Abstract
A novel catalyst capable of selectively catalyzing conversion from glucose to fructose in water or in an aqueous solution is provided. The catalyst is a solid catalyst for a hydride isomerization reaction from glucose to fructose performed in water or in an aqueous solution, comprising a group 13 element oxide whose surface has been subjected to a phosphoric acid treatment.
Claims8
A method for selectively producing fructose as a produced product from glucose as a raw material, the method comprising:
- conducting a catalytic hydride isomerization reaction from glucose to fructose in the presence of a solid catalyst in water or in an aqueous solution,
- obtaining the produced product from the water or the aqueous solution,
- wherein the solid catalyst consists essentially of a Group 13 element oxide whose surface is bonded with a phosphoric acid to form a structure of —O—P(O)(OH)2 with the Group 13 element oxide.
