The depolymerization of sodium alginate with hydrothermal treatment (180-240 degrees C) was studied to understand the selectivity of monosaccharide generation. Alginate depolymerized to oligosaccharides, monosaccharides and decomposition products that included lactic acid and glycolic acid. Alginate depolymerization under hydrothermal conditions occurred in a manner that initially released mannuronic acid (M) and then was followed by the release of guluronic acid (G). Monosaccharides were generated through the hydrolysis of the glycosidic bonds between the unit monomer with different selectivities among M-M, M-G and G-G units rather than random sites within alginate. Hydrothermal treatments shows promise as a method to modify the structure of alginate polymers. Crown Copyright (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
