| dc.description.abstract | The detailed anatomical and chemical features of the bark from endemic Quercus vulcanica in Turkey are reported here for the first time and discussed in the perspective of integration into a bark-based biorefinery system. The bark of Q. vulcanica trees was collected and studied through observations using light and scanning electron microscopy, wet-chemical analysis, inorganic elemental and FTIR analyses, GC-MS determinations of lipophilic extractives and suberin monomers, as well as TBARS antioxidant activity of hydroethanolic extracts. The bark of Q. vulcanica comprises phloem and a rhytidome with thin periderms and a few cork layers. The ash content is high (16.4%), primarily consisting of calcium oxalate crystals. Extractives were present in a high amount (23.1%) of which 88% corresponded to hydrophilic extractives (10.3% ethanol, and 10.1% water solubles). The suberin content is low (3.7%), which aligns with the small proportion of cork in the bark rhytidome. The composition of suberin is characterized by similar proportions of alpha, omega-alkanoic diacids and omega-hydroxyalkanoic acids, with 18-hydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid (26% of monomers) and octadec-9-enedioic acid (20.6%) as the main monomers. The lignin content is 21.9%, and the monomeric composition of polysaccharides includes glucose, xylose, arabinose, galactose, rhamnose, and acetyl groups. The lipophilic extractives are mainly composed of terpenoids (72.2% of all compounds), with friedelin and friedelanol as the main compounds. Hydroethanolic extracts, obtained under mild conditions with a yield of 10.2%, exhibited antioxidant activity (TBARS assay, EC50 value of 55 mu g/mL). The overall chemical and structural properties of Q. vulcanica bark indicate promising potential for biorefineries. | pt_PT |
