Bark is the residue of wood transformation generated in the highest quantities. The principal uses of these valuable lignocellulosic materials are in landfill or for heat generation, thus failing to better exploit its multiple components. We have been studying forest extractives as rich sources of bioactive molecules for many years. In the present research we are exploring the two-step process consisting of pre- extraction followed by organosolv pulping. The organosolv process applied in this re...
