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

Table 5

Bio-oil yields relative to weight of whole seed from safflower whole seed treated with the cosolvent [C2mim][Ac]-MeOH at 120°C.

wt% ionic liquid	Safflower^a; (wt% bio-oil)
45%	37.5 (0.4)
70%	35.8 (1.5)
100%	30.5 (0.5)

aThe reported data are averages of two samples. The values in brackets are the deviations of the measured values from the mean.
