Variation of extractives with height levels in rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis) / Fadhil Roslan

Abstract

Hevea brasiliensis or Rubberwood was subjected to a series of solubility analysis involving alcohol-benzene, natrium hydroxide (NaOH), and hot water to estimate the percentage of extractives contained in a Rubberwood tree. Three samples were taken from three height levels; top, bottom, and DBH. This study reveals that extractive in Rubberwood was highest at the top portion and lowest at the bottom. This trend is similar for all the three type of extractives - hot water soluble, 1% NaOH soluble and alcohol-benzene soluble.
