Description of the subject. In Europe, the heat treatment of native wood species is gradually becoming an industrial reality. It provides a promising alternative to both the use of naturally durable, essentially tropical woods and the use of chemical preservative treatments based on biocides. Objectives. The aim of this study is to quantify the effect of heat treatment on the physico-mechanical and decay resistance properties of three native hardwood species (oak, ash, beech + steamed beech). Method. The wood was heat-treated in accordance with the Besson® process. The standard physical and mechanical tests including hardness, modulus of elasticity in static bending, static bending, axial compression, splitting and impact bending strengths, have been performed on 15 treated and 15 control associated samples for each species. The standard durability test on fungi exposed 60 treated and 60 control samples to each fungus. Results. The results show a decrease in the equilibrium moisture content and an increase in dimensional stability of heat-treated wood for the three species studied. The modulus of elasticity, hardness and axial compression strength increase slightly after the heat treatment, while static and impact bending strength and splitting strength may considerably decrease. The fungal durability of oak heartwood and ash increased until class 1, beech and steamed beech until class 3. Conclusions. The global approach of this study allows a complete and precise characterization of the technological properties of three native hardwood species after heat treatment. New uses of these native species can thus be explored.

The effect of continuous-flow microwave treatment of milk was estimated by using indicators of the heat treatment intensity (β-lactoglobulin denaturation, inactivation of alkaline phosphatase and lactoperoxidase). Results were compared with those obtained using a conventional process having the same heating, holding, and cooling phases. Continuous microwave treatment proved to be an effective system for pasteurizing milk, with the inclusion of a holding phase to maintain the time and temperature conditions required. At high pasteurization temperatures, the extent of thermal denaturation observed with the microwave treatment was lower than that obtained with the conventional system. This result could be attributed to a better heat distribution and the lack of hot surfaces contacting the milk in the case of the microwave unit.

The furosine content in 53 samples of different cheese types (fresh, ripened with molds, artisanal hard-pressed, industrial hard-pressed, and processed) marketed in Spain was analyzed. The lowest furosine values were observed in artisanal hard-pressed cheeses (4.8 to 10.2 mg per 100 g of protein) and ripened with molds cheeses (4.2 to 12.8 mg per 100 g of protein). Industrial hard-pressed cheeses showed furosine values between 3.5 and 43.8 mg per 100 g of protein. Differences between samples may be attributed to the heat-treatment intensity given to cheese milk and to cheesemaking conditions. The highest contents of furosine were observed in processed cheeses (20 to 366.6 mg per 100 g of protein). A wide range of furosine content was found in fresh cheeses (17.9 to 73.6 mg per 100 g of protein), which could be due to the different amounts of dried milk added during the manufacture of cheeses.

Pitch Pine

Abstract Pitch pine (P. rigida) wood was treated with superheated steam (SHS) and the subsequent effects due to drying and heat treatment (HT) were observed. The following treatment parameters were tested: 180°C air HT, 220°C air HT, 0.1 MPa–180°C SHS HT, 0.1 MPa–220°C SHS HT, 0.5 MPa–180°C SHS HT, and 0.5 MPa–220°C SHS HT. No drying checks were observed in the specimens (500×150×50 mm3) treated at 0.5 MPa–220°C SHS and with these treatment parameters, equilibrium moisture content (EMC) was the lowest. Low EMC has an effect on physical properties such as shrinkage, compressive strength parallel to the grain, bending strength, hardness, and decay resistance. Based on the results, it is expected that the green wood in a large scale is possible to be simultaneously dried and heat-treated without occurrence of checks by the SHS HT process.

To enhance decay resistance, the effect of heat treatment and the variation of chemical composition on Chinese Fir and Pine were investigated in this study — heat treatment temperature was 170°C, 190°C and 210°C, respectively, heat treatment time was 2, 3 and 4hours, respectively. Both of them were subsequently exposed to white-rot fungus and brown-rot fungus. The results showed that:(1) With the increasing of the heat treatment, decay resistance of Chinese Fir and Pine were improved, anti-corrosion of Pine after being heat treated at 190°C which were exposed to write-rot fungus can reach I, anti-corrosion of Chinese Fir after being heat treated at 170°C treated which were exposed to brown-rot fungus could reach I yet, After being heat treated at 210°C for 3 hours , the Chinese fir samples had no measurable weight loss when exposed to the write-rot fungus.(2) There was no remarkable influence on both Chinese Fir and Pine by heat treatment time.(3) The moisture content of Chinese Fir and Pine were lower than the moisture content that the rot fungus need, macromolecule chains such as cellulose and hemicellulose broke down, their contents decreased, and the hemicellulose decomposed into acetic acid, they prevented the growth of rot fungus.
