Methods for the production of erythrose and/or erythritol are provided herein. Preferably, the method of producing erythritol includes the step of electrolytic decarboxylation of a ribonic acid or arabinonic acid reactant to produce erythrose and the step of electrolytic reduction or erythrose to produce erythritol. Optionally, the reactant can be obtained from a suitable hexose sugar, such as allose, altrose, glucose, fructose or mannose.
本文提供了生产赤糖醇和/或赤糖的方法。最好的生产赤糖醇的方法包括通过电解脱羧反应得到赤霉糖酸或
阿拉伯糖酸产生赤糖,然后通过电解还原反应将赤糖转化为赤糖醇。可选地,反应物可以从适当的六碳糖(如
阿洛糖、阿尔曲糖、
葡萄糖、
果糖或
甘露糖)中获得。
