Tóm tắt

The effect of alkaline hydrogen peroxide on Douglas fir sapwood and heartwood was investigated by ultraviolet microscopy and reflectance spectrophotometry. It was found that the high absorbance of the heartwood elements around 300 nm which was attributed to the flavanone dihydroquercetin was readily eliminated by the action of peroxide. It is also proposed that the brightening effect of hydrogen peroxide is due in part to the destruction of coniferaldehyde groups which occurs to the same extent in both sapwood and heartwood and in all the morphological elements. A correlation between the concentration of chromophoric groups and the concentration of lignin is demonstrated.
