Cassava starch hydrolysis using poly(4‐vinylpyridine) hydrochloride gave 82% yield of edible glucose at 95 °C with only 2% of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural as an easy to separate by‐product. Poly(4‐vinylpyridine) can be recovered and regenerated by water wash. The process doesn’t need prior treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
