Impact of residual [C 2 mim][OAc] in terms of saccharification inhibition. Sugar yields were measured after saccharification (54 mg/g glucan of Cellic CTec2, 6 mg/g glucan Cellic HTec2, 50°C, pH 5.5 for 72 hours) of solids taken after each wash step. IL concentration in recovered biomass is the concentration of [C2mim][OAc] measured in the supernatant after complete solubilization of the solids.
