    Abstract:
    As the emerging functional food additives, xylooligosaccharides are receiving high commercial interest due to their excellent gut microbiota modulation capacity, and accumulating studies have suggested that acidic hydrolysis for xylooligosaccharides preparation is the most convenient and cost-effective approach, whereas liquid acids are still limited due to the challenges in acid catalysts separation and products recovery. In the present study, a strong acidic cationic resin (NKC-9), as a recyclable solid acid catalyst, was successfully applied to xylooligosaccharides production by acidic hydrolysis of xylan. Additionally, a central composite design with response surface methodology was employed to optimize the conditions for maximizing xylooligosaccharides yields. The results suggested that xylooligosaccharides with the desired degree of polymerization (2-6) could be prepared, and the maximum yield was reached 47.7% in the case of 5% solid acid loading at 131 °C for 42 min. Finally, the recyclability of the solid acid catalysts confirmed that it was a cost-effective strategy for xylooligosaccharides production.
