Possible subsequent products starting from monomeric sugars which were formed in small amounts could be furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural. First insights towards the effect of sulfuric acid as catalyst were acquired through experiments with effective milling durations of 86 min and different acid contents. The acid content was varied between 0 % and 9.48 % as shown in Figure . The figure shows that the acid content has a large impact on the oligomer fraction. Without catalyst the amount of desired oligomers is below 10 % which increases to above 90 % by adding 2.37 % sulfuric acid. What we also noticed is that a higher acid content reduces the oligomer fraction. This trend can be attributed to the higher catalyst content which brings about an even higher reaction rate and therefore a higher degree of depolymerization towards the sugar components. The desired 1-10 kDa glycans defined during this work can be used as starting material for coating resins. To verify the desired molecular weight range the GPC measurement of the sample partially depolymerized with 2.37 % sulfuric acid is shown (Figure ).
