Abstract
The major components of wood are cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, and many of the properties of wood are a function of this lignocellulosic network. Although extractives are a minor component, often constituting less than 10% of the wood, they contribute disproportionately to the characteristics of wood. It is extractives that give wood its color, its odor, and, to some extent, its physical properties. Extractives can have a significant influence on how wood is used.
