Making Cellobiose

CocoMoco - 18-9-2018 at 13:13

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone in the community has experience with acidic hydrolysis of cellulose to cellobiose? I would very much like to have around 20g of this disaccharide for an experiment isolating unique yeast species. It looks very expensive, even if I could manage to find a seller. Cellulose is cheap, so I am wondering if there is a straight-forward method of making and separating it from cellulose, even if its not particularly efficient.

I appreciate any thoughts you might have, thank you!
