Volatile needle oil production is one of the alternatives available in green forest
biomass utilization. Conifer forests residues such as twigs and foliage (needles) represent an
important potential raw-material for this type chemical processing. Potential of conifer forest residues
based on the pine species from forests managed by Serbiaforests:
Pinus nigra and Pinus
sylvestris, spruce Picea abies, fir
Abies alba and Juniperus
communis is investigated. Mobile
distillery application is recommended for production of volatile oils from foliage available in state
forests of Serbia.
Keywords: technical foliage, native conifers of Serbia, anatomical properties, volatile
oils production, steam distillation, terpene composition
