GLYCOSIDE PREPARATION DIRECTLY FROM AQUEOUS SACCHARIDE SOLUTIONS OR SYRUPS

摘要

Case 2000080 Glycoside products are successfully prepared directly from aqueous saccharide solutions or syrups, and with acceptably low levels of undesired higher polysaccharide by-products, by dissolving same in the desired alcohol reactant and contacting the resulting homogeneous aqueous saccharide+alcohol solution with an acid catalyst material in a fashion such that substantially no separate or distinct, predominantly aqueous saccharide solution phase is permitted to come into contact with said acid; catalyst material under conditions conducive to homopolymerization of said saccharide reactant.
