hardwood species, viz. bhadi (Lannea coromandelica), bahera (Terniinalia belerica),
haritaki (Tarminalia chebula), jam (Syzygium sp.) kanak (Schima wallichii), minjiri
(Cassia simaea), batna (Quercus spj, goda (Vite.x peduncularis), gutguttya (Protium
surratum), homalium (Homalium bhamanse), itchri (Anogeissus acuminata) and
nageshwar (Mesneferrea) were studied to determine their pulp making characteristics.
An active alkali change of 14% and sulfidity of 25% were used in all cooks. It has
been observed that most of these species produce good quality pulp.
