We have probed the solid/liquid interfaces when using zeolites as the catalysts for carbohydrate conversion. The variation of the solvents from water to semi-aqueous mixtures will enhance preferential absorption of carbohydrates. The simultaneous detection of sugar in the solid/liquid phase has been made possible by MAS solid-state NMR.
