G. Vazquez et al., Characterization of Pinus pinaster bark and its alkaline extracts by diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared (DRIFT) spectroscopy, HOLZ ROH WE, 58(1-2), 2000, pp. 57-61
DRIFT Spectroscopy has been used to determine the Klason lignin and the pol
yflavonoids contents of Pinus pinaster bark and of the raffinates obtained
after an alkaline extraction, and also the Stiasny number of the correspond
ing extracts. By means of a stepwise regression analysis a selection of the
DRIFT spectra bands which allow to correlate satisfactorily the experiment
al results has been made.
