ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 1. Introduction Carbohydrates which are a large natural resource have long interested chemists and biochemists because of their predominant role in biological and industrial applications. An important fraction of carbohydrates is made up of the smaller building units, namely sugar monomers and oligomers, and

RI PT

their aqueous solutions are mainly associated with the processing and the preservation of foods [1]. Thermodynamics investigations of aqueous carbohydrates solutions will be helpful in the precise design of operations and equipment used in food industries including chemical feed stocks, food

SC

production, and preservation of processed foods as well as in the study of the reaction conditions (e.g. feasibility and optimization) of currently employed industrial processes such as enzymatic

M AN U

conversion of biomass to useful chemicals [2]. As an example, water activity of solutions can be controlled by freeze drying and evaporation processes in order to reduce microorganism's growth and osmotic pressure caused by high concentrations of sugars that also inhibit food contaminations [3]. Although, a systematic and extensive study of water activities could contribute to a better

TE D

understanding of the sugars hydration mode, which is a topic of considerable importance, a comprehensive understanding in this respect is yet to emerge. In the present work, for the first time, systematic vapor pressure osmometry (VPO) measurements

EP

have been carried out for several binary aqueous sugar solutions containing pentose monosaccharides, hexose monosaccharides, disaccharides, trisaccharide and polyols, at 308.15 K

AC C

and in the extended concentration range in order to comprehensive study of vapor-liquid equilibrium of these systems and precise determine water activity and osmotic coefficients of them. Although previously water activity and osmotic coefficient data have been reported in the literatures for some aqueous carbohydrate solutions from isopiestic [4-12], hygrometry [13-15], freezing point depression [16, 17] and manometry [18, 19] methods, but these techniques aren’t precise as VPO, the number of data reported in the dilute concentration region is limited, none of them is an extensive study, and besides those data have often been reported at 298.15 K (except water activity obtained from the freezing point depression method which is the activity at the corresponding

2. Experimental Section

RI PT

2.1. Materials The properties of the chemicals used in this work have been listed in Table 1 and their structures have been presented in Scheme 1. Given that in aqueous solutions pyranose conformation of the

SC

investigated monosaccharides is more favored than furanose conformation, in scheme 1 only pyranose form have been drawn for all the monosaccharides. The chemicals were used without

M AN U

further purification and double distilled and deionized water was used.

2.2. Methods

TE D

All the solutions were prepared by mass on a Sartorius CP124S balance precise to within ±1·10-7 kg. The VPO measurements were performed using an Osmomat K-7000 (Knauer Inc.) at 308.15 K. The cell temperature was controlled electronically within ±1·10-3 K. The instrument consists of two

EP

thermistors (1 and 2) placed in an airtight cell (its gas phase is saturated by solvent vapor) which measure resistance changes caused by changes in temperature. Initially, a droplet of pure water is

AC C

attached to both thermistors with the help of a microsyringe, and after equilibration (∼5 min), the reading is adjusted to zero. After that, the pure water on thermistor 1 is replaced by the carbohydrate solution. Because of the condensation of water from the vapor phase into the carbohydrate solution, the thermistor 1 will be warmed and vapor pressure rises. This condensation process continues until the vapor pressure of the carbohydrate solution equals to the vapor pressure of pure water. In this steady state (a time of 4–8 min suffices to reach it), the thermistors measure the resistance differences (R) due to the change of temperature (T) between the two thermistors. T is proportional to R, when T is small. Initially, the instrument was calibrated using aqueous

4

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT NaCl solutions as reference and from which a correlation between the panel readings and the corresponding concentrations of the NaCl solutions (and therefore their osmotic coefficients) was obtained. After that, the measurements for the different aqueous carbohydrates solutions were carried out in the same conditions. In this work, we performed experiments with three different

RI PT

modes of instrument setting, hence the instrument was calibrated with aqueous NaCl solutions at three conditions: (bridge voltage = 100 %, gain = 16), (bridge voltage = 52.1 %, gain = 16) and (bridge voltage = 100 % and gain = 1) for dilute, middle and concentrated regions, respectively. The

where b0, b1, b2 and b3 are calibration constants and their values are reported in Table 2. The osmotic coefficient, Φ, of a carbohydrate solution with molality m which has a same instrument reading as a sodium chloride solution with molality mNaCl, was obtained according to:

where ν NaCl is the stoichiometric number of NaCl. ΦNaCl is the osmotic coefficient for aqueous

solutions of NaCl with molality mNaCl calculated from the correlation of Colin et al.[20] The

uncertainty in the measurement of osmotic coefficient was found to be better than ± 1·10-3.

3. Result and Discussion

The osmotic coefficients of the systems investigated at 308.15 K are given in Table 3. From the experimental osmotic coefficient data, the values of water activity and vapor pressure for the solutions were determined through the following equations [21]:

 mM w Φ  a w = exp −   1000 

)

(4)

where Mw is the molecular weight of the solvent, Bwo is the second virial coefficient of water vapor, Vwo is the molar volume of liquid water, and p wo is the vapor pressure of pure water. The value of

RI PT

Bwo at 308.15 K equals -1016.75 cm3.mol-1, where calculated using the equation provided by Rard

and Platford [22]. The obtained water activities and vapor pressures data of the systems investigated at 308.15 K are also given in Table 3.

SC

Figure 1 shows the experimental osmotic coefficients and water activities for monosaccharides: D-

M AN U

xylose, D-ribose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-fructose, D-galactose and D-glucose. As can be seen, the values of the osmotic coefficients follow the order: (D-Glucose ≥ D-galactose) > (D-fructose ≥ L-arabinose) > (D-xylose ≥ D-mannose) > D-ribose. Although the differences between the values of the water activities (and also vapor pressures) are very small, close examination of Figure 1b

TE D

indicates the reverse order to that observed for the osmotic coefficients. As can be seen, except for D-mannose, water activities of aqueous solutions of hexose monosaccharides are smaller than that of pentose monosaccharides. This is because the hexose monosaccharides have more hydroxyl

EP

groups (hydrophilic group) in their structures than the pentose monosaccharides. The hydration of a

AC C

carbohydrate is mostly dependent on the axial and equatorial arrangements of its hydroxyl groups. Equatorial hydroxyl substituents are more easily hydrated than axial. In Table 4, the arrangements of the hydroxyl groups substituent at C-2, C-3 and C-4 of the investigated pentose and hexose monosaccharides have been given (since fructose is a ketohexose monosaccharide, there are some differences between its structure and geometry with other investigated hexose monosaccharides which are aldohexose (see Scheme1), so in this table hydroxyl groups position of fructose have not been attended). The only difference between D-xylose and L-arabinose (and also between Dglucose and D-galactose) is that D-xylose (and D-glucose) has an equatorial OH(4), but L-arabinose (and D-galactose) has an axial OH(4). The smaller values of water activity for L-arabinose than D-

6

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT xylose as well as the similar water activity values for D-glucose and D-galactose indicate that the arrangement of OH(4) doesn’t have a significant effect on the carbohydrate hydration. However, the smaller values of water activity for D-xylose than D-ribose as well as that for D-glucose than Dmannose indicate that the arrangements of OH(2) and OH(3) greatly affect the hydration of

RI PT

carbohydrates. The dynamic hydration numbers of hexose monosaccharides in aqueous solutions obtained from the natural-abundance oxygen-17 magnetic relaxation follow the trend: glucose > galactose > fructose > mannose [23] which is in agreement with the results obtained in this work. In

SC

fact, the equatorial OH groups are able to interact with water in a manner which forms a long-lived hydration structure, since equatorial OH groups on pyranose sugars match the unperturbed water

M AN U

lattice [24].

The experimental osmotic coefficients and water activities of the investigated aqueous disaccharides solutions are shown in Figure 2. It should be noted that in the case of lactose and raffinose because of low carbohydrate water solubility, osmotic properties measurements have been

TE D

done just in the concentrations below 0.7 mol.kg-1. As can be seen, the values of the osmotic coefficients and water activities respectively follow the order: lactose > sucrose > maltose and lactose < sucrose < maltose. Type of two constituent monosaccharide units of a disaccharide and

EP

also the position and mode of linkage between monosaccharides affect the disaccharide hydrophilic degree. From the trend obtained for water activity of monosaccharide solutions, we expect the

AC C

trend: maltose (consist of two glucose units) < lactose (consist of a glucose and a galactose units) < sucrose (consist of a glucose and a fructose units) for the water activity of the investigated disaccharide solutions. The observed unexpectedly larger values for water activity of aqueous maltose solutions may be aroused from that maltose can form an intramolecular hydrogen bond in water [25]. Similarly, Galema et al.[25] from the density and ultrasound measurements of aqueous disaccharide solutions showed that lactose has a larger hydration number (and has a more negative partial molar compressibility) than sucrose and maltose. In Figure 2 the corresponding values for aqueous glucose (monosaccharide) and raffinose (trisaccharide) solutions have also been shown. As

7

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT can be seen, because of a cooperativity effect, aqueous raffinose solutions have a smaller water activity (or larger osmotic coefficient) values than all the investigated aqueous disaccharides solutions, which in turn have a smaller water activity (or larger osmotic coefficient) values than all the investigated aqueous monosaccharides solutions.

RI PT

Figure 3 shows the experimental osmotic coefficients and water activities for aqueous solutions of polyols: sorbitol, xylitol and maltitol. As can be seen, the values of the osmotic coefficients follow the order: maltitol > (sorbitol ≅ xylitol) and water activities increase in the order: maltitol < (sorbitol

SC

≅ xylitol). Maltitol, sorbitol and xylitol are obtained from the hydrogenation (reduction) of linear (acyclic) form of carbohydrates maltose, glucose and xylose, respectively; which their osmotic

M AN U

coefficients follow the order: maltose > Glucose > xylose. The reduction of aldose to alcohols leads to increased hydrophilic nature, because aldehyde functional group (existing in linear structure of carbohydrate) only can accept hydrogen bond from water but hydroxyl group can act as both hydrogen bond donor and acceptor. Besides, the study of the limiting partial molar excess heat 0

TE D

capacity ( c p,ex ), which is a sensitive indicator about hydration interactions, has been shown that the 0

values of c p,ex for polyols (arabinitol, xylitol, ribitol, mannitol, glucitol and galactitol) are

0

EP

significantly larger than those for respective carbohydrates (arabinose, xylose, mannose, glucose and galactose). c p,ex is a measure of the effect of a change in environment on the freedom degree of

AC C

solute, and the larger value of that for polyols may be attributed to their higher hydration due to the more ability for hydrogen bonding with water [26]. Accordingly it would be expected that, at the same molality, the water activity values for polyols aqueous solutions should be smaller than those for corresponding carbohydrates aqueous solutions (and about osmotic coefficient the reverse order is expected). In Figure 3, the obtained data for aqueous glucose, xylose and maltose solutions have also been shown. From this figure it is clear that, in the case of maltitol and xylitol, as expected, the values of osmotic coefficients for the polyols aqueous solutions are larger than those for the corresponding carbohydrates aqueous solutions. However, surprisingly, the values of water activity

8

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT for the aqueous sorbitol solutions are larger than those for the aqueous glucose solutions. Of course, in this issue our data is in agreement with literature (see Figure 7b). In a binary solution, the osmotic coefficient can be related to the molality activity coefficient of

The values of coefficients Ai, have been given in Table 5. The dependence of osmotic coefficients and solute activity coefficients on the concentration has been shown in Figure 4 for all the investigated systems. As this figure shows, solute activity coefficients decrease in the same order of the osmotic coefficients. The values of γ s(m) have also been given in Table 3. The osmotic and activity coefficients can be used for determination of the excess molar Gibbs free energy, GmE , with the following equation [27]:

Some comparisons between our data and references have been done in Figures 6 and 7. As mentioned before, the reliable experimental water activity or osmotic coefficient data for aqueous

sugar solutions at 308.15 K are scarce, so in this figures references data are often at 298.15 K. Figure 6 shows that osmotic coefficient values of glucose aqueous solutions at 308.15 K obtained in this work are between literature data at 298.15 K and 310.15 K and closer to 310.15 K than 298.15

K. In addition, according to this figure, osmotic coefficients decrease by increasing temperature. Figure 7 reveals that, similar to our results, literature values of water activity for sucrose aqueous

M AN U

solutions are smaller than those for maltose aqueous solutions, as well as, literature values of osmotic coefficient for glucose aqueous solutions are larger than those for sorbitol aqueous solutions. Besides, as expected, it can be seen from Figure 7 that water activities and osmotic coefficients of aqueous sugar solutions respectively increase and decrease by increasing

TE D

temperature. It should be noted that some of the osmotic coefficients data for aqueous sugar solutions reported in different articles by means of various methods disagree with each other (Figure 8). Given that the precision of VPO method in determining osmotic coefficients is much

EP

more than methods such as freezing point depression, hygrometry and isopiestic, the data presented in this work provide precise, reliable and up to date information about osmotic properties of these

important systems.

4. Conclusion

Osmotic coefficient, water activity and vapor pressure of aqueous solutions of pentose monosaccharides: xylose, ribose and arabinose, hexose monosaccharides: glucose, fructose, galactose and mannose, disaccharides: sucrose, maltose and lactose, trisaccharide: raffinose and polyols: sorbitol, xylitol and maltitol were determined at 308.15 K from the vapor pressure osmometery measurements. It was found that the experimental osmotic coefficients and solute

10

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT

activity coefficients of the investigated aqueous solutions decrease in the order: raffinose > lactose > maltitol ≥ sucrose > maltose > (D-Glucose ≥ D-galactose) > (xylitol ≅ sorbitol) > (D-fructose ≥ Larabinose) > (D-xylose ≥ D-mannose) > D-ribose. In other words, because of a cooperativity effect, the experimental osmotic and solute activity coefficients of the aqueous carbohydrate solutions

RI PT

decrease in the order: trisaccharide > disaccharides > monosaccharides. Although the differences between the values of the water activity (and also vapor pressure) are very small, close examination of the obtained data indicates the reverse order to that observed for the osmotic coefficient.

SC

The results show that in the aqueous monosaccharide solutions the OH(4) arrangement doesn’t have any significant effect on the hydration of carbohydrates, However, the arrangements of OH(2) and

M AN U

OH(3) are very effective in this respect. The hydration of a carbohydrate is mostly dependent on the axial and equatorial arrangements of their hydroxyl groups. So that, the equatorial hydroxyl

substituents (specially OH(2) and OH(3)) are more easily hydrated than axial.
