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

Figure 6

Mass balances for solvent extraction of jatropha whole seed and composition of the intermediate stages. Whole jatropha seed taken to comprise moisture (6%), bio-oil (32%), total fermentable sugars (18%), protein (19%), lignin (17%), and ash (6%). The values in the tables are averages taken from the literature and consequently do not always sum to precisely 100 [5–8].
