Saccharides are produced from an aqueous solution which solution comprises saccharides and by-products, in a process, comprising: in a mixing zone admixing the aqueous solution with a carrier liquid in which the saccharides are insoluble and that has a boiling point higher than that of water to obtain an aqueous admixture; removing water from the aqueous admixture to obtain a first carrier liquid phase comprising carrier liquid, by-products and saccharides; separating the saccharides from the first carrier liquid phase to obtain a crude carrier liquid, comprising by-products and carrier liquid, and a saccharide product, wherein the process further comprises: subjecting at least a portion of the crude carrier liquid to a liquid-liquid extraction with a first solvent to obtain a by-product-rich solvent phase and a by-product-lean carrier liquid phase; and recycling at least a portion of the by-product-lean carrier liquid phase to the mixing zone. 2.
