Im try the hydrolysis following method below .
The question is that we use acid afterwards for neutralization of product the salt formation takes place it also settles down along with product, we precipitate by adding ethanol But the salt will also be precipitated will remian in final product! How to cope the situation any method for only precipitating hydrolyzed gum ?
"Basic hydrolysis of purified D. sissoo gum was performed byusing the method given by Beltran [23]. The 5 g of purified gum washydrolyzed with saturated solution of barium hydroxide (200 mL)for 8 h at 100◦C. The hydrolyzed sample was neutralized with 1 MH2SO4.The resultant product was precipitated with ethanol, fil-tered and at 50◦C oven-dried".
