Carbohydrate stabilization in wood by quinones and oxygen

Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Spruce meal, impregnated with magnesium sulfate to suppress the depolymerization of the carbohydrates by oxygen, was treated with 1 M sodium hydroxide at 100°C in the presence of anthraquinone (AQ) or anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid (AMS). A decreased loss of carbohydrates obtained in the presence of oxygen is related to an increased conversion of the reducing sugar end groups to aldonic acid end groups. Larger effects of oxygen were obtained with AMS compared to AQ.
