ABSTRACT:
A process for the treatment of essential oils per se and wood containing essential oils to convert a substantial portion of the oils to wood sugars and to change the structure of wood to render the same susceptible to bacterial action. It is to be noted that the essential oils are inhibitors of bacterial growth and as such they prevent wood from being digestible by bacteria. The process consists essentially in blending the essential oils or immersing wood particles containing essential oils into an electrolyte solution which may be formed by common salts such as NaCl. Passing an electrical current through the solution, using a metal anode which is eaten away during the process, converts the oils to wood sugars and also changes the wood structure in such a manner as to render the same susceptible to digestion by bacteria such as Rumen flora and Termite flora.
