Wood variation in chemical properties of Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. grown in Thrissur district, Kerala

Abstract

The study shows the variation in the chemical properties of jackfruit wood in which the properties like cold water solubility, hot water solubility, alcohol benzene extractives, cellulose, hemicellulose, holocellulose, klason lignin, NaOH soluble extractives and ash content are being determined. The quality and utility of the woods obtained from different zones are thus being analysed and the data can further be used for utilization of jackfruit wood.
