摘要

Procedure for the catalytic hydrogenation of reducible sugars of vegetable materials with hemicellulose and cellulose content, split by hydrolysis with acid, to reach polyalcohols free of secondary products, by means of finely divided hydrogenation catalysts, such as a nickel catalyst, in a suitable solvent for sugars, such as water, characterized in that the hydrogenation is carried out at temperatures below the boiling point, and that the ph value of the solution of sugars to be hydrogenated is constantly maintained at a value of 7.
