Chemo-Enzymatic Conversion of Glucose into 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural in Seawater

Do you sea water? Water consumption will be a challenge in biorefineries, and the use of non‐drinkable sources of water will be preferred. Herein, glucose is converted into 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in a chemo‐enzymatic one‐pot, two‐step procedure, involving immobilized glucose isomerase to prod...

Description
Summary:Do you sea water? Water consumption will be a challenge in biorefineries, and the use of non‐drinkable sources of water will be preferred. Herein, glucose is converted into 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in a chemo‐enzymatic one‐pot, two‐step procedure, involving immobilized glucose isomerase to produce fructose and oxalic acid to dehydrate it to HMF.
