ABSTRACT
Microwave-assisted hydrothermal extraction of non-structural carbohydrates and hemicelluloses from tobacco biomass was investigated. Non-structural carbohydrates extraction was optimized by an Optimal design. The maximum yields for the leaf and stem were 118.57â¯mg/g and 120.33â¯mg/g biomass, respectively. The extracted stem residue was further treated for hemicelluloses extraction. A temperature of 200⯰C without holding was proved to be the most efficient condition to produce a hemicelluloses yield of 105.15â¯mg/g. GPC results showed that the Mw values of precipitated hemicelluloses decreased from 143.5â¯kDa to 13.25â¯kDa with increasing temperature and holding time, while the un-precipitated fraction were ranging from 11.83 to 4.88â¯kDa. Monosaccharide analysis revealed that hemicelluloses extracted at lower temperature are heterogeneous compositional type, including xylan, glucuronoxylan and xylanglucan, while the ratio of xylose increased significantly (up to 72.64%) with increasing temperature. The developed microwave-assisted hydrothermal extraction process opens new avenues for a sustainable tobacco-based biorefinery.
