✦ Synopsis

The mixture of monomeric phenols obtained by hydrogenation of wood from Eucalyptus diversicolor was analysed by GLC and tested for lipid antioxidant activity, which was found to be 75 % of that of 2-t-butyl-4-methoxyphenol (BHA). Butylation decreased antioxidant efficiency. Increased demethylation was observed at higher hydrogenation temperatures.
