Extractive Content and Antioxidant Activity of Cajuput Bark (Melaleuca cajuputi Powell)
No full textBoth wood and non-wood industries generate large amounts of residues from processes like bark peeling and removal. In the cajuput oil industry, the waste products include distillation residues and cajuput bark. The diverse extractives and chemical components found in cajuput bark have the potential for enhanced value through various applications. This study aimed to determine the chemical components, extractive content (EC), and percentage inhibition of antioxidant activity (%IAA) of cajuput bark extract to explore more effective uses of this byproduct. Cajuput bark (Melaleuca cajuputi Powell) was sourced from a 26-year-old cajuput stand in Paliyan, Gunungkidul. The bark powder was extracted using a methanol-water solvent mixture at concentrations of 40% and 80%. Extraction was conducted in water baths at temperatures of 60°C and 100°C for 120 minutes. GC-MS identified several chemical components in the methanol extract of cajuput bark, including sugars (erythritol, D-arabinose, D-lyxose, adonitol, d-galactose, D-glucitol, and L-rhamnose), fatty acids (lactic acid, glycerol, glyceric acid, malic acid, and palmitic acid), and phenolic derivatives (gallic acid and protocatechuic acid). The average extractive content of the methanol extract of cajuput bark was 4.07%, and the percentage inhibition of antioxidant activity was 40.26%
Chemical components of boiling-treated sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria (L.) I. C. Nielsen) wood
No full textSengon is a fast-growing wood species widely distributed on Java Island and commonly utilised for plywood production. It is frequently subjected to boiling treatment to reduce veneer defects, making it important to understand how this treatment affects its properties. This study investigated the effect of boiling treatment on the properties of sengon wood, involving three seven-year-old trees which were subjected to a control and an experimental treatment at 80℃ for ten hours. The wood specimens were divided into near-pith, middle, and near-bark sections. The specimens were powdered to a size of 40–60 mesh for successive extraction with n-hexane, methanol, and hot water. The total phenolic content was measured from the methanol-soluble extract, and the total polysaccharide content was measured from the hot-water-soluble extract. Chemical components such as holocellulose, alpha-cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, ash, and silica contents, as well as pH values, were determined. T-test revealed that boiling treatment significantly reduced extractive levels (in ethanol-toluene and methanol solubles) but significantly increased total phenolic and polysaccharide contents. No significant effect was observed on cell wall chemical components. One-way ANOVA indicated that the radial direction significantly affected methanol-soluble extractive content, total phenolic content, and total polysaccharide content
Application of Single and Double Component Wood Bleaching Chemicals on Surface Properties of Naga (Brachystegia cynometroides) Wood
No full textIn this study, some surface changes (color parameters, whiteness index (WI*), and glossiness) occurring after the application of single [oxalic acid (C2H2O4)] and double component [sodium hydroxide (NaOH) + hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)] wood bleaching chemicals on naga (Brachystegia cynometroides) wood were investigated. The bleached surfaces were compared with the unbleached surfaces. According to the obtained results, the ∆E* values were determined as 2.99 for C2H2O4 chemical and 16.95 for NaOH + H2O2 chemical. Significant results were found for all tests in the analysis of variance. Increases in b* and C* values were observed with C2H2O4, while decreases were observed with NaOH + H2O2 chemical. With both wood bleaching chemicals, increases were found in WI* values in parallel directions to the fibers, as well as in ho and L* values, while decreases were obtained in glossiness values at 60 and 85 degrees in both parallel and perpendicular directions to the fibers, and in a* values
A Study on the Application of Wax on Linden (Tilia tomentosa Moench.) Wood
No full textLinden wood is used in match production, double bass making, carving, musical instrument crafting, and furniture production. This study examined the effects of applying varying numbers of wax coats (1, 2, and 3 coats) on the color parameters, glossiness values, and whiteness index (WI*) values of linden (Tilia tomentosa Moench.) wood surfaces. A comparison was made between untreated surfaces and those treated with three different wax applications. According to the obtained results, all tests except for hue angle were found to be significant in the analysis of variance. The ∆E* values were found to be 5.13 for the application of 1 coat of wax, 6.53 for the application of 2 coats of wax, and 6.95 for the application of 3 coats of wax. After applying waxes to the wood, reductions were noted in WI* and L* values, while enhancements were detected in glossiness readings at 60 and 85 degrees, as well as in a*, C*, ho, and b*values.
Comparative Study of Flexural Behavior of Bolted-Laminated and Glue-Laminated Sengon Timber Beams (Albizia falcataria)
No full textThis study aimed to study the flexural behavior of bolt-laminated and glue-laminated sengon (Albizia falcataria) timber beams, which are flexural strength, modulus of rupture (MoR), and beam ductility. The study was conducted using an experimental testing method in the laboratory with reference to the ASTM D198. The number of test objects were three consecutively for bolt-laminated beams and glue-laminated beams. Results obtained from this study indicated that the flexural strength of bolt-laminated and glue-laminated sengon timber beams was not significantly different; the flexural strength of bolt-laminated beams were 3.1% higher compared to glue-laminated beams. The MoR and ductility of bolt-laminated beams were 8.4% and 14.2% higher compared to glue-laminated beams. These results indicate that the glue has an impact to the brittle behavior or limited ductility, while the bolts have an impact to make a more ductile beams. The general conclusion is that mechanical laminated timber technology can be an alternative to producing beams with larger cross-sectional sizes compared to solid timber, especially for low-grade wood, so that it can be used as part of the structural elements of buildings
Characteristics and Quality of Oleoresin Based On Different Stimulant Treatments
No full textAbstractThe quality of oleoresin determines the sale value of exports and imports. The quality of pine resin is determined by its color, moisture content, and impurities. The research method used a T-tes Independent to compare organic stimulants and sulfuric acid stimulants in tapping pine resin and referred to SNI 7837: 2016 to determine the quality of oleoresin. The results showed that trees treated with organic stimulants produced bright white oleoresin compared to trees treated with sulfuric acid stimulants which produced cloudy white oleoresin. However, both of them produce low levels of impurities and moisture content <5% so it is included in the super-premium quality class
Physical and Mechanical Properties of Particleboard from Petung Bamboo-waste using Eco-friendly Chitosan-starch Adhesive
No full textThe effect of starch addition in chitosan adhesive on the physical and mechanical properties of petung bamboo particleboard from bamboo-sawing waste was investigated in this work. The utilization of bamboo-sawing waste particles as a raw material for particle board manufacturing has been gaining attention due to its waste reduction potential and economic advantages. The results of this study indicated that starch has been proven to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of petung bamboo particleboard. Adding only 4% wt. of chitosan/starch adhesive with a chitosan/starch ratio of 7/3 (w/w) has resulted in an improvement in the physical properties of the particleboard, such as moisture content, thickness swelling, and water absorption. It has also enhanced the mechanical properties of the particle board, including modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and internal bonding (IB), in comparison to chitosan adhesive without starch addition. Overall, these findings provide insights for further developing chitosan/starch adhesive, especially to produce natural-based adhesives with good bonding quality
Antifungal Activity and Identification of Active Compounds From Wood Tristaniopsis whiteana (Griff) Against Wood Rot Fungus
No full textThe aim of the study was to analyze the content of pelawan wood extractive substances (Tristaniopsis whiteana (Griff)) and to test it with the fungi Schizophyllum commune Fr and Pleurotus ostreatus. Pelawan heartwood powder was macerated with methanol. Then fractionated in stages with n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and butanol. The resulting extract was then tested with S. commune and P. ostreatus fungi. The most active fraction was isolated using column chromatography with a gradient system, the eluent was methanol:chloroform. Sub-fractions were then tested for fungi to determine the most active sub-fractions, and the most active sub-fractions were then analyzed by 1H NMR. The results showed that the extractive content of pelawan wood was most soluble in chloroform. All extract fractions contain potential as anti-fungal. .The chloroform fraction was very active compared to the other fractions. Isolation of the chloroform fraction by column chromatography obtained 8 sub-fractions. All of these sub-fractions were able to inhibit the growth of S.commune and P.ostreatus with IC(50) = 54.55 - 64.69 mg/L and IC(50) = 54.17 - 64.44 mg/L respectively. PL.3 sub-fraction was the most active among the 8 sub-fractions. The results of 1H NMR analysis on the PL.3 subfraction were shown to be Heptanoic Acid compounds
Pulp and Paper Characteristics of Five Lesser-known Species in Kalimantan: Effects of Re-beating
No full textFive lesser-known species from natural forests in Central Kalimantan, viz., cempaka (Michelia champaca Linn), mentawa (Artocarpus rigidus Blume), menjalin (Xanthophyllum excelsum Miq.), kempili (Lithocarpus elegans (Blume) Hatus. Ex Soepadmo), and sempori (Dillenia sp.) were evaluated in the laboratory for their specific gravity, fiber morphology, pulping and papermaking properties. In addition, their properties after three-phase beating were also evaluated from a recycled paper point of view. The specific gravity and fiber length range were 0.58~0.68 and 1239~2479 μm, respectively. The highest value in specific gravity was observed in menjalin wood, while the longest fiber was observed in sempori. Kraft pulping with 14% active alkali (as Na2O), 23% sulfidity, 2 h at the maximum temperature showed that the highest screened yield was determined in cempaka wood (44.29%) with a kappa number of 17.6. The freeness ranges of unbeaten pulp were 675~780m mL CSF. The freeness ranges of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd beating were 539~630 mL, 235~275 mL, and 220~230 mL CSF, respectively. The 1st beating exhibited the best mechanical properties. Among the species, cempaka, kempili, and mentawa showed comparatively high tensile (57~60 Nm/g) and burst index (2.6~3.4 KPa m2/g), whereas the highest value for tear index (5.02 mNm2/g) was observed in sempori. A considerable decrease in fiber length, slenderness ratio, and mechanical properties of the paper was observed with an increased beating number. These findings suggest that cutting the fibers or decreasing the slenderness ratio was the main factor causing the strength to decrease
Study of the Effect of Grain Angle on the Compressive Strength of Red Meranti Timber (Shorea spp.)
No full textThe compressive strength of timber is the main parameter in designing truss system, for instance timber bridges, building roof, or column in buildings. In term of design of compression structural components according to the SNI 7973:2013, the corrected compression design value is a calculation of compressive strength parameters and correction factors, for example, wet service factors, temperature factors, column stability factors, and others. Timber as an orthotropic material has three main directions, therefore the angle of the timber grain has an influence on compressive strength. This research aims to study the effect of timber grain’s angle on the compressive strength of Red Meranti wood (Shorea spp.) and develop an empirical equation to calculate the compressive strength of timber with the influence of the wood grain’s angle. The test specimens were made based on the primary method reference for compression test namely 50mm x 50mm x 200mm (parallel to the grain type), according to ASTM D143-22 for test specimens with variations in fiber direction, namely 0°, 10°, 20° and 30°. Meanwhile, test objects with variations in fiber direction, namely 60°, 70°, 80° and 90°, were made the sizes of 50mm x 50mm x 150mm (perpendicular to the grain type). Testings were carried out using a Universal Testing Machine with test speed according to ASTM D143-22. All test objects were made in dry conditions (moisture content ranging from 14% to 16%). The conclusion obtained from this research are an empirical equation for calculating the compressive strength of Red Meranti timber with a predictor is the timber grain’s angle, which are FCY = 14.01 – 0.119θ + 0.000042θ2 (in term of yield of proportional point) and FCU = 29.82 – 0.417θ + 0.0018θ2 (in term of peak or ultimate point). This equation provides benefits for academics and practitioners, especially in designing compression structural components especially with compression value as the main parameter
