Substrate concentration: A more serious consideration than the amount of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in acid-catalyzed hydrolysis during bioethanol production from starch biomass

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) yield during bioethanol production from starch was determined using spectrophotometry and chromatography. Increasing acid concentration and time favored 5-HMF production with HCl while yield decreased after 45-minute hydrolysis time for HNO3 and H2SO4 hydrolyzed sampl...
