Abstract
Humin by-products are formed during the acid-catalyzed dehydration of carbohydrates to bio-based platform molecules, such as hydroxymethylfurfural and levulinic acid. The molecular structure of these humins has not yet been unequivocally established. 1D C-13 solid-state NMR data reported have, for example, provided considerable insight, but do not allow for the
