The suberin is a constituent of cork cell walls, outer bark. The suberin has been known as being, in its native state, in the form of a polyestolide of hydroxy fatty acids, and can be dissolved by saponification. The elastic properties of cork have been considered to depend on the

presence of suber in.

The suberin content of the outer bark of several species was studied by Sarkov(1). He found in the bark of pine, fir, aspen, oak, and plane trees 2.0-8.3% of suberin, whereas the bark of various birch species contained 19.7-38.8%. The suberin content of the outer bark of cork oak, Ouercus suber, is par titularly high.

The saponification products of suberin of cork oak were investigated by ZETSCHE~~), who isolated phellonic acid, eicosanedicar boxylic acid, phloionic acid, and phloionolic acid from the saponification mixture. Migita et al.(3) studied on the suberin of Abemaki, Quercus variabzlis, produced in Japan, and found that the suberin of this species is composed of almost the same kind fatty acids as those of cork oak suberin. Some years ago, JENSEN(~) found that the countercurrent extraction is a very excellent method for the separation of the fatty acids obtained on the saponification of suberin, and he and his coworkers(5~6) investigated the acids of suberin of cork oak and birch in detail by applying this method.

Studies on the suberin in the outer bark of trees in the use of wood industry are important not only in regard the chemistry of bark constituents but also in connection with the utilization of bark. However, the studies on the suberin in the bark of Japanese trees are practically noneexistent outside the studies on suberin of Q. variabzlzs(3) Accordingly, the suberin contents of outer bark of 15 dicotyledonous and 16 gymnosperm trees were determined by the method of ZETSCHE~~) and the saponification products of suberin in the outer bark of Quercus acutissima, Pinus densiflora, and Ginkgo biloba were investigated in comparison with those of cork oak suberin, by countercurrent extraction method according to the JENSEN'S method(4).

The results of determination of suberin content are shown in Table 1. The outer bark of

Q suber showed particularly high suberin content, 34.0% based on the absolutely dried sample. The bark of Castanea crenata, Q. acutissima, Q serrata, Robinia pseudacacia, and G. bzloba contained 9-14% of suberin, while the suberin contents of the other species were very low. It seemed that the more suberin the bark contains the greater elastic properties it has.

The fatty acids in the saponification mixture of suberin in P densiflora, G bzloba, Q suber, and

Q.

actissima outer barks were studied by the method of JENSEN.(~) The soap mixture was produced by saponifying the extracted and sulfite-treated outer bark with the alcoholic KOH solution It was then freed from betulinol and other neutral organic materials. The soap sample was dissolved in a dilute sodium hydroxide solution and then was hydrochloric acid added to

I n this way, crystals of methyl esters of phellonic acid (I), eicosanedicarboxylic acid (11), and a n acid,

T h e results for

suber bark suberin a r e in accord with the results obtained by ZE'TSCHE(~)

and also by JENSEN 4 . However, the suberin of the other 3 species gave only phellonic acid and eicosanedicarboxylic acid. T h e saponification products from Q.. subere bark suberin were composed mainely of white crystallline substances, whereas those from the subesin of Q. a c u t i s s i m a and

G.

biloba contained much oily substances and gave less crystalline substances. P. dens<flora bark suberin gave comparatively more crystalline substances. This indicates that the constituents of suberin differ by species, and also that the materials which have been obtained by applying the suberin determination method of ZE.TSCHE(~) are much variable by species.

1. Determination of suberin.

Five g of finely ground outer bark was successively extracted 2 days with ether, 2 days with alcohol, and 4 x 2 hours with 150 ml of a 5% solution of Na2S03 in water. The purified bark was saponified with 200 ml of a 3% solution of KOH in alcohol for 3 hours. The mixture was filtered through a glass filter. The unsaponified substance was once more boiled with lOOml of alcohol and then filtered through the same filter as above. T h e alcoholic filtrates were combined, and the alcohol was distilled off by vacuum evaporation. T h e residue was dissolved in a small amount of water and the solution was acidified by adding hydrochloric acid. The acidic mixture was shaken with 3 x 100 ml of ether in a separating funnel. The ether was evaporated and the extract was dried and weighed.

2. Preparation of the soap.

Finely ground outer bark(200-500g) was extracted successively 5 days with ether, 5days with alcohol, and 4 x 2 hours with 5% solution of Naz SO3 in water. The purified bark was refluxed in an alcoholic KOH solution. The mixture was filtered and most of the alcohol was distilled off. Small amounts of KOH were added until the solution remained slightly alkaline to phenol- phtalein after boiling. The rest of the alcohol was then evaporated and the residue was dried on a water bath. The soap was extracted with ether by grinding it in small portions to remove betulinol and other extractable substances of the outer bark.

3. Preparation of the methyl esters.

The soap was weighed to contain 10 g of the cork fatty acids and dissolved in distilled water. The solution was acidified to pH 2 with hydrochloric acid and the liberated acids were extracted with ether by shaking in a separating funnel The ether solution was dried with sodium sulfate, cooled to about O°C, and then diazomethane in ether was added with stirring. T h e reaction mixture was allowed to stand overnight and the excess of ether and diazomethane was distilled off,

4. Chr omatogr aphy-1.

The ether solution of the methyl esters was introduced on a column of about 150g of alumina (200-300 mesh), 3.2 cm in diameter The elution was carried out with ether and then with alcohol, taking each 100 ml of eluted solution for every fraction, as presented in Table 2, 4, 6, and 8.

5. Chromatography-2.

About 1 g of white fine crystals which taken in the fractions No. 1-4 of the chromatography

1 was dissolved in a 9 : 1 mixture of petroleum ether (b.p 32-40°C) and ethyl ether and introduced on a column of about 25 g of alumina (200-300 mesh), 2.5 cm in diameter. The course of the elution is shown in Table 3, 5, 7, and 9 Each 50 ml of eluted solution was taken for every fraction.

6. Purification of the methyl esters and the acids.

Crystals of the methyl esters were repeatedly recr ystalized from petroleum ether respectively to a constant melting point. The recrystalized methyl esters were saponified by refluxing 30 minutes with an excess of 0.5 N alcoholic alkali. T h e alcohol was evaporated, the residue

Vol. 20, No. 2 (1969) 119 dissolved in water, the solution acidified, and the acids taken up in ether. The acids were recrystalized repeatedly from ether respectively to a constant melting point. Melting point of the pu~ified substances was respectively 96-96.5"C and 74-76°C for phellonic acid and its methyl ether, 123-124°C and 71-72°C f o ~ eicosanedicarboxylic acid and its methyl ether, and 81-82°C and 40-40.5"C for the acid, C18 H34 O4 and its methyl ether.
