Abstract
Within a study on combined hydrolysis and oxidation of starch toward D -gluconic acid the solid acid catalyzed hydrolysis of maltose as model compound was investigated. Acid zeolites and ion-exchange resins in t he H-form as well as amorphous silica-aluminas were used as the catal ysts. The optimal conditions found for maltose were applied in the hyd rolysis of amylose and starch. It is shown that the catalysis by zeoli tes and alumino-silicates involves homogeneous as well as heterogeneou s catalysis.
