Abstract

Oxidative degradation of carrot residue by sodium hypochlorite was investigated. The extraction products and oxidation residues were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). When the dosage of sodium hypochlorite ranged from 30 to 54 mL, the conversion of carrot residue was 31.33%, 29.80%, 26.37%, 24.50% and 50.40%, respectively. When the dosage of sodium hypochlorite was 54 mL, the degradation ability of carrot residue was the highest. The FTIR spectra of the extracts showed strong peaks at 54 mL and weak in the oxidized residue. Ultraviolet and fluorescence analysis showed that the oxidation products of carrot residue had fluorescence properties.
