In Brazil after 25 to 30 years of rubber production, when yield starts to drop, rubber trees are felled and destined for firewood and charcoal, despite the good mechanical properties and workability of the wood, and relatively low production costs. Wood with low starch content could be destined for the production of higher added-value products with potential to spare deforestation of many native forest species, but in rubberwood, starch increases palatability by wood borers and accelerates fungal degradation, thus compromising wood durability and the quality of timber. The aim of this study is to determine whether removal of the outer part of wood or varying the season of logging would result in wood with lower starch content. We measured the content of starch using enzymatic hydrolysis, the radial distribution of starch grains by light microscopy, and the corresponding seasonal variation of starch in 25-year-old felled trees. Rubberwood had large amount of starch in its entire trunk, increasing from the inner to the outer region, before decreasing in the outermost sapwood. Starch content was lower in summer, although higher than in other timber species. After relating the data to a comprehensive bibliographic survey of starch quantification in rubberwood, it was concluded that there are no technological arguments to destine the inner part of rubber tree trunks to the production of higher value products.

Harte;David Gil-Moreno; Dan Ridley-Ellis; Conan O’Ceallaigh; Annette M. Harte;The correct characterisation of wood properties is fundamental for the best utilisation of resources. In Europe, grading is defined by strength classes that are determined based on either bending or tension tests. The European standards give equations to estimate characteristic strength in tension from characteristic strength in bending, and vice versa depending on which was tested. These equations are applied to all softwoods. The aim of this paper is to empirically determine the relationship between bending and tension strength properties using two conifer species grown in Ireland and the UK. The results show that the relationships change with species. The standard conversion underestimates, importantly, the performance of spruce for tension loads calculated for the most common bending strength class for Ireland and the UK, C16. The opposite occurs on the reverse conversion. Additionally, the study includes published data from continental Europe, to establish a new conversion that uses timber from a broader range of grades, and that adjusts the tension performance of Irish and UK spruce obtained from bending strength classes, ensuring safe values for design.

A. Ajuong; C. Birkinshaw;E.-M. A. Ajuong; C. Birkinshaw;The extractives of acetylated spruce and larch wood were investigated and compared with their respective control counterparts using Fourier transform infrared to determine the effects of acetylation on extractives. Significant differences were observed among the spectra of organic solvents extractives in the control and modified wood, but no such differences were found in water-soluble extracts. It is postulated that the relatively bulky extract substances resident in the gross capillary structure were modified during the acetylation of wood and subsequently recovered by organic solvents, but the hot water extractives were possibly sugars from hydrolysis of less ordered polysaccharides. The mechanism of extractives action during acetylation is that of a scavenger mopping up unreacted anhydride and by-product acetic acid.
