Determination of Pectin Content of Eucalyptus Wood
نویسندگان
چکیده
Very little is known about the occurrence of pectin in wood and it is speculated that between 10 and 40 mg g of wood consists of pectin. The present study aimed to quantify pectin in eucalyptus wood and to determine the influence of tree species, yield potential of the site, tree age class and wood tissue type on its

SAGE transcript profiling of the juvenile cambial region of Eucalyptus grandis.
Despite the importance of Eucalyptus spp. in the pulp and paper industry, functional genomic approaches have only recently been applied to understand wood formation in this genus. We attempted to establish a global view of gene expression in the juvenile cambial region of Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maiden. The expression profile was obtained from serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) librar...
متن کاملDetailed Mass Balances of the Autohydrolysis of Eucalyptus Globulus at 170°c
Autohydrolysis of Eucalyptus globulus was conducted at three different intensity levels typical for prehydrolysis kraft pulping as utilized for manufacturing dissolving pulp grades. The objective was to establish for the autohydrolysis process a detailed mass balance comprising the chemical composition of all three phases: the autohydrolysate, the released gas, and the solid residue. Carbohydra...
متن کاملDecay Resistance of Four Fast-growing Eucalypts Wood Exposed to Three Types of Fields
The evaluation of wood durability enables the definition of reliable parameters to predict the servicelife of wood-based products. This study aimed to evaluate the wood deterioration of four fast-growing eucalypts species (Eucalyptus botryoides, Corymbia citriodora, Eucalyptus paniculata e Eucalyptus tereticornis) exposed to three field tests (outdoor, flooded site and forest canopy) during 540...
متن کاملNear Infrared Spectroscopy for Estimating Sugarcane Bagasse Content in Medium Density Fiberboard
Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down selected lignin-cellulosic material residuals into fibers, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and then forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. Because the raw material in the industrial process is ever-changing, the panel industry requires methods for monitoring the composition of thei...
متن کاملComparison of Py-GC/FID and Wet Chemistry Analysis for Lignin Determination in Wood and Pulps from Eucalyptus globulus
The kraft pulps produced from heartwood and sapwood of Eucalyptus globulus at 130 oC, 150 oC, and 170 oC were characterized by wet chemistry (total lignin as sum of Klason and soluble lignin fractions) and pyrolysis (total lignin denoted as py-lignin). The total lignin content obtained with both methods was similar. In the course of delignification, the py-lignin values were higher (by 2 to 5%)...
