Simple Method for D-Xylose Extraction From Jute Stick and Rice Husk

Zakaria Ahmed, Hasina Banu, Firoza Akhter and Ken Izumori

ABSTRACT

Hydrolysis of agricultural wastes of jute sticks and rice husks were studied to extract D-xylose. When jute sticks was used as substrate, 1N H2SO4 was found to be suitable for D-xylose extraction at boiling temperature after a period of 1h. 1N H2SO4 was also found best for D-xylose extraction from rice husks. No cellobiose was detected in hydrolysate
