Bio-oil obtained from pyrolysis is highly complicated mixture with valued chemicals. In order to reduce the complexity for unambiguous characterization of components present in bio-oil, solvent extractions using different solvents with increasing polarity have been adopted. The fractions have been analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for identifying the functional groups and Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), for detailed characterization of components present in various fractions, thereby providing in-depth information at molecular level of various components in bio-oil.

- * Two major influences on enzymatic digestibility were found: structural changes in cellulose and the properties of the ionic liquids, such as viscosity and surface tension.
- * The ionic liquid [C2mim][OAc] achieved a noteworthy 97.7% glucose yield, suggesting that understanding the transformation in cellulose structure could lead to optimized biomass pretreatment processes for better enzyme accessibility.
