Pyrolysis molecule of Torreya grandis bark for potential biomedicine

Abstract EN

Torreya grandis is a unique tree species in China.

Although full use has been made of the timber, the processing and utilization of the bark has not been effective.

In order to explore a new way to utilize the bark of Torreya grandis, a powder of T.

grandis bark was prepared and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively.

Differential scanning calorimetry (TG) and pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (PY-GC/MS) revealed many bioactive components in the bark of T.

grandis, such as acetic acid, 2-methoxy-4-vinyl phenol, D-mannose, and furfural.

These substances have potential broad applications in the chemical industry, biomedicine, and food additives.

The chemical constituents of the bark of T.

grandis suggest a theoretical basis for the future development and utilization of the bark of T.

grandis.
