Corecovery of Bio-Oil and Fermentable Sugars from Oil-Bearing Biomass

Table 4

Weight percent fermentable sugars (relative to weight of jatropha whole seed or jatropha shell) recovered from jatropha whole seed and jatropha shell pretreated with the cosolvent [C2mim][Ac]-MeOH at 100 and 120°C.

a,bThe reported data are averages of at least two samples. The values in brackets are the deviations of the measured values from the mean.
cJatropha whole seed fermentable sugar values are relative to weight of jatropha whole seed.
dJatropha shell fermentable sugar values are relative to weight of jatropha shell.
