Acetone (r_ace), acetaldehyde (r_act), ethylene (r_et) and CO₂ (r_CO2) formation rates (µmolg ⁻¹_cat min⁻¹). Ratio between the rates of ethanol consumption for oxygenate syntheses and ethanol total consumption (R_oxyg), ratio between the rates of ethylene formation and ethanol total consumption (R_olef) and ratios values between the acetone generation rate and the oxygenated formation rate (R_acet)
