Dehydration of biomass material comprising polysaccharides, method for extracting polysaccharides from biomass material, and dehydrated biomass material
A method for dehydrating biomass material comprising polysaccharide and water, wherein said method comprises: moistening the biomass material with a wetting composition comprising an alcohol to form a thick suspension of biomass comprising wetted biomass material and a liquid component; mechanically separate at least a portion of the liquid component from the thick biomass suspension; and mechanically separating at least a portion of the water from the wetted biomass material to form dehydrated biomass material.Un método para deshidratar material de biomasa que comprende polisacárido y agua, donde dicho método comprende: humedecer el material de biomasa con una composición humectante que comprende un alcohol para formar una suspensión espesa de biomasa que comprende material de biomasa humedecido y un componente líquido; separar mecánicamente al menos una porción del componente líquido de la suspensión espesa de biomasa; y separar mecánicamente al menos una porción del agua del material de biomasa humedecido para formar material de biomasa deshidratado.
