    Allyl ester of maleopimaric acid (MA-BXC) with a purity of 99.2% was prepared by the reaction between maleopimaric acyl chloride and allyl alcohol with the yields near to 70%. The structure and properties of MA-BXC was evaluated by FT-IR spectroscopy, GC-MS, 13C NMR spectroscopy and DSC. The results indicated that MA-BXC was an allyl monomer with anhydride group and can be polymerized while being heated to above the melting point. The glass transition temperature of MA-BXC's homopolymer is about 98℃. These results showed that MA-BXC had a great potential to be used as a precursor of unsaturated resin and epoxy resin.

    Abstract ( 621 )   PDF (967KB) ( 1247 )   Save
    Activated carbon with high adsorption properties were prepared from coconut shell by pyrolysis and activation. The effects of activation temperature and time on adsorption properties of activated carbons were investigated. The results show that under the condition of activation temperature at 900 ℃ for 8 hours with the heating rate 10 ℃/min, the prepared carbon has the iodine adsorption of 1 628.54 mg/g and methylene blue adsorption of 375 mg/g, and the yield is 9.41%. The results of N2 adsorption show that its surface area is 1 723 m2/g, with total pore volume of 0.87 cm3/g, micropore volume of 0.68 cm3/g, mesopore volume of 0.18 cm3/g, and the average pore size of the activated carbon is about 2.03 nm. The properties of the activated carbon from coconut shell by pyrolysis and activation are superior to that of water purification and monosodium glutamate decolorization activated carbon in national standard.

    2012, 46 (3):  9-12. 
    Abstract ( 935 )   PDF (863KB) ( 1237 )   Save
    The aim of this paper was to study the method for the determination of vitamin C and its content changes in different months and parts in Sonchus oleraceus L. The absorbance of extract was scanned at 190-510 nm by the ultraviolet spectrophotometer. The maximum absorption is 267 nm and the content was calculated. Results showed that the content of vitamin C in different parts was flower>leaf>stem>root in April and flower>leaf>root>stem from May to July. Vitamin C content in leaf was higher in April and in flower was higher in May. This method is simple, quick and accurate. The results were useful to the further development and utilization of S.oleraceus L. resources.

    The effect of green liquid pretreated corn stover on cellulase production of Trichoderma reesei was investigated. Inspecting the influence of pretreatment conditions on cellulase production of corn stover at different cooking temperature, total alkali charge and sulfidity by orthogonal experiment, we could conclude from range and variance analysis that the extent of impact to cellucase production of green liquor pretreated corn stover was in turn total alkali charge, cooking temperature and sulfidity. The optimum filter paper activity (FPA) reached 2.6 IU/mL. FPA productions from corn stover pretreated by cooking temperature 140 ℃ and 170 ℃, total alkali charge 4 %, sulfidity 0, 20 %, 30 % and 40 %, were comprehensively compared and evaluated. It was found that the optimum conditions,i.e., cooking temperature 140 ℃, total alkali charge 4 %, sulfidity 0, might ensure the value of FPA on and avoid the loss of materials. The results showed that green liquid pretreatment for corn stover was feasible for cellulase production of Trichoderma reesei. Taking corn stover pretreated by cooking temperature 140 ℃, total alkali charge 4% and sulfidity 0 as carbon sources whose concentration was 12 g/L, FPA and β-glucosidase activity(β-GA) were up to 2.5 IU/mL and 1.3 IU/mL respectively. The enzyme production period was 5 days.

    Research Progress on Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Lignocellulosic Materials into Fermentable Sugars
    SUN Zong-ping;ZHANG Jun-hua
    2012, 46 (3):  39-44. 
    Abstract ( 751 )   PDF (987KB) ( 814 )   Save
    Enzymatic hydrolysis is a key step in the production of bioethanol and other chemicals from lignocellulosic materials. Due to the complex components and inhomogeneous structure of lignocellulosic substrates, completely hydrolysis of lignocellulose carbohydrates into fermentable sugars requires different cellulases and hemicellulases. Relatively low hydrolytic efficiency and the high costs of enzyme are often considered to be the major bottlenecks on the commercialization of lignocellulosic ethanol. Thus, efficient enzymatic hydrolysis is of great importance to improve the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials, lower enzyme dosages, and consequently drop the cost. In this paper, structure of lignocelluloses, cellulases and hemicellulases, factors affecting enzymatic hydrolysis including substrate, product, enzyme properties, and surfactant, have been reviewed. The recent trends and perspectives of future development are highlighted, as well.

    The extraction technologies of oleuropein are summarized in this paper. The extraction time, efficient and energy consumption for each method are discussed. The assembly of ultrasound and low-temperature vacuum is considered as an appropriate method for industrialized production, which is easy to operate with high efficiency and low energy consumption. In addition, we hope that the extraction of natural product could be directly connected with advanced analysis equipment in future, such as HPLC, GC-MS and so on. It not only increases the detecting and analyzing speed greatly, but also controls the quality of product. This will be a trend of development in the future to study the extraction and separation of natural products.
