Hydrophilic Extractives in Heartwood of European Larch (Larix decidua Mill.)

The heartwood of two European larch trees was examined for the content of hydrophilic extractives. Ethanol was used as a solvent for extractions of adequately pretreated samples, while gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection (GC-FID), gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS...
