✦ Synopsis

Analytical pyrolysis was applied to oak wood to provide useful information concerning the structure of oak wood components and the corresponding extractable polymers (lignins, polysaccharides). We have established the aromatic profile of the formed products during heating and also the chemotaxonomy of different oak wood species, focusing on the qualitative and quantitative aspects.
