“…On the other hand, filtrates from biomass slurry fuel/wood vinegar from sugi and acacia wood had no important termiticidal activity against C. formosanus. Though high acetic and lactic acids content of the wood vinegar, the presence of vanillin in sugi and acacia wood vinegar may have served as an additional food source and promoted termite attack 20 . …”

Termiticidal activity of wood vinegar from Toona sinensis (TS) sawdust has been evaluated against Coptotermes curvignathus. TS wood vinegar was produced at 250-300°C pyrolysis temperature, and a no-choice test was applied for evaluating termiticidal activity with thirty-three active termites. The concentrations of TS wood vinegar in the dried filter paper was prepared to 0% (solvent only), 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%. The TS wood vinegar showed strong termiticidal activity and that concentrations of wood vinegar significantly influenced mortality of termite. The termite mortality increased when the concentration of wood vinegar increased, at a concentration of 8% all termites dead after 3 days tested. Forty constituents were characteristic on the basis of GC-MS data, and 33 components were identified. The organic compounds in TS wood vinegar were classified into carboxylic acids, phenols, ketones, amides, aldehydes, furans, esters, alcohols, sugar derivative, and ether, and among of this components, acetic acid comprised 57.43%. The contents of organic fraction of TS wood vinegar and largely acetic acid might be responsible for the termiticidal activity. Base on physicochemical properties, TS wood vinegar has a good quality as well.

“…contains mainly 3.5 to 4.0% acetic acid and 80 to 90% water with some strong antifungal compounds such as guaiacol, cresol, 4-ethyl-2-methoxyphenol, and 2, 6-dimethoxyphenol (Yatagai and Unrinin 1989;Ikergami et al 1992;Kim et al 2001). The antifungal compounds such as carboxylic acids and phenols derived from cellulose and lignin, respectively, are considered as volatile organic compounds (Kartal et al 2004;Nakai et al 2007). Thus, it is considered that NVWV was more effective than VWV because the antifungal compounds were vaporized during the preparation process of VWV.…”

“…There is no evidence to support the identification of volatile compounds as polyphenolic compounds, though 2,6-dimethoxy phenol was described as the main component of wood vinegar; this is a volatile substance that could improve resistance of wood against termite and fungi attack (Sameshima et al 2002;Yatagai et al 2002 andKartal et al 2004;Nakai et al 2007).…”

“…Several species are known, whose heartwood is relatively resistant to termite feeding. The impact on termites of a number of chemical compounds contained in the heartwood of those trees (BECKER & PETROWITZ 1971, BECKER et al 1972, NAKAYAMA et al 2001, as well as in filtrates obtained during the production of fuel from biomass (KARTAL et al 2004), was examined a fairly long time ago. In recent years, research has focused on the natural resistance of various wood species from Alaska, of economic significance in the USA (GRACE & YAMAMOTO 1994), as well as some American wood species used in the production of panelling (KARD et al 2007).…”

ABSTRACT. The article presents the results of tests of the degree of damage to Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) woods by the termite Reticulitermes lucifugus. Both wood species are classified as "susceptible to destruction by termites" in the EN 350-2:2000 standard. The procedures described in the ASTM D 3345-08 standard (2009) were applied in the experiments. During laboratory coercion tests, wood samples from these two species were damaged to a degree between light attack and moderate attack with penetration. Recent Scots pine sapwood was damaged to a heavy degree. The results can be associated with the much higher density of hornbeam wood as compared to Scots pine sapwood. The mortality rate of the termites in the test containers with both wood species was similar and low, no greater than 10%. In the light of the results, the classification of the susceptibility of native wood species to termite feeding, as stated in the EN 350-2:2000 standard, appears to be oversimplified.
