7 months ago mollusque said:

When acids are involved in pulping, the hemicelluloses of wood are converted into sugars which pass into the cooking liquor; little attempt has thus far been made in the United States to recover these wood sugars from the wasteliquor.
--H. P. Brown, A. J. Panshin and C. C. Forsaith, 1949, Textbook of Wood Technology, vol. 2, p. 727

{Note added later: discovered through Google Books, but original text not visible; needs confirmation that "wasteliquor" rather than "waste liquor" was written.}
