Abstract

Hemicellulose fractions were isolated from oak wood ethanol extracts (40–90%). To determine the composition of these fractions, they were hydrolyzed and the hydrolysis products in the form of trimethylsilyl derivatives were analyzed by GLC/MS. Depending on the content of the ethanol, hemicelluloses of a different composition were extracted from wood. In alcohols that were kept in oak wood, intended for manufacturing brandy and whisky, the content of the hemicelluloses increased depending on the duration of storage. It is assumed that this makes drinks more full-bodied and makes them softer.
