“…The differences in nature and quantity of extractives probably explain the different behaviors of these tree species Nascimento et al 2013). In addition, other authors have shown that extractives may have different levels of antifungal or antioxidant properties, possibly explaining the differences in fungal resistance observed above (Amusant et al 2007;Mburu et al 2007;Huang et al 2009;Saha et al 2013). …”

& Key message Content and type of extractives vary considerably among woody species in the Congo Basin tropical forest. They influence the natural durability of wood with respect to fungal and insect degradation. Species containing higher amounts of extractives and Klason lignin were generally less susceptible to fungal colonization. Phenolic extractives with large anti-fungal and high antioxidant activities were the main chemical family of compounds extracted from the tested species, which suggests a potential chemical valorization of these extractives.

“…It has also been noted that polyphenols can be used as antioxidant for food preservation to replace butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) (Saha et al 2013). The toxicity of extractives has also been reported to be correlated to their antioxidant activity (Schultz and Nicholas 2002;Amusant et al 2007). …”

“…The wood contains resinous substances, from which different compounds have been isolated, including the diterpenes eperuic acid and cativic acid (labd-7-en-15-oic acid) [48]. Other compounds isolated from the wood are the flavonol (-)-dihydrokempferol; the glycosylated 3-hyroxyflavanones engeletin, neoengeletin, and astilbin; the flavan-3-ols catechin, epicatechin, and 3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)-epicatechin (wallaba epicatechin); the phenolics p-hydroxybenzoic, gallic, and ellagic acids; and proanthocyanidins [49].…”

Abstract:This review concerns five species of trees and palm trees that occur as dominant plants in different rainforest areas of the Amazon region. Due to their abundance, these species can be exploited as sustainable sources of botanical materials and include Carapa guianensis Aubl., family Meliaceae; Eperua falcata Aubl., family Fabaceae; Quassia amara L., family Simaroubaceae; and Attalea speciosa Mart. and Oenocarpus bataua Mart., family Arecaceae. For each species, the general features, major constituents, overall medicinal properties, detailed dermatological and skin care applications, and possible harmful effects have been considered. The major products include seed oils from A. speciosa and C. guianensis, fruit oil from O. bataua, and active compounds such as limonoids from C. guianensis, flavonoids from E. falcata, and quassinoids from Q. amara. The dermatologic and cosmetic applications of these plants are growing rapidly but are still widely based on empiric knowledge. Applications include skin rehydration and soothing; anti-inflammatory, antiage, and antiparasite effects; hair care; burn and wound healing; and the amelioration of rosacea and psoriasis conditions. Despite a limited knowledge about their constituents and properties, these species appear as promising sources of bioactive compounds for skin care and health applications. An improvement of knowledge about their properties will provide added value to the exploitation of these forest resources.

“…Extractives can protect wood from decay, add color and odor to wood, and enhance the strength properties of the wood. Extractives may also inhibit setting of concrete, glues, and finishes and cause problems in papermaking (Hillis 1987;Amusant et al 2007;Hashemi et al 2009). Extractives can be seen in both kraft and sulfite pulping as polyphenols in polymer fraction and fatty acids, terpenoids, steroids, lignans, and other compounds in monomer fractions (Holmbom 1999).…”

Bark Extractives and Suberin Monomers from Arbutus andrachne and Platanus orientalis

2016

Arbutus andrachne and Platanus orientalis grow naturally in Turkey. They do not occur in stands but can be seen as solitary trees. A. andrachne is seen in coastal parts of Anatolia, whereas P. orientalis can be found from west to the east of Turkey, mostly in river banks. Lipophilic extractives, hydrophilic extractives, and suberin monomers from Arbutus andrachne and Platanus orientalis bark was analyzed by chromatography. The total amount of lipophilic extractives was higher in P. orientalis (8.55 mg/g). However, the total amount of hydrophilic extractives had a bigger proportion, 100.86 mg/g, in A. andrachne bark. Dioic and hydroxy acids were the dominant group in the suberin monomers of both species of bark. Acid 1,18-dioic-18:0 and acid 18-hydroxy-18:1 were determined as the main compounds of suberin monomers in both samples. In addition, total amount of suberin monomers was determined to be 11.36 mg/g in A. andrachne and 15.95 mg/g in P. orientalis bark.
