Popis: | Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) condensate from a steaming operation was collected and analyzed. The condensate exhibited a low pH, and contained carbohydrates and phenolic compounds. A total of five phenolic acids and aldehydes (syringic acid, vanillic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, syringaldehyde, vanillin) were identified. TLC of the carbohydrates showed the presence of glucose, galactose, xylose, mannose and/or arabinose in the condensate. Fructose, saccharose, raffinose and stachyose were also identified. The COD, BOD5, pH, conductivity and suspended solids (TSS) were determined. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the beech condensate varied from 2016 to 1393O mg/L. This value is two to three fold higher than the corresponding biological oxygen demand (BOD5). |
