Cellobiose Decomposition in Hot-Compressed Water: Importance of Isomerization Reactions

This paper reports an investigation on the fundamental reaction mechanism of cellobiose decomposition in hotcompressed water (HCW) using a continuous reactor system at 225-275 °C. The importance of isomerization reactions to form two cellobiose isomers (i.e., cellobiulose and glucosyl-mannose) as th...
