    Tatjana Stevanovic Janezic1, Dragica Vilotic1, Biljana Bujanovic1 and Slobodan Vucicevic2

    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
