The aim of the study was analysis of quantitative and qualitative extractive components extracted from hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) and yakal (Shorea astylosa Foxw.) wood. Two wood species similar to each other in terms of microscopic structure and physical properties, the native wood of Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) and the yakal wood (Shorea astylosa Foxw.) endemic to the Philippines, which is still little understood, were investigated. Wood is a material composed mainly of polymers called lignocellulose which includes: (cellulose, lignin and hemicelluloses), but also contains many extractive and mineral substances. . The extractive content of wood in temperate climates is approximately for up to 5% by weight of wood. Their identification is difficult because of the wide variety and multiplicity of compounds present. However, extractive compounds are important for the resistance of trees and wood to biological agents such as fungal infestation or insect infestation. Usually the zones of dead wood (heartwood or cored wood) are characterized by a higher content of extractives. The understanding of the chemical composition of extractives in wood can contribute to the development of wood preservative products and environmentally friendly and would be part of the green chemistry policy.

The study of selected properties of pine wood (Pinus sylvestris L.) subjected to acetylation. In the paper pine wood was subjected to acetylation with acetic anhydride and mixture of acetic anhydride and glacial acetic acid (50:50)v/v. After modification process density, WPG index, water absorbability, volume swelling and colour of wood were carried out and compared with results obtained for unmodified pine wood. Based on the obtained results the density of acetylated pine wood was increased for each group of samples. The highest WPG index was obtained for previously dried wood modified with acetic anhydride (15.6%) or mixture of acetic anhydride and glacial acetic acid (10.5%). Acetylation process with acetic anhydride or mixture of acetic anhydride and glacial acetic acid of samples, which were extracted (in chloroform-ethanol 93:7w/w mixture) and dried before modification, had beneficial effect on water absorbability of pine wood. These samples after 1001h (about 42 days) of soaking in water reached the lowest values of water absorbability (about 94%). Moreover, the volume swelling were significantly reduced for samples after double impregnation cycle (both in case of modification with acetic anhydride or mixture of acetic anhydride and glacial acetic acid). Wood after acetylation process was slightly darker than unmodified pine wood. Acetylation of samples, which were dried and soaked in DMF before modification, caused significant darkening of pine wood. The obtained colour was similar to colour of furfurylated wood (Kebony wood) or some of exotic species.
