Continuous hydrogenolysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-dimethylfuran is successfully developed and demonstrated using alumina-supported nickel–iron alloy catalysts with in situ observation the structural transformation.

BACKGROUND Yeast transcription factors (TFs) involved in the regulation of multidrug resistance (MDR) were investigated in experiments with deletion mutants, transformants overexpressing synthetic genes encoding TFs, and toxic concentrations of lignocellulose-derived substances added to cultures as complex mixtures or as specific compounds, viz. coniferyl aldehyde, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and ...

A sustainable circular bioeconomy requires the side streams and byproducts of biorefineries to be assimilated into bioprocesses produce value-added products. The present study endeavored utilize such a byproduct generated during synthesis 5-hydroxymethylfurfural as potential feedstock for biogas production. For this purpose, biochemical methane tests full process-wastewater, its components (5-h...

In recent times, selective hydrogenation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) to produce the novel difuranic polyol scaffold 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran (DHMF) has attracted interest...

A detailed kinetic study of hydroxymethylfurfural, lactulose and furosine formation was performed upon heating milk at temperatures between 90 degrees C and 140 degrees C. In case of prolonged heating, formation kinetics could be described by a fractional conversion model. Considering only the first phase of the model, kinetics could be simplified to a pseudo-zero order model. A first assessmen...

Among popular crops, plum (Prunus domestica L.) has received special attention due to its health-promoting properties. The seasonality of this fruit makes it impossible to consume it throughout the year, so new products in a powder form may offer an alternative to fresh consumption and may be used as high-quality natural food ingredients. A 100% plum (cultivar "Valor") juice was mixed with thre...

The related immense versatility of a ceria-promoted transition metal catalyst, utilized for the hydrogenation 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), is demonstrated in this research study.

We report on a rapid, green, and cost-effective fabrication of nickel(-iron) oxyhydroxides by drop-coating reconstructing water-soluble nitrate precursors, their application for the OER oxidation 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF).

The toxic fermentation inhibitors in lignocellulosic hydrolysates pose significant problems for the production of second-generation biofuels and biochemicals. Among these inhibitors, 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) and furfural are specifically notorious. In this study, we describe the complete molecular identification and characterization of the pathway by which Cupriavidus basilensis HMF14 me...
