Wood Science and Technology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The mixture of monomeric phenols obtained by hydrogenation of wood from Eucalyptus diversicolor was analysed by GLC and tested for lipid antioxidant activity, which was found to be 75% of that of 2-t-butyl-4-methoxyphenol (BHA). Butylation decreased antioxidant efficiency. Increased demethylation was observed at higher hydrogenation temperatures.
