  • Catalytic hydrogenation of invert sugar (50% glucose, 50% fructose)
  • using a Raney nickel catalyst results in the production of sorbitol and mannitol in a ratio of about 3 moles of sorbitol per mole of mannitol.
  • a similar ratio of products is obtained through nickel hydrogenation of high fructose corn syrup (50% glucose, 42% fructose).
  • Nickel hydrogenation of pure D-fructose typically results in a 1:1 ratio of mannitol to sorbitol, whereas nickel hydrogenation of glucose typically results in only
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,173,514 discloses a process for producing a mannitol-rich mixture of sorbitol and mannitol from glucose.
  • the process involves the steps of epimerizing glucose in an acidic a ⁇ ueous solution to obtain a mixture of glucose and mannose, and treating this mixture with a glucose iso erase enzyme to convert a portion of the glucose in the mixture to fructose, resulting in a mixture of m'annose, fructose and glucose in a ratio of about 3 to 2 to 5.
  • the mixture is catalytically hydrogenated, using a nickel catalyst, to yield a reaction product containing about 40% by weight mannitol, which is reported to be a significantly higher yield of mannitol than is obtainable by other known processes which use either glucose or sucrose as a starting material.

  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a method for producing a mannitol-enriched mixture of products wherein the relative proportion of mannitol in the mixture may be controlled.
  • the method of the invention in one form involves the preparation of a solution of glucosone and reduction of the glucosone by catalytic hydrogenation with a nickel catalyst in the presence of hydrogen.

  • glucosone is reduced by catalytic hydrogenation with a nickel catalyst to produce a mixture of mannitol and sorbitol having a molar ratio of mannitol to sorbitol ranging from between about 1.5:1 to 3:1, depending upon reaction conditions, as discussed below.
  • the production of a mannitol-enriched mixture of the two alditols from the catalytic hydrogenation of glucosone is unexpected for several reasons.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,321,324 discloses a method for converting glucose to fructose by catalytically hydrogenating glucosone at a preferred temperature of between about 100° and 150°C to produce fructose.

  • the prior art teaches catalytic hydrogenation of glucose, fructose or a mixture of the two sugars to produce a reaction mixture composed of mannitol plus sorbitol, and having a mannitol to sorbitol ratio of at most 1:1. None of these reactions suggest that glucosone would be a suitable starting material in a hydrogenation reaction to produce mannitol plus sorbitol, nor that the mixture obtained would be mannitol-enriched.
  • the reduction of glucosone to a mannitol/sorbitol mixture is a two-step reaction.
  • the first step involves reduction of glucosone to a mixture of mannose, glucose and fructose which predominates in mannose, i.e., contains more than about 50% mannose.

  • OMPI sfay. 1PO /?NA- ⁇ ixture The tv/o-step nature of the reaction can be best observed and exploited by using a high concentration-glucosone solution in the reaction. As will be seen in Example IV below, a 30% solution of glucosone is reduced quite slowly in the reaction, yielding predominantly mannose, fructose and glucose intermediates after about 7 days, and the final mannitol and sorbitol products after between about 14 to 19 da s ⁇ The invention thus can be practiced, by terminating the reaction at the intermediate stage, to produce a mixture of mannose, glucose and fructose which predominates in mannose.

  • the hydrogenation reaction is preferably carried out within a temperature range of between about 20° and 80°C.
