3.1.1. Effect of liquid-to-solid ratio
The experiments to determine the effect of the liquid-to-solid
ratio (L/S ratio) on the solid-acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of G. verrucosa
were conducted within the 7.5–30 volume-per-mass range
under the 5% solid-acid catalyst, 120 C, 2 hr conditions. Fig. 1
shows the effect of the liquid-to-solid ratio on the hydrolysis of
G. verrucosa to sugars, LA and 5-HMF. The formations of TRS
