The comparative thermal and chemical study was done on five mediterranean plants: Acacia dealbata, Quercus coccifera, Rosmarinus officinalis, Thymus vulgaris, Ulex parviflorus. Results were independent of the drying way of samples (110°C, 60°C or lyophilisation). The correlation between the maximum decomposition rate at about 300°C and the content of cellulose was confirmed. The samples cut on the same foot of Ulex parviflorus, in spring, produced, for the thorns and sprigs, a minimum in cellulose content, and a maximum in lignine content. The results were inverse in winter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
