Abstract

In order to propose an alternative structural element to be used for wooden dwelling houses in rich forest area, we paid attentions to a portal frame structure which is composed of not glulam but built-up members whose raw materials are dried sawn timbers taken from plantation grown forest. For establishing design procedure of the structural element, we made two different types of portal frames and conducted, at first, basic dynamic test to estimate natural frequency and dumping factors by fixing small shake excitation machine on the portal frames, then static push-pull cyclic loading tests were conducted until failure. The natural frequency of both portal frames was almost same but the higher order frequencies were likely to be affected by the difference of shear reinforcement of built-up members by hardwood dowels. While on static properties, as both portal frames failed in brittle manner due to bending failure at column or tear off at connection plate made of compression wood, further improvement of connection system was required for obtaining more stable alternative elements to glulam.

Abstract

The physical properties of sawdust including particle size distribution, particle density, porosity and water retention of tropical wood species were examined taking sixteen different wood densities users into consideration. Sawdust of each wood species was prepared using a milling machine (type CE TUV, made in Germany) with thickness of band saw size of 2 mm. Particle size of sawdust was classified into 3 classes; Over Size (OS) < 24 mesh (<710 µm); Coarse Particle Size (CPS = 350µm~710 µm) and Fine Particle Size (FPS = 177 µm~250 µm). In relation to the physical properties analysis, OS particle was excluded due to high variation in the particle size distribution but significant lowest in the proportion comparing to the FPS and CPS. Although statistical analysis showed that different wood density revealed relatively weak relationship with particle size distribution however wood density had positively correlated with the particle density. High of wood density tended to make higher particle density of sawdust. In addition, comparison between CPS and FPS for each wood species generally showed that CPS was significantly higher in porosity but lower in particle density and water retention than that FPS. Further, a comparison between different wood species in porosity and water retention showed different pattern, increasing wood density was negatively correlated with the porosity in CPS and also FPS; however the different wood density not showed significant relationship with the water retention.

Abstract

The bark of Swietenia machrophylla is colored dark red, and it is correlated with the extractives constituents such as phenolic compounds. This study, therefore, aims to investigate extractives from the inner and outer bark of S. machrophylla and their effects to color properties. The results showed that the extractive content in the inner bark was higher than the outer except for hot water solubles. In addition, the polyphenols and sugar levels from inner to outer bark were increased, except in the soluble-sugar of hot water extractive. The highest correlation between the absorbance of methanol, hot water-soluble extracts, and total polyphenols were observed using the visual spectrophotometer. The extractives that contributed to the bark's color were indicated from flavonoids with a precursor such as monophenol of catechol and resorcinol.

Abstract

The aims of this study were to evaluate the main compounds and the effect of M. leucadendron, C. odorata and P. cablin essential oil odors on human physiological responses. The chemical compounds of essential oils in this study were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and the physiological effects of essential oils on human were analyzed via the sense of smell olfactory system. Physiological parameters of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, stress index, and brain wave were recorded before and after sniffing essential oils. The result shows that the main compound of M. leucadendron, C. odorata, and P. cablin is 1,8-cineole, Caryophyllene and Patchouli Alcohol, respectively. Our results demonstrated that M. leucadendron and C. odorata oil odors possessed sedative effect and P. cablin oil odor had tendency to contain stimulating effect on human physiologies.

Abstract

In this study, in vivo hypoglycemic activity of mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) bark extracts was evaluated against alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The hypoglycemic effect was compared to that of standard glibenclamide. Oral administration of hot water and methanol extracts at a dose of 250 mg/kg body weight for thirteen days of daily treatment to diabetic rats was found to possess significant dose dependant hypoglycemic effect in diabetic rats. It less active than that of glibenclamide at dose of 3.22 mg/kg. However, the hot water extract showed significant hypoglycemic activity compared to that standard drug.  Phytochemical analysis of hot water and methanol extracts has shown posistive  test for the presence of  alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, dan terpenoids. Histopathological studies of pancreas revealed its significant effect of β-cell count. Therefore, the hot water extract could serve as good adjuvant to other oral hypoglycemic agents and seems to be promising for the development of phytomedicines for diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Cajuput oil is a commodity of non-timber forest product which is needed and potential to be developed in Indonesia. Therefore, further research on the factors of production and post-production are needed to produce optimum quality. In this study, the leaves of cajuput (Melaleuca cajuputi Powell) were distillated by water-steam distillation. This study evaluated effects of distillation tank density (60%, 70%, and 80%) and oil storage time (0 month, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months) on physicochemical properties and chemical compositions of cajuput oils. The results showed that cajuput oils had a specific gravity of 0.915~0.923; optical rotation of (-2,10°) ~ (-1,20°); refractive index of 1.463~1.464; solubility in alcohol 1 : 1; cineole contents of 61.18~76.24%; clear to yellowish clear color; distinctive smell of cajuput and in accordance with SNI 06-3954- 2006. The GC-MS analysis identified 24 of chemical components on the cajuput oils with main components were 1,8-cineole, α-pinene, and β-caryophylene. Tank density 70% to 80% with the oil storage time up to 3 months still gives the optimum quality and chemical compositions.

Abstract

In this study, a biocomposite consisting of an oil-based network polymer and microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) have been prepared and its mechanical and thermal properties have been evaluated. Epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) was impregnated in a mat of MFC, followed by the acid-catalyzed curing of ESO to produce the biocomposite. SEM observation shows the good dispersion of the cellulose fiber in the oil-based network polymer. The Young's modulus and tensile strength of the biocomposite were much superior to those of the ESO homopolymer and these values increased as a function of the MFC content in the biocomposite. The storage modulus (E’) of the biocomposite in the rubbery region was also larger than that of the ESO homopolymer.

Abstract

A new approach in wood preservative treatment using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a carrier solvent has been developed and evaluated its effect on the physical, mechanical, and biological properties of treated tropical wood. It employs CO2 at various combinations of temperatures and pressures in a treatment vessel at once and is called Multi-Phase Carbon Dioxide (MPCO2) treatment. Three commercial tropical wood species (Agathis sp., Palaquium sp., and Heritiera sp.) measuring 1.5 cm (T) x 1.5 cm (R) x 15 cm (L) were prepared for the treatment with a termiticide (silafluofen). A treatment cycle was performed by loading two specimens of each wood species, applying the temperature of 15⁰C and pressure of 60 kg/cm2, gradually increasing the temperature and pressure, respectively, to 35⁰C and 80 kg/cm2, and releasing the pressure to atmosphere. The treatment was conducted with five replicates. Untreated and treated specimens were then evaluated their physical, mechanical, and biological properties. Results show that the MPCO2treatment significantly enhanced the termite resistance of treated wood without any adverse effects on their physical and mechanical properties.A new approach in wood preservative treatment using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a carrier solvent has been developed and evaluated its effect on the physical, mechanical, and biological properties of treated tropical wood.

Abstract

Our previous study included the semisynthetic reactions on oleanolic acid, a common wood-derived oleanane-type triterpene. Ten rationally designed derivatives of oleanolic acid were synthesized based on docking studies and tested for their topoisomerase I and IIα inhibitory activity. Semisynthetic reactions targeted C-3, C-12, C-13 and C-17. Some of these compounds act as dual inhibitors for both topoisomerase I and IIα giving new anticancer agents. The cytotoxic activity of these compounds on B16 melanoma cancer cells was evaluated. Results showed that most of these compounds have a higher cytotoxic activity on B16 melanoma cells.

Abstract

Kenaf bast fiber from 58 varieties grown in Zhejiang province, China, was treated using three treatments. First treatment used ammonium oxalate, sodium hydroxide and acidic chlorite (AT3), second treatment used ammonium oxalate and sodium hydroxide (AT0) and the third one was retting treatment (RET). Some parameters such as diameter, height and weight of stalk, and also fiber strength were measured for screening method.Treatment AT3 show much better strength than the other two. It means the single fiber which belongs to AT3 is stronger than the bundle fiber of AT0 and RET. Moreover the chemical treatment of AT0 has much stronger bundle fiber than RET. The best-8 varieties (kenaf sample number 8, 11, 12, 30, 32, 48, 52 and 58) were selected based on the fiber strength and kenaf sample number 12 and 32 reached the superior two if evaluated with other factors.
