A process for the hydrolysis of xylose/arabinose-containing polymers, present in biomass material. The hydrolysis is performed by acid which is generated via salts present in the substrate, and whereby acid is constantly recycled, thereby strongly reducing salt discharge.

Process for extraction of pentose from ligno-cellulosic substrate

The invention relates first of all to a process for preparing alkali- and heat-stable sugar alcohol compositions which exhibits an optical density lower than or equal to 0.100 in an S-test, in which a sugar alcohol composition is treated with a strong base anion exchange resin in the hydroxide form, at a temperature between 30&#xb0; C. and 100&#xb0; C. Second of all, the invention relates to a sorbitol composition.

Process for preparing alkali-and heat-stable sugar alcohol compositions and a sorbitol composition

The invention relates to a method for preparing alkali and heat stable polyols, whereby sugar alcohols are treated with reagents to obtain stabilized sugar alcohol syrups and the stabilized alcohol syrup is subjected to a purification step by passing the stabilized sugar alcohol syrup over at least one ion-exchanger resin, and the stabilized sugar alcohol syrup being purified by a double passage over a cationic anionic ion-exchanger configuration (CACA), comprising at least a first weak acidic cationic ion-exchanger resin and a second strong, medium or weak basic anionic ion-exchanger resin.
