Abstract: In the current study, xylooligosaccharides (XOS) were prepared by catalytic hydrolysis of beech wood xylan using carbon-based solid acid catalyst (AC-SO3H). The effects of reaction time, temperature and catalyst dosage on the yield of XOS were investigated. Using orthogonal array design, the optimal hydrolysis conditions were determined as 0.5 g of xylan, 0.2 g of AC-SO3H, and reaction time 3 h at 140 ℃. Under these conditions, the effect of different catalysts, namely, AC-SO3H, M-AC-SO3H and S-AC-SO3H, on XOS yield was investigated. The results showed that the highest yield of XOS of 66.60% was obtained by using AC-SO3H.
