Resumen
The purpose of this work was to study the behavior of (1-3)(1-4)-?-D-glucan in pressurized hot water. For this purpose, solid ?-glucan (450 kDa) was put in water and heated at different temperatures (120, 150, and 170∘C) for different times (5 to 360 minutes).At 120∘C it was found that the highest soluble ?-glucan concentration was measured after 60 minutes; at 150 and 170∘C optimaltimes were 45 and 20 minutes, respectively. The maximum amount of ?-glucan dissolved in each of the optimal conditions was 1.5,2.2, and 2.0 g/L, respectively. Under those conditions an important reduction was observed in the molecular weight: at 120∘C and60 min it was 63 kDa; at 150∘C and 45 min it was reduced down to 8 kDa; and at 170∘C and 20 min it was only 7 kDa. Besides thisreduction in the MW some hydrolysis products, such as glucose and HMF, were observed. These results revealed the convenienceof using PHW to dissolve ?-glucans since the operation times, compared to the conventional process (55∘C, 3 h), were reduceddespite the fact that the MW was significantly reduced once the ?-glucan was dissolved; therefore, PHW can be used to extract?-glucans from barley under controlled conditions in order to prevent severe degradation
