This study aims to investigate the sugar components which play an important role in the process of heartwood formation in young Swietania mahagoni. The methanol-water (70/30, volume/volume) extract was analyzed by GC-MS to determine sugar constituents. The content of methanol-water extract ranged from 3.7 to 7.8% based on dried wood. After a 4-5 yr duration of heartwood formation in the sapwood, monosaccharide and alditol fractions doubly increased. This was followed by almost five times the content of cyclitols. In a radial variation, the content of major monosaccharides including fructose, glucose, mannose and xylose decreased from sapwood to heartwood, while arabinose, galactose, and sucrose in the age 5 years were only found in the sapwood. Meanwhile, the main content of cyclitols and alditols (arabitol) significantly decreased from sapwood to heartwood. The main monosaccharides and disaccharides represented by sucrose played a key role in the process of heartwood formation. Further studies are required to investigate the phenolic and lipophilic components as both are involved in heartwood formation. In addition, similar studies on alditol and cyclitol regarding their role in tropical wood are necessary. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (2R,3S)-rel-Butane-1,2,3,4-tetraol (cas: 149-32-6HPLC of Formula: 149-32-6).
(2R,3S)-rel-Butane-1,2,3,4-tetraol (cas: 149-32-6) belongs to alcohols. Similar to water, an alcohol can be pictured as having an sp3 hybridized tetrahedral oxygen atom with nonbonding pairs of electrons occupying two of the four sp3 hybrid orbitals. Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized at all without breaking carbon-carbon bonds, whereas primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or further oxidized to carboxylic acids.HPLC of Formula: 149-32-6
