    The Jew's-ear protein extraction by ultrasonic method was studied. High power ultrasonic was used to disrupt cell to increase extraction yied of Jew's-ear protein. The main influence factors on protein yield were explored by single factor test and orthogonal test. The optimal extraction conditions were 25 min of irradiation time,1:50 of solid-liquid ratio,3 times of irradiation. The extraction yield of protein was 2.60%. Comparing with traditional technique, the extraction time decreased dramatically and extraction yield increased markedly.

    Abstract ( 760 )   PDF (484KB) ( 1032 )   Save
    After hot grinding pretreatment of corn stalks, the hydrolysate of corn stalks by dilute sulfuric acid was prepared. The result shows that the concentration of reducing sugar in dilute acid hydrolysate from pretreated corn stalks was about 4%-5.5%. The yield of reducing sugar was up to 60%-75%, which is 50% higher than that from corn stalks un-pretreated.

    Abstract ( 812 )   PDF (1023KB) ( 1165 )   Save
    Five typical waste biomass materials were used for the research on technology of the carbonization. The preparation methods of biomass charcoal materials were summarized. The particle distribution, loose density, tap density and functional groups of charcoal powder were determined. The result shows that the yield of the carbonization decreases when the temperature rises; the distribution of particles of the five biomass materials is between 0.11-85 μm, and mainly between 10-20 μm; there are big differences between loose density and tap density of the five biomass charcoal powders, and for the same one the ratio of tap density to loose density is about 2; the change of functional groups of the five biomass materials after the carbonization is that the ether(C—O—C), carbonyl(C=O), methyl(—CH3) and methylene(—CH2) groups disappear, but the hydroxyl(—OH), alkene(C=C) and aromatic compounds still exist.

    JIE Shu-jun;ZHANG Qiu-hui;LI Jian-zhang
    2007, 41 (5):  9-12. 
    Abstract ( 647 )   PDF (717KB) ( 1095 )   Save
    In this study, we aimed to synthesize resol phenol-formaldehyde resin from the liquefied Chinese Fir(Cunninghamia lanceolata) wood in phenol with different ratio of wood to phenol in presence of sulfuric acid as catalyst. The effects of ratio of formaldehyde to phenol (rF/P), ratio of NaOH to phenol (rNaOH/P) and resinification temperature on chemical properties of liquefied wood resins (LWR) were investigated. The resol phenol-formaldehyde adhesive could be prepared from liquefied wood (wood:phenol=1:2) in phenol at rF/P 1.8, rNaOH/P 0.7 and resinification temperature 80℃.The physical properties of the poplar three-layer plywood bonded with LWR were similar to those with normal PF resins and also satisfied the demands of I level. Free formaldehyde content of plywood (0.1 mg/L) was lower than the E0 level set by GB/T 9846-2004 Plywood.

    Study on Acid Hydrolysis of Wheat Straw and Fermentation of Xylose in Hydrolysate to Xylitol
    WU Zhen;LIN Lu;PANG Chun-sheng;SUN Yong;PENG Hong;LI Jia-zhe
    2007, 41 (5):  13-17. 
    Abstract ( 791 )   PDF (980KB) ( 1013 )   Save
    Hemicellulose could be hydrolyzed adequately when wheat straw was retained in the system of formic acid/hydrochloric acid for 0.5 h under 65℃. Straw hydrolysate was fermented by Candida tropicalis to produce xylitol. The effects of different concentration of formic acid and formate on the fermentation of D-xylose were studied. D-xylose could be fermented to produce xylitol availably with a concentration of 2 g/L formic acid or 5 g/L formate. A high concentration of formic acid or formate restrained the fermentation of D-xylose. Straw formic acid hydrolysate could be fermented to produce xylitol after the formate was removed by ion exchange resins of D311. All xylose was consumed within 72 h with a xylitol yield of 16.88%(xylitol/xylose).

    Abstract ( 572 )   PDF (455KB) ( 1030 )   Save
    The chemical components of Pinus elliottii Engelm. oleoresin from Brazil were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS). Twenty-seven compounds were separated and identified, which represent over 93% of the total contents of the oleoresin. These main compounds were monoterpinenes and diterpinenes, as well as trace sesquiterpinenes. As compared with oleoresin of P. elliottii from Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province in China, the chemical components and contents of these oleoresins were nearly the same. That means the same pine species dispersed in the different areas has the similar chemical characteristics of the oleoresins.

There was remarkably different antibacterial activity of extracts of absolute alcohol and ethyl acetate in comparison with water extract (p<0.05). There was the best remarkable antibacterial effect of alcohol extracts with 0.25 g/mL crude drug (p<0.01),and the best antibacterial concentration of crude drug was 0.5 g/mL, The pH value had strong influence on antibacterial effect of extracts from T. asiatica, and the suitable pH values for inhibition of the three bacteria were different.

    Biomass is the sole renewable carbon resource that can be transferred into gas, liquid and solid fuels as well as other chemicals. As the fossil energy will be exhaustive, humans pay more attention to the problems of global environment. Many scholars and researchers in the world have been focusing on the research and development of biomass energy to substitute for fossil energy. The clean and high quality gas, liquid or solid fuels converted from renewable biomass resource by different ways were described in the course series. Preparation of bio-oil made by high-pressure liquefaction and fast pyrolysis was introduced in this paper, including research status, technics and equipments. Based on the summarization of characteristics of bio-oil derived from pyrolysis of biomass, research status on up-grading process of the bio-oil was reviewed, too, including physical up-grading technologies (dehydration, adding solvent, and emulsification) and chemical up-grading technologies (hydrogenation, catalytic pyrolysis, catalytic esterification, steaming reforming). The mechanism, advantages and disadvantages of these up-grading methods were analyzed. It was pointed out that the bio-oil from pyrolysis of biomass will substitute gasoline and diesel oil with the development of preparation and up-grading technology, which will be taken more and more attention.

    Crystallization Kinetics of Xylitol Based on the Broth Model
    MEI Yu-xia;FANG Bai-shan
    2007, 41 (5):  1-4. 
    Abstract ( 558 )   PDF (817KB) ( 960 )   Save
    According to xylitol fermentation, the broth mfodel of xylitol was prepared. The effects of impurities, temperature, supersaturation, crystal seed amount and size on xylitol crystal growth rate were discussed. It was indicated that xylitol crystal growth rate was proportional to temperature and supersaturation. However, impurities such as sorbitol and adonitol restricted xylitol crystal growth rate, and crystal seed size and amount had no effect on it. The kinetics equation of xylitol crystal growth was established on power-law-equation and Arrhenius-type equation. By the way, the values of activation energy for xylitol crystal growth were calculated. It seemed to indicate that surface integration and speed control might be both significant mechanism in the process of xylitol crystal growth.
