Preparation of nanoxylan from wheat straw

Muhammad Sheraz, Xiao-Feng Sun* and Adeena Siddiqui

In the present study, attention has been focused on the preparation of nanoxylan from wheat straw, and a simple and scale-up method for the synthesis of high-purity nanoxylan from wheat straw was presented. This preparation method was performed in a series of steps including alkaline peroxide extraction, ethanol precipitation, and freeze-drying. These steps ensure high purity and yield of nanoxylan under controllable and cost-effective conditions. The particle diameters of the prepared nanoxylan ranged from 30 nm to 90 nm with more than 90% xylose content and a weight-average molecular weight of 15,000–30,000 g/mol. Such unique properties as high dispersibility and solubility provide nanoxylan with huge potential applications in food packaging, biomedicine, agriculture, and so on.
