Abstract

During manufacture of plywood from yellow meranti (Shorea spp.) collected in Sarawak, the extractives stick on press boards and on plywood panels in some cases. The stuck material is phenolic and has low solubility in organic and inorganic solvents. Investigation of the methanol extracts of yellow meranti wood suggested that the material is a mixture of biosynthetic compounds and/or their secondary oxidative polymers of resveratrol and its related stilbenes.
