Article Abstract
Ionic liquid (IL) has been widely investigated in 5-HMF production from biomass. However, most of studies employed IL as reaction solvent which requires a large amount of IL. In the present study, IL was utilized as catalyst in the conversion of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) to 5-HMF under microwave irradiation (MI) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) containing LiCl. 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG)-based ILs, including 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine tetrafluoroborate ([TMG][BF4]) and 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine lactate ([TMG]L) which were commonly used in the absorption of SO2 and CO2 from flue gas, were synthesized and applied in the conversion of MCC to 5-HMF for the first time. Of the catalysts employed, [TMG]BF4 showed high catalytic activity in 5-HMF production from MCC. The condition including the ratio of IL to MCC, temperature and time for MCC conversion was optimized using Central Composite Design (CCD) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The highest 5-HMF yield of 28.63% was achieved with the optimal condition.

γ-Glutamylcysteine (γ-EC) can increase intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels, which may prevent and alleviate age-related disorders and chronic diseases caused by oxidative damage. However, the commercial availability of γ-EC remains limited owing to its complex chemical synthesis from glutamate and cysteine. In this study, we have developed the method of the effective conversion of GSH to γ-EC to achieve the optimal reaction conditions for repeated batch production and potential application in industrial γ-EC production using the phytochelatin synthase-like enzyme NsPCS.

This study investigates the mixing effects on the enzymatic hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and dilute-acid pretreated corncob substrates under high-solid conditions. Enzymatic hydrolysis experiments were conducted to assess cellulose conversion rates under varying mixing conditions (0, 50, 150, and 250 rpm) and solids loadings (5 %, 15 %, 25 %, and 35 %, w/v), and distinct physicochemical properties of the substrates were characterized. Additionally, the role of mixing conditions and solid loadings on cellulose hydrolysis kinetics and enzyme adsorption on both substrates and lignin were elucidated.
