinase called CaChi18A from a newly isolated strain, Chitinilyticum aquatile CSC-1, in Bama longevity village of Guangxi Province, China. The activity of CaChi18A at 50 °C was 4.07 U/mg. However, it exhibited significant catalytic activity even at 5 °C. Its truncated variant CaChi18A_ΔChBDs, containing only catalytic domain, demonstrated significant activity levels, exceeding 40 %, over a temperature range of 5-60 °C and a pH range of 3 to 10. It was noteworthy that it displayed tolerance towards most metal ions at a final concentration of 0.1 mM, including Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions, retaining 122.52 ± 0.17 % and 116.42 ± 1.52 % activity, respectively. Additionally, it exhibited favorable tolerance towards organic solvents with the exception of formic acid. Interestedly, CaChi18A and CaChi18A_ΔChBDs had a low Km value towards colloidal chitin (CC), 0.94 mg mL-1 and 2.13 mg mL-1, respectively. Both enzymes exhibited chitobiosidase and N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase activities, producing GlcNAc as the primary product when hydrolyzing CC. The high activities across a broader temperature and pH range, strong environmental adaptability, and hydrolytic properties of CaChi18A_ΔChBDs suggested that it could be a promising candidate for GlcNAc production.

Abstract
Chitin biomass is the second largest biomass resource on Earth but under-utilized. In this study, pretreated shrimp shells were converted into value-added platform chemical 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) using microwave hydrothermal treatment. Under the combined pretreatment of acid decalcification at room temperature and microwave-assisted alkali deacetylation, the HMF yield could reach 1.8 wt%. The key process parameters, including the holding temperature, holding time, and pH value, were evaluated and optimised. The highest HMF yield of 6.5 wt% was obtained at 202.6°C at a holding time of 5.8 min and a pH value of 1.5. This result demonstrates the potential of synchronously treating waste and recycling it, thereby offering a highly promising valorisation strategy for chitin-biomass utilisation.

Abstract
The biomass-derived platform compound 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has been hailed as the "Sleeping Giant" due to its promising applications, and it occupies a critical spot in the biomass upgrading roadmap. HMF is typically produced from cellulose and its monosaccharides via a complex tandem conversion with multiple steps (i. e., cellulose depolymerization, glucose isomerization, fructose dehydration, etc.). Previous investigations have confirmed the irreplaceable contribution of solvents in regulating the tandem conversion of cellulose and its monosaccharides to HMF. However, the potential effects of solvents in contributing to this multi-step tandem process have not yet been clearly elucidated. In this context, this Review aims to provide in-depth insights into the intrinsic interactions between solvent system and substrate conversion (cellulose and its monosaccharides conversion), reaction regulation (reaction activity and selectivity regulation), as well as product acquisition (humins formation inhibition and product purification). It attempts to elucidate specific solvent effects to promote a more efficient tandem conversion of cellulose and its monosaccharides towards HMF. The insights provided in this Review may contribute to a more sustainable HMF production from biomass feedstocks and a further development of greener solvent systems.

Abstract
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) represents a well-known class of lignocellulosic biomass-derived platform molecules. With the presence of many reactive functional groups in the structure, this versatile building block could be valorized into many value-added products. Among well-established catalytic transformations in biorefinery, the reductive amination is of particular interest to provide valuable N-containing compounds. Specifically, the reductive amination of 5-HMF with ammonia (NH3 ) and molecular hydrogen (H2 ) offers a straightforward and sustainable access to primary furanic amines [i. e., 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfuryl amine (HMFA) and 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan (BAMF)], which display far-reaching utilities in pharmaceutical, chemical, and polymer industries. In the presence of heterogeneous catalysts contanining monometals (Ni, Co, Ru, Pd, Pt, and Rh) or bimetals (Ni-Cu and Ni-Mn), this elegant pathway enables a high-yielding and chemoselective production of HMFA/BAMF compared to other synthetic routes. This Review aims to present an up-to-date highlight on the supported metal-catalyzed reductive amination of 5-HMF with elaborate studies on the role of metal, solid support, and reaction parameters. Besides, the recyclability/adaptability of catalysts as well as the reaction mechanism are also provided to give valuable insights into this potential 5-HMF valorization strategy.

Abstract
Chitin and its derivate chitosan have versatile properties and have been used in various applications. One key parameter determining the functionality of chitin-based materials is the degree of acetylation (DA). For DA determination, NMR and FTIR spectroscopy are often considered to be the gold standard, but these techniques may not always be available and are rather time-consuming and costly. The first derivative UV method has been suggested, although accurate measurements can be challenging for materials with high degrees of acetylation, due to hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) formation and other side reactions occurring. In this paper, we re-evaluated the first derivate UV method for chitin and chitosan powder, chitin nanocrystals, and deacetylated chitin nanocrystals. Our results showed that the first derivative UV method is capable of measuring DA with high accuracy (>0.9), leading to values comparable to those obtained by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and FTIR. Moreover, by-product formation could either be suppressed by selecting the proper experimental conditions, or be compensated. For chitin nanocrystals, DA calculation deviations up to 20% due to by-product formation can be avoided with the correction that we propose. We conclude that the first derivative UV method is an accessible method for DA quantification, provided that sample solubility is warranted.

Abstract
Energy is indispensable in human life and social development, but this has led to an overconsumption of non-renewable energy. Sustainable energy is needed to maintain the global energy balance. Lignocellulose from agriculture or forestry is often discarded or directly incinerated. It is abundantly available to be discovered and studied as a biomass energy source. Therefore, this research uses Staphylea holocarpa wood as feedstock to evaluate its potential as energy source. We characterized Staphylea holocarpa wood by utilizing FT-IR, GC-MS, TGA, Py/GC-MS and NMR. The results showed that Staphylea holocarpa wood contained a large amount of oxygenated volatiles, indicating that it has the ability to act as biomass energy sources which can achieve green chemistry and sustainable development.

Abstract
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), one of the most important platform molecules in biorefinery, can be directly obtained from a vast diversity of biomass materials. Owing to the reactive functional groups (-CHO and -CH2 OH) in the structure, this versatile building block undertakes several transformations to provide a wealth of high value-added products. Among numerous well-established paradigms, the catalytic hydrogenation of 5-HMF towards 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran (BHMTHF) is of great interest because this downstream diol can be exploited in a wide range of industrial applications. Not surprisingly, incessant endeavors from both academia and industry to upgrade this catalytic process have been established over the years. The main aim of this Review was to provide a comprehensive overview on the development of heterogeneous metal catalysts for the 5-HMF-to-BHMTHF transformation. Herein, the rational design and utility of hydrogenating catalysts were elaborated in many aspects including metal types (Ni, Co, Pd, Ru, Pt, and bimetals), solid supports, preparation method, recyclability, operating conditions, and reaction regime (batch and continuous flow). In addition, the assessment of cooperative catalysts to convert carbohydrates into BHMTHF under one-pot cascade, tentative mechanism, as well as prospects and challenges for the chemo-selective hydrogenation of 5-HMF were also highlighted.

Abstract
Chitosanase was widely used in the production of bioactive chitooligosacchride (CHOS) due to their safety, controllability, environmental protection, and biodegradability. Studies showed that the bioactivity of CHOS is closely related to its degree of polymerization. Therefore, the production of ideal polymerized CHOS becomes our primary goal. In this study, the glycosyl hydrolase (GH) family 5 chitosanase was successfully expressed heterologously in Pichia pastoris. After 96h of high-density fermentation, the chitosanase activity reached 90.62 U·mL-1, the protein content reached 9.76mg·mL-1. When 2% chitosan was hydrolyzed by crude enzyme (20U/mL), the hydrolysis rate reached 91.2% after 8h, producing a mixture of CHOS with 2-4 desirable degrees of polymerization (DP). Then, the antioxidant activity of CHOS mixture was investigated, and the results showed that the antioxidant effect was concentration-dependent and had great application potential in the field of nutrition.

Abstract
A novel multifunctional chitinase (CmChi3)-encoding gene was cloned from Chitinolyticbacter meiyuanensis and actively expressed in Escherichia coli. Sequence analysis showed that CmChi3 contains two glycoside hydrolase family 18 (GH18) catalytic domains and exhibited low identity with well-characterized chitinases. The optimum pH and temperature of purified recombinant CmChi3 were 6.0 and 50°C, respectively. CmChi3 exhibited strict substrate specificity of 4.1 U/mg toward colloidal chitin (CC) and hydrolyzed it to yield N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) as the sole end product. An analysis of the hydrolysis products toward N-acetyl chitooligosaccharides (N-acetyl COSs) and CC substrates revealed that CmChi3 exhibits endochitinase, N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (NAGase), and transglycosylase (TGase) activities. Further studies revealed that the N-terminal catalytic domain of CmChi3 exhibited endo-acting and NAGase activities, while the C-terminal catalytic domain showed exo-acting and TGase activities. The hydrolytic properties and favorable environmental adaptations indicate that CmChi3 holds potential for commercial GlcNAc production from chitin.

Abstract
In this work, the feasibility of replacing petroleum-based poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with fully bio-based copolyesters derived from dimethyl 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylate (DMTD), dimethyl 2,5-dimethoxyterephthalate (DMDMT), and polysaccharide-derived 1,6-hexanediol (HDO) was investigated. A systematic study of structure-property relationship revealed that the properties of these poly(thiophene-aromatic) copolyesters (PHS(20-90)) can be tailored by varying the ratio of diester monomers in the reaction, whereby an increase in DMTD content noticeably shortened the reaction time in the transesterification step due to its higher reactivity as compared with DMDMT. The copolyesters had weight-average molar masses (Mw) between 27,500 and 38,800 g/mol, and dispersity Đ of 2.0-2.5. The different polarity and stability of heterocyclic DMTD provided an efficient mean to tailor the crystallization ability of the copolyesters, which in turn affected the thermal and mechanical performance. The glass transition temperature (Tg) could be tuned from 70-100 °C, while the tensile strength was in a range of 23-80 MPa. The obtained results confirmed that the co-monomers were successfully inserted into the copolyester chains. As compared with commercial poly(ethylene terephthalate), the copolyesters displayed not only enhanced susceptibility to hydrolysis, but also appreciable biodegradability by lipases, with weight losses of up to 16% by weight after 28 weeks of incubation.

Microwave-assisted catalytic conversion of chitin to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural using polyoxometalate as catalyst. RSC Adv 2021; 12:406-412. [PMID: 35424526 PMCID: PMC8978961 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra08560c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 12/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The key challenges for converting chitin to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) include the low 5-HMF yield. Moreover, the disadvantages of traditional acid–base catalysts including complex post-treatment processes, the production of by-products, and severe equipment corrosion also largely limit the large-scale conversion of chitin to 5-HMF. In this view, herein we have demonstrated a microwave aided efficient and green conversion of chitin to 5-HMF while using polyoxometalate (POM) as a catalyst and DMSO/water as solvent. Chitin treated with H2SO4 followed by ball-milling (chitin-H2SO4-BM) was selected as the starting compound for the conversion process. Four different POMs including H3[PW12O40], H3[PMo12O40], H4[SiW12O40] and H4[SiMo12O40] were used as catalysts. Various reaction parameters including reaction temperature, amount of catalyst, mass ratios of water/DMSO and reaction time have been investigated to optimize the 5-HMF conversion. The H4[SiW12O40] catalyst exhibited the highest catalytic performance with 23.1% HMF yield at optimum operating conditions which is the highest among the literature for converting chitin to 5-HMF. Significantly, the disadvantages of the state of the art conversion routes described earlier can be overcome using POM-based catalysts, which makes the process more attractive to meet the ever-increasing energy demands, in addition to helping consume crustacean waste. We have demonstrated an efficient conversion of chitin to 5-HMF using a microwave aided method while using polyoxometalate (POM) as catalyst and DMSO/water as solvent.![]()

[PMID: 34167004 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.130393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Revised: 05/27/2021] [Accepted: 06/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Chitin, one of the most abundant renewable biopolymers on Earth, is commercially available from crustacean wastes. One critical step in converting chitin to high-value products is its degradation by chitinolytic enzymes to N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc), which plays a significant role in functional food and pharmaceutical industries. Here, we cloned and biochemically characterized two novel β-N-acetylglucosaminidases named SvNag2557 (family-84) and SvNag4755 (family-3) from Streptomyces violascens ATCC 27968. Both SvNag2557 and SvNag4755 exhibited strict substrate specificity toward N-acetyl chitooligosaccharides with GlcNAc as the sole product. Thus, a one-pot production for pure GlcNAc from chitin by an enzyme cocktail reaction was further developed. Under the co-action of an endo-type chitinase SaChiA4 and SvNag2557 (mass ratio 1:2), the final conversion rates of colloidal chitin and ionic liquid pretreated chitin to GlcNAc were 80.2% and 73.8% with GlcNAc purities of 99.7% and 96.8%, respectively.

Abstract
Solid acid catalysts occupy a special class in heterogeneous catalysis for their efficiency in eco-friendly conversion of biomass into demanding chemicals. We synthesized porphyrin containing porous organic polymers (PorPOPs) using colloidal silica as a support. Post-modification with chlorosulfonic acid enabled sulfonic acid functionalization, and the resulting material (PorPOPS) showed excellent activity and durability for the conversion of fructose to 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) in green solvent water. PorPOPS composite was characterized by N2 sorption, FTIR, TGA, CHNS, FESEM, TEM and XPS techniques, justifying the successful synthesis of organic networks and the grafting of sulfonic acid sites (5 wt%). Furthermore, a high surface area (260 m2/g) and the presence of distinct mesopores of ~15 nm were distinctly different from the porphyrin containing sulfonated porous organic polymer (FePOP-1S). Surprisingly the hybrid PorPOPS showed an excellent yield of HMF (85%) and high selectivity (>90%) in water as compared to microporous pristine-FePOP-1S (yield of HMF = 35%). This research demonstrates the requirement of organic modification on silica surfaces to tailor the activity and selectivity of the catalysts. We foresee that this research may inspire further applications of biomass conversion in water in future environmental research.

Abstract
The development of a simple and durable catalytic system for the production of chemicals from a high concentration of a substrate is important for biomass conversion. In this manuscript, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was converted to 1-hydroxy-2,5-hexanedione (HHD) using the combination of commercial Pd/C and acetic acid (AcOH) in water. The influence of temperature, H2 pressure, reaction time, catalyst amount and the concentration of AcOH and HMF on this transformation was investigated. A 68% yield of HHD was able to be obtained from HMF at a 13.6 wt% aqueous solution with a 98% conversion of HMF. The resinification of intermediates on the catalyst was characterized to be the main reason for the deactivation of Pd/C. The reusability of the used Pd/C was studied to find that most of the activity could be recovered by being washed in hot tetrahydrofuran.
