Sandalwood Oil, East Indian. The use of sandalwood oil for its perfumery value is ancient, probably extending back some 4000 years. Oil from the powdered wood and roots of the tree Santalum album L. is produced primarily in India, under government control. Good quaUty oil is a pale yellow to yellow viscous Hquid characterized by an extremely soft, sweet—woody, almost ariimal—balsarnic odor. The extreme tenacity of the aroma makes it an ideal blender—fixative for woody-Oriental—floral fragrance bases. It also finds extensive use for the codistillation of other essential oils, such as rose, especially in India. There the so-called attars are made with sandalwood oil distilled over the flowers or by distillation of these flowers into sandalwood oil. The principal constituents of sandalwood oil are shown in Table 11 (37) and Figure 2. 

Amyris Oil. Obtained by steam distillation of the wood of y m hakamijera L., the so-called West Indian sandalwood which is indigenous to northern South America, Central America, and the West Indies, amyris oil [8015-65-4] is a pale yellow to brownish yellow viscous oil with a slightly oily-sweet and occasionally peppery balsamic woody note. It finds use as a blender and fixative for soap fragrances. The volatile constituents, which are primarily hydrocarbon and oxygenated sesquiterpenes, are shown in Table 22 and Figure 5 (63). 

Bois de Rose. Bois de rose oil is obtained by steam distillation of wood chips from South American rosewood trees, Aniba rosaeodora. The tree, a wild evergreen, grows mainly in the Amazon basin. The oil is used as obtained in perfumery for its sweet, woody-floral odor and as a source of linalool [78-70-6] (3), which it contains to the extent of 70%. Linalool distilled from bois de rose oil is also used directly in perfumery and for conversion to esters, eg, the acetate (1).

Holy Bible, Exodus, Chap. 15, verses 22-25 "... so Moses brought the sons of Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the desert of Sur. And they marched three days in the wilderness and found no water to drink. And then they arrived at Merra and they could not drink from the waters of Merra because they were bitter.. .. And the people murmured against Moses saying What shall we drink And Moses cried unto the Lord. And the Lord showed him a wood and he put it into the water and the water became sweet .

Organic materials Corrosive vapours are sometimes emitted by organic materials used either in packaging or in the manufactured article, and may be troublesome in confined spaces. Some woods, particularly unseasoned oak and sweet chestnut, produce acetic acid (see Section 18.10), and certain polymers used in paints, adhesives and plastics may liberate such corrosive vapours as formic acid and hydrogen sulphide . It may be necessary to carry out exposure trials, particularly where materials capable of liberating formaldehyde or formic acid are involved. Most corrosion problems of this kind can be prevented by using desiccants, and in many cases they are confined to imperfectly cured materials. For an excellent review see Reference 9. 

One way to avoid the use of any preservative is to use wood that is naturally resistant to decay. The heartwood of more naturally rot-resistant species, such as oak, can be used untreated. Other woods that last well without treatment are larch, which will last about 10 years in contact with the soil, or up to 20 years if not in contact with soil Western red cedar, which will give service for about 20 years and sweet chestnut, traditionally used for fence palings and posts. Untreated pine lasts for about five years. Well-seasoned wood that has been allowed to dry out evenly is more expensive than greenwood (freshly cut undried wood), but in its favor, it tends to last longer and can be less prone to distortion as it weathers. 

In the United States, woods which have been used for tight cooperage include white oak, red oak, chestnut oak, red or sweet gum, sugar maple, yellow or sweet birch, white ash, Douglas fir, beech, black cherry, sycamore, redwood, spruce, bald cypress, elm, and basswood (2, 3, 4). In Europe, cooperage for wine or brandy has been made from... 

Dye woods and barks are sold in lumps or ground or powdered, or as dyeing extracts. The latter are aqueous decoctions of the materials and are met with either as more or less dense liquids or in the dry state as cakes, irregular or, rarely, crystalline fragments, or powder. They are usually brown or yellowish and they have a sweet taste, almost or quite free from astringency they bum with emission of the odour of burning vegetable matter and leave little ash they are more or less completely soluble in water and sometimes also in alcohol. 

Fungal Decay of Woods. Blocks of sweet gum and southern pine sapwood were inoculated with test fungi by the standard soil-block method (7). The test fungi were the brown rots Poria monticolla and Lentinus lepidius and the white rot Polyporus versicolor. As a control, one block of pine and one block of gum were left in the sterilized soil-block chambers in which the fungus had been started on feeder blocks and then sterilized.
