^aNote that in the cascade experiment (Experiment A3), the temperature T and residence time τ₀ are provided for the second crystallizer. The temperature in the first crystallizer was set to T₁ = 45 °C, while the residence time was τ₁ = τ₂ = 70 min. The solubilities of βLGA at 25 °C and 30 °C are 8.4 g kg^–1 and 9.9 g kg^–1, respectively.
