Preparation and Characterization of Carboxymethyl Sago Waste and its Hydrogel

Carboxymethyl sago waste (CMSW) was prepared under heterogeneous condition as the product of the sago waste and sodium monochloroacetate (SMCA) in presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The carboxymethylation of sago waste was optimized respect to degree of substitution (DS) and reaction efficiency (R...

Sago waste were fractionated into cold water soluble (2.8%), hot water soluble (7.5%), 5% sodium hydroxide soluble polysaccharides (starch and hemicelluloses) (78.1%), 10% acetic acid and sodium chlorite (3.1%), 24% potassium hydroxide and 2% boric acid soluble hemicelluloses (1.9%) and -cellulose (10.5%), respectively. Moisture content, density, values of pH and solubility in water of CMSW were found higher than sago waste and these properties were enhanced by increasing the DS of CMSW.

Thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermogravimetric of CMSW showed the thermal stability of CMSW was more stable than sago waste from 35 to 900 oC.
