Abstract
During manufacture of plywood from yellow meranti (Shorea spp.) collected in Sarawak, the extractives stick on press boards and on plywood panels in some cases. The stuck material is phenolic and has low solubility in organic and inorganic solvents. Investigation of the methanol extracts of yellow meranti wood suggested that the material is a mixture of biosynthetic compounds and/or their secondary oxidative polymers of resveratrol and its related stilbenes.
Zusammenfassung
Während der Sperrholzproduktion aus Meranti bleiben Extraktstoffe manchmal auf der Presse und den Platten kleben. Das anhaftende Material ist phenolischer Natur und nur wenig in organischen und anorganischen Lösemitteln löslich. Untersuchungen des Methanolextraktes von Merantiholz ergaben Hinweise darauf, daß es sich dabei um Biosynthesprodukte handelt und/oder deren sekundär oxidierte Polymere abgeleitet von Resveratrol und verwandten Stilbenen.
