Abstract

Hot water treatment of wood prior to pulping operations is recognized as a potential method to extract the hemicelluloses and convert them into value-added products. In addition to oligo- and monosaccharides originating from the carbohydrates, lignin fractions and organic acids such as acetic acid can be typically found in the water extract. Under intense extraction conditions, considerable amounts of other degradation products are also formed. The goal of this study was to identify low-molar mass degradation products from birch wood in water extracts produced at various extraction intensities
