Descripción: During the steps employed in the conversion of the standing tree to wood pulp about two-thirds of the original plant material is discarded, and of the many hundreds of compounds present in the tree only cellulose is utilized to an important extent. Because of the immense volume of timber cut even minor tree constituents are potentially available in large quantities. Thus the volatile oil content of the waste coniferous foliage cut annually in Canada is in excess of ten million pounds. No detailed knowledge of the composition of these oils has hitherto been available.
