Eucalyptus globulus wood samples were reacted in aqueous media (hydrothermal treatments) at 160 degrees C for 30-66 min. Liquors from the several experiments were analyzed by spectrophotometry, high-performance liquid chromatography, or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, oligosaccharide substituents (arabinose moieties, uronic acids, and acetyl groups), acetic acid, furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural, and dichloromethane-soluble compounds. Individual components of this latter fraction were identified and quantified. The molecular weight distribution of oligosaccharides was studied by high-performance size exclusion chromatography. The kinetics of xylan conversion into high-, medium-, and low-molecular-weight products was assessed in terms of the severity factor and by pseudohomogeneous kinetic models.
