Abstract
A process for dewatering biomass material comprising polysaccharide and water. The process comprises wetting the biomass material with a wetting composition comprising an alcohol to form a biomass slurry comprising wetted biomass material and a liquid component, mechanically separating a portion of the liquid component from the biomass slurry, and mechanically separating at least a portion of the water from the wetted biomass material. A process for extracting polysaccharide from the biomass material and a dewatered biomass material are also disclosed.

1-60. (canceled)
A dewatered biomass material comprising a polysaccharide, wherein the dewatered biomass material comprises dry matter in an amount from about 35% to about 60% by weight of the dewatered biomass material and a residual sugar content from about 3% to about 30% by weight of the dewatered biomass material.
A dewatered citrus peel comprising dry matter in an amount from about 35% to about 60% by weight of the dewatered citrus peel and a residual sugar content from about 3% to about 30% by weight of the dewatered citrus peel.
