Moisture content and extractive materials in maritime pine wood by low field H-1 NMR

The low field H-1 NMR relaxometry technique has been shown to be effective in determining the qualitative and quantitative moisture content and the water state distribution in maritime pine wood (Pinus pinaster Ait). Further investigations on extractive materials in resin-rich samples evinced the presence of oleoresin components, which may disturb adhesion on pine wood boards.
