Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a process for making HMF or a derivative of HMF by dehydrating one or more hexose sugars in a reduced oxygen environment. In another, related aspect, a method for improving the stability and resistance to degradation of an HMF product involves adding one or more antioxidants to the HMF product.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A process for improving the degradation resistance of hydroxymethylfurfural or of a derivative of hydroxymethylfurfural, comprising adding one or more antioxidants to hydroxymethylfurfural or to a derivative of hydroxymethylfurfural. 2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein butylated hydroxyanisole is included in the one or more antioxidants.
