Abstract

The thermal dehydration kinetics of cellobiose have been studied previously in the 170–250 °C temperature range.1 A comparison with the dehydration kinetics of sucrose suggested that the eliminated water is responsible for its liquefaction at 238 °C and that this so-called melting process is a high temperature aqueous dissolution of the partially dehydrated cellobiose. The kinetics of dehydration appear to be strongly influenced by the fact that each hydroxyl hydrogen atom is hydrogen bonded, either inter- or intramolecularly, to a neighboring hydroxyl oxygen atom.2
