A study was made of the effects of extraction with various solvents on the heat content of wood, bark, branches and foliage of Melaleuca quinquenervia and Eucalyptus grandis. The effect of extractives was measured by the difference in calorific values between extracted and unextracted samples. Ether or chloroform extractives produced more heat per g when burned than did methanol extractives or the structural components of the biomass sample. The effect of these extractives on the heat value of the materials was statistically significant though small.
