The color of Tectona grandis wood is an attribute that favors its commercialization, however, wood color from fast-growth plantation trees is clear and lacks uniformity. The aim of this work is to characterize steamed teak wood by means of the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and [Formula: see text] color systems. Two moisture conditions (green and 50%) and two grain patterns (flat and quarter) of boards were analyzed through the application of different steaming times (0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18[Formula: see text]h). The FTIR results showed that the bands at 1158, 1231, 1373 and 1419[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] did not show any change with steaming, whereas the bands at 1053, 1108, 1453, 1506, 1536, 1558, 1595, 1652, 1683, 1700 and 1733[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] presented a decrease in the intensity with the steaming time. The band at 1318[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] was the only one that increased. Lightness ([Formula: see text]) was the most affected parameter, followed by yellowness ([Formula: see text]), while redness ([Formula: see text]) showed the smallest change. Surface color change ([Formula: see text]) presented the lowest value between 3[Formula: see text]h and 6[Formula: see text]h of steam-drying in the boards with flat grain, whereas for boards with quarter grain, the smallest [Formula: see text] value was obtained after 18[Formula: see text]h of steaming.

Currently one of the world’s primary energy sources, fossil fuels are also causing an increase in environmental pollution. Besides pollution, these fossil fuels are also diminishing in quantities which increase the need for alternative fuels. This rising need lead to the development of alternative renewable energy resources. A diverse range of sources are available that can be efficiently utilized to produce biofuels, in this research we utilize Tectona grandis (teak wood), Pterocarpus marsupium (malabar kino)and paper as biomass sources to produce bioethanol using Saccharomycescerevisiae fermentation. These biomasses were said to be lignocellulosic substrates rich in cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) are used to in the conversion of substrate to ethanol in which the polysaccharides in the biomass are converted into simple sugars by hydrolysis. After which Saccharomyces cerevisiae used these basic sugars for the development of ethanol by fermentation. A bioethanol yield of 14.1%, 10.81% and 7.5% was obtained from Tectona grandis ,Pterocarpus marsupium and paper respectively, which was analyzed using dichromate titrimetric method. Thebioethanol yield from Tectona grandis is predominantly when compared with other biomasses.

Cellulose acetate was synthesized from cellulose which was isolated from teak wood (Tectona grandis) biowaste. The isolation process used an isolation method using nitric acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfite and bleaching with calcium hypochlorite. Cellulose acetate was synthesized with acetic anhydride, toluene as a solvent, and sulphuric acid as a catalyst. Cellulose acetate reacted with acetic acid as a catalyst and glycerol-chitosan as a plasticizer. This product yielded a bioplastic. The synthesized products were characterized by using FTIR and SEM. The bioplastic’s mechanical properties were evaluated by ASTM D638 method. Based on the results of FTIR analysis, this result was successfully performed. This condition was shown by the sharpness of the hydroxyl group of cellulose acetate than the hydroxyl group in the cellulose and wood powder. The optimum result of bioplastic was obtained by composition of cellulose acetate: acetic acid: chitosan: glycerol is 0.8 gram: 15 mL: 0,4 gram: 1 mL.

Durian wood (Durio zibethinus) from unproductive trees is a potential source of wood as raw material for furniture industry, but it has the weakness of vurnability to the wood insects such as dry wood termites. The objective of research is to find out the effectiveness of sawdust extract of teak wood (Tectona grandis) in preventing the decaying of durian wood. Thus the effort can improve the properties of durian wood. The preservative used in the research is extract of teak sawdust, i.e 250 gr/5 l water, 500 gr/5 l water and 750 gr/5 l. The preservation is used by cold soaking to the solution resulted from extraction for 7 days. The result of research shows that the application of teak sawdust for 500 gr/5 l water is sufficiently effective, because it causes the mortality of dry wood termites for 100,00 % and the retention of 17, 01 mg/cm3.Keywords: teak sawdust, durian wood, natural preservatives, mortality, retention.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of gum rosin impregnation upon a low quality young teak wood in order to enhance its quality. The main objective of the treatment was to enhance the dimensional stability, as well as strength and to reduce the hygroscopicity. A 15-years old thinned teak wood (Tectona grandis L.f.) and gum rosin from Pinus merkusii Jungh. et de Vries were used for wood modification treatment by impregnation. Three kinds of non-polar solvents, i.e. turpentine oil, petroleum oil and n-hexane-, were used to make gum rosin solution. The results indicated that gum rosin impregnation did not markedly enhance the quality of young teak wood in terms of either dimensional stability or hygroscopicity; however, a little enhancement was delivered by using 15% gum rosin solution with n-hexane as the solvent. The treatment with petroleum oil solvent (at concentration of 7.5%) and at 15% concentration with n-hexane solvent resulted in highest bending properties. The highest bonding strength in dry condition was resulted by treatment with turpentine oil solvent.

The inherent odor of teak wood has repellent, and has an obvious effects on animals and human. In this work, the weight loss of volatile substances of different provenances teak including India, Nigeria and Thailand has been studied by TGA. The emmision of volatile substances starts at 30°C and ends at 100°C, lossing weight of the all samples are very less in the range of 100-200°C. When the temperature is in the range of 200-250°C, the hemi-cellulose and cellulose is pyrolyzed and the char starts to form. The results all the curves of TGA for the teak samples is similar, the sapwood losing weight is clearly higher than the heartwood for the same provenance teak. The volatile substances of sapwood are ranked as follows:V3071> V3070> V3072> V8024> V3074> V1009> V3078> V1007, and the heartwood: V3074> V3070> V1009> V8024> V3072> V3071> V3078> V1007.

An investigation of selected properties of teak wood from 9-year-old plantation in Indonesia. Teak (Tectona grandis L.f) listed in standard EN 13556:2003 (code TEGR) is known as the most popular species in tropical countries, especially in Indonesia. It has not only good qualities in physical properties and mechanical properties, but it also has an aesthetics pattern. The best teak wood is usually more than 80 years old. It is too long a period of time and cannot fulfil the current wood demand. To fulfil the increasing demand, researchers in Indonesia have developed short rotation teak wood. However, the quality of this wood is rather low. The objectives of this study were to obtain complete information about mechanical, physical and acoustic properties of 9-year-old teak wood, to compare its properties with conventional teak wood and to evaluate the optimal utilization of 9 years-old teak wood based on its properties.

Growth periodicity was followed for two consecutive annual cycles to reveal the pattern of wood fonnation in plantation-grown teak at three different localities in India. Rainfall and age were the two important factors that influenced cambial activity. Cambial reactivation occurred during March-April in both years. The pre-monsoon showers broke the cambial donnancy at all three localities. Almost a month's interval was observed between bud break and initiation of radial growth . Irrespective of age and locality, a peak period of cambial activity occurred during June-July. Dormancy began during October-December, depending on the age of the trees and locality. Juvenile trees and those grown in relatively high rainfall areas had a prolonged cambial activity and retained foliage throughout the year. They produced wider rings with higher proportions of latewood. Irrigation of 5-year-old trees led to the loss of typical ring porosity of teak wood; their first three growth rings were more or less diffuse-porous. This is attributed to uninterrupted cambial activity resulting in production of rather uniform-sized vessels.
