| 1 | Characteristics of fast-growing wood impregnated with nanoparticles显示文摘Falcataria moluccana or sengon is one of the fast-growing wood species widely grown in Indonesia.However,its wood is low quality with low density,and poor strength,durability,and dimensional stability.This study determined the effects of impregnation with monoethylene glycol(MEG)and nano-SiO2 on the characteristics of sengon wood,including its dimensional stability and density.Impregnation with MEG and nano-SiO2 had a significant effects on dimensional stability in terms of the weight percent gain,anti-swelling efficiency,water uptake,bulking effect,and density.The impregnated wood was examined by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.The results show that MEG and nano-SiO2 were distributed homogeneously into cell walls of wood treated with 0.5%MEGSiO2. | Istie Rahayu Wayan Darmawan Lukmanul Hakim Zaini Esti Prihatini | 2020 | Journal of Forestry Research2020,31,2: | 2 |
| 5 | Biomolecules of Interest Present in the Main Industrial Wood Species Used in Indonesia-A Review显示文摘As a tropical archipelagic country,Indonesia’s forests possess high biodiversity,including its wide variety of wood species.Valorisation of biomolecules released from woody plant extracts has been gaining attractive interests since in the middle of 20th century.This paper focuses on a literature review of the potential valorisation of biomolecules released from twenty wood species exploited in Indonesia.It has revealed that depending on the natural origin of the wood species studied and harmonized with the ethnobotanical and ethnomedicinal knowledge,the extractives derived from the woody plants have given valuable heritages in the fields of medicines and pharmacology.The families of the bioactive compounds found in the extracts mainly consisted of flavonoids,stilbenes,stilbenoids,lignans,tannins,simple phenols,terpenes,terpenoids,alkaloids,quinones,and saponins.In addition,biological or pharmacological activities of the extracts/isolated phytochemicals were recorded to have antioxidant,antimicrobial,antifungal,anti-inflammatory,anti-diabetes,anti-dysentery,anticancer,analgesic,anti-malaria,and anti-Alzheimer activities.Aside from these remarkable characteristics of woody plant extractives,further studies concerning the valorisation of these extractives in the fields of nutraceutical,cosmetic,bio-control,bio-stimulation,and other advanced applications would be of interest. | Resa Martha Mahdi Mubarok Wayan Darmawan Wasrin Syafii Stéphane Dumarcay Christine Gérardin Charbonnier Philippe Gérardin | 2021 | Journal of Renewable Materials2021,9,3: | 0 |
