| Abstrak/Abstract |
Jabon (Anthocephalus spp.) is a fast-growing species with considerable potential for pulp and paper
production in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the chemical component in wood and bark of 10-year-old
Anthocephalus cadamba (families 23, 11, and 6) and 5-year-old Anthocephalus macrophyllus (families 75, 85, and 2) in
the bottom part of the trees. The results showed that chemical properties of A. cadamba in the wood and bark, i.e.,
holocellulose, α-cellulose, hemicellulose, and Klason lignin content ranged from 62.66 to 75.75%, 32.42 to 48.43%,
26.72 to 34.42%, and 22.80 to 35.10%, respectively. The levels of holocellulose and α-cellulose in these species are in
the high class. High holocellulose and cellulose content indicates high pulp yield, which will benefit the pulp and paper
industry, especially F6 and F2. |
