Quality of Wood Vinegar from Neem trees, Eucalyptus trees, Corn trees, and Mango leaves

Abstract

     This experimental research aimed to study quality of wood vinegar from neem trees, eucalyptus trees, corn trees, and mango leaves which produced by burning with 200 liter flat tank and identified chemical component by Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry. The result found that all wood vinegar have good standard quality.  The wood vinegar of neem trees comprised with 23 compounds which the most common compound was acetic acid (44.43%), the secondly compound was formic acid (30.44%). The wood vinegar of eucalyptus trees comprised with 31 compounds which the most common compound was acetic acid (39.94%), secondly compound was peracetic acid (23.09%). The wood vinegar of corn trees comprised with 7 compounds which the most common compound was acetic acid (53.72%), secondly compound was peracetic acid (25.14%). The wood vinegar of mango leaves comprised with 10 compounds which the most common compound was acetic acid (43.30%), secondly compound was formic acid (35.47%). Compounds were found in 4 types of wood vinegar have properties to kill bacteria, fungi and viruses. Those compounds can be developed for use in medicine, livestock, household cleaning products for reduce using antibiotics in humans and animals and household chemicals.
