A short review on catalytic hydrogenation of fructose into mannitol

Abstract

The increase in greenhouse gas emissions caused by increased use of fossil fuels is one of the primary causes of climate change. Catalytic hydrogenation of fructose is seen as an alternative method for addressing this issue, as it converts biomass into useful compounds via the hydrogenation reaction. Unfortunately, catalyst inactivation has restricted its industrial application. The creation of novel catalysts with the potential to raise the hydrogenation reaction's efficiency has thus attracted a lot of attention. Most literature has revealed that Ru‐based and bimetallic Cu–Ni‐based catalysts possess high catalytic activity. The type of metal, the supporting material and the reaction conditions have a considerable impact on the performance of the catalysts. An overview of fructose hydrogenation over numerous heterogeneous catalysts is the goal of this review. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

“…This agrees with our results that Leuconostoc was identified as the main species on Day 20 of DBSC fermentation. As a species of Leuconostoc, Leuconotoc mesenteroides can ferment fructose into mannitol, which are frequently used as sweeteners and thickeners in food sectors and is tolerant during osmotic stress [32]. And Leuconotoc mesenteroides can also utilize other sugars (pentose, arabinose, and xylose), which contributes to the development of complex and unique flavor characteristics [30].…”

“…It comprises two review papers along with 13 technical papers. The first review paper by Alexzman et al 1 critically examines the promising prospects of utilizing catalytic hydrogenation of fructose as a viable strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. The theme of this review centers on the innovation and development of novel catalysts, and throughout the review, a comprehensive exploration is undertaken on the impact of variables such as the choice of metal, the supporting substrate, and the conditions under which the reaction occurs, all of which significantly influence the catalyst's overall efficacy.…”
