ABSTRACT
The effectiveness of the hot
oil treatment process on 15 year old cultivated Acacia hybrid was studied. Accelerated laboratory durability studies were conducted
on the hot oil treated Acacia hybrid inoculated with fungi Coriolus
versicolors, Gloeophyllum trabeum and Pycnoporus sanguineus.
The logs of Acacia hybrid were harvested, segregated into bottom, middle
and top portions, and later were oil-heat treated in an organic palm oil at
temperatures of 180, 200 and 220°C for the duration of 30, 60 and 90 min. The
wood samples that were dried and ground into sawdust was air-dried again before
undergoing accelerated laboratory durability tests. Untreated samples were used
as control. The durability of the wood increases with an increase in
temperature and duration of the treatment. The hot oil treated samples could
reduce the attack of G. trabeum from 20.89%, 20.94% and 21.29% in the
control samples to 0.88-4.07%, 1.22-4.84% and 1.28-4.22% at bottom, middle and
top portions, respectively. The attack of C. versicolors were reduced
from 26.59%, 30.28% and 34.79% in the control samples to 2.89-9.41%, 3.88-16.84
and 4.27-17.34% at bottom, middle and top portions. However, the attacked of P.
sanguineus were least effective with 31.42%, 36.33% and 36.55% in control
samples to 3.26-12.55%, 4.67-15.36% and 4.69-19.22% at bottom, middle and top
portions. Massive colonization of mycelia occurs in vessels of the untreated Acacia hybrid wood in comparison to the hot oil treated wood when observed through
scanning electron microscope.

ABSTRAK
Keberkesanan proses rawatan
minyak panas terhadap hibrid Acacia ladang berumur 15
tahun dikaji. Kajian ketahanan cepat makmal telah dijalankan ke atas hibrid Acacia ini melalui inokulasi kulat Coriolus versicolors, Gloeophyllum
trabeum dan Pycnoporus sanguineus. Kayu hibrid Acacia yang
dituai, diasingkan mengikut bahagian pangkal, tengah dan atas, dan kemudian
dirawat dengan minyak panas organik kelapa sawit pada suhu 180°C, 200°C dan
220°C bagi tempoh 30 tahun, 60 dan 90 min. Kayu ini kemudiannya dikering,
dikisar menjadi serbuk dan dikering udara sekali lagi sebelum menjalani ujian
ketahanan cepat makmal. Kayu tanpa rawatan digunakan sebagai kawalan. Ketahanan
kayu yang dirawat ini didapati meningkat ketahanannya dengan peningkatan suhu
dan tempoh rawatan. Rawatan minyak panas ini dapat mengurangkan serangan G.
trabeum daripada 20.89%, 20.94% dan 21.29% dalam kayu kawalan kepada
0.88-4.07%, 1.22-4.84% dan 1.28-4.22% di bahagian bawah, bahagian tengah dan
atas kayu hibrid Acacia. Serangan C. versicolor dapat dikurangkan
daripada 26.59%, 30.28% dan 34.79% kepada 2.89-9.41%, 3.88-16.84% dan
4.27-17.34% di bahagian bawah, tengah dan atas kayu. Walau bagaimanapun, kayu
yang diserang P. sanguineus kurang berkesan dengan 31.42%, 36.33% dan
36.55% kepada 3.26-12.55%, 4.67-15.36% dan 4.69-19.22% di bahagian bawah,
bahagian tengah dan atas. Pembiakan secara besar-besaran mycelia kulat berlaku
kepada kayu hibrid Acacia yang tidak dirawat berbanding dengan kayu yang
mendapat rawatan minyak panas apabila diperhatikan melalui mikroskop elektron
imbasan.
