    Abstract:
    Hemicellulose hydrolyzate contains many carbohydrate fractions, the most abundant being xylose, arabinose, and glucuronic acid. Under mild acid conditions (0.025 - 0.10 M sulfuric acid) and high temperatures (140°C to 200°C) the first two components form furfural through a series of dehydration reactions. Unlike xylose and arabinose, glucuronic acid must...
