The characterization and biodegradation of aspen steryl esters and waxes

Steryl esters and waxes are major contributors to pitch deposition when aspen is pulped. To overcome this problem attempts have been made to identify these compounds. The first part of this thesis focuses on the identification of these compounds using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)....
