“A new method for determining condensed and uncondensed structures in lignin”
(The University of Waikato, 2000)This thesis describes a new analytical method to determine the levels of uncondensed (protonated C5) and condensed (bonded through C5 to other phenyl propane units) guaiacyl (G) units in lignin. This method is important ... -
Antifungal terpenoid and troponoid analogues for wood durability enhancement
(The University of Waikato, 2002)Aspects of the development of novel analogues of terpenoid and tropolone natural products with antifungal properties against important wood deteriorating fungi are reported. Antifungal wood extractives and essential oil ... -
Structural changes to Pinus radiata wood lignin during kraft pulping and bleaching
(The University of Waikato, 1999)The aim of this thesis was to improve the quality of the information available concerning the structure of native (within wood) and residual (within pulps) lignins. A better understanding of the structure of lignin will ... -
Structural characterisation and absolute stereochemistry of some degraded carotenoids from New Zealand honeys
(The University of Waikato, 1998)The structures and absolute stereochemistries of some degraded carotenoids from New Zealand native honeys were elucidated. Determination of the absolute stereochemistry of 3,5,6-trihydroxy-β-ionone was attempted by an ...
