phenols from 100 g of wood ranges from 50 isobutyric, butyric, crotonic, isocrotonic,
to 5000 mg. This fraction includes com- valeric, isovaleric, heptanoic, caprylic, and
pounds containing one, two, or three hydroxyl nonanoic (Kłossowska 1979). Among the
groups bound to the benzene ring, besides dicarboxylic acids are oxalic, malonic,
alkyl or ether derivatives, as well as those fumaric, maleic, and succinic acids. Wood
containing additional alcohol, aldehyde, acid, smoke also contains several ketocarboxylic
and ester groups. Therefore, they differ in acids. In the esters group, the methyl esters
water solubility, boiling point, sensitivity to of formic, acetic, butyric, and acrylic acids
oxidation, chemical reactivity, sensory prop- were identified, as well as the benzoic acid
erties, and antibacterial activity. Among the ethyl ester.
