Polyisoprenols in Pinus sylvestris needles

18. Utilization of Wood and Wood Components for Chemicals and Energy

“…Fig. These aspects shall not be discussed here but are described elsewhere (Hannus, Pensar 1973;Barton 1978Barton , 1981Barton, MacDonald 1978;Law et al 1978). The utilization of the so-called technical foliage (a mixture of leaf and twig material) is becoming a topic of increasing interest in connection with whole-tree or full-tree utilization (Eskilsson, Hartler 1973;Keays 1974).…”

Cellulose, Hemicellulose and Extractives

“…Table 111 16 shows the composition of the non-polar, lipophilic extractives from the foliage of Scots pine. In recent years, however, the interest in this biomass resource has been accelerating, especially in North America and Finland.…”

Essential oils and related products

“…The composition of the leaf oil of Pinus pinaster was established by Pauly et al (421). Bambagiotti et al (39) studied the terpene and sesquiterpene components of P. pinea oil, and Hannus and Pensar (202) identified 71 terpenes in pine needle oil. Joye et al ( 246) compared the composition of the needle oils from five different pine species, and Lishtvanova and Akimov (333) similarly compared the needle oils from five pine species from the Crimea.…”
