An examination of the potential for the use of the Maillard reaction to modify wood

Abstract: Finding efficient ways to decrease wood decay caused by fungi is an important issue in the timber construction. A possible way to avoid wood decay by fungi is by reducing the water content of wood, since water is a primary condition for fungal growth. Bulking of the wood cell wall by chemical reagents occupies the space where water normally occurs. This also improves the dimensional stability of the modified wood. The aim of the work was to react non-toxic reagents using a Maillard type of reaction in the wood… Show more

“…On the other hand, negative retention can be related to extractives leached from wood during treatment with extract solutions. While investigating the potential use of the Maillard reaction to modify wood, Peeters et al (2018) reported similar incompetent treatments with MgCl 2 , in that the weight percentage gains were negative (as much as 5 to 6% WPG in the case of glucosamine with magnesium chloride), indicating removal of cell wall components as a result of the reaction.…”

“…The Maillard reaction has been investigated for wood treatment, mainly for the enhancement of the fungal decay resistance and increase dimensional stability [ 17 ]. However, to date, bicine and tricine have not been traditionally used for wood treatment and enhancement, and specifically the termite resistance of treated wood has not been evaluated.…”

“…The possibility of a Maillard reaction occurring in wood modification was proposed by Hauptmann and collaborators [ 16 ] for the reaction of xylose with tricine. The Maillard reaction may increase the wood dimensional stability, through the bulking of the cell wall, depending on the chemical components used to perform the reaction [ 17 ]. Tricine was shown to react with hemicellulose, resulting in an increase in wood hardness [ 16 ].…”

“…However, defects of wood such as warp, crack, and decay caused by the changing of external temperature and humidity have caused serious economic losses in wood production [1]. In order to reduce the defects of wood and improve its physical and chemical properties, the modification of wood began in the early 20th century [2,3]. The stability and corrosion resistance of polymer-modified wood have been significantly improved compared to the wood modified by other modification methods and gradually became the main method of wood modification [4,5].…”
