Table 3 Recovery of the glucose and mannose in the water-insoluble solids after the first and second acid hydrolysis steps, expressed as % of the theoretical available in the raw material

From: The influence of solid/liquid separation techniques on the sugar yield in two-step dilute acid hydrolysis of softwood followed by enzymatic hydrolysis
