Sheet83 compresses wood chemistry and confuses toasting/charring in adjacent discussion. This record is a paraphrase of the book, not independently verified chemical pathways; technical corroboration required before precise teaching.
Book's compressed wood-chemistry account; attribution is verified, but mechanisms and char/toast wording need technical corroboration.
Hemicellulose contributes caramelized sugars and color, lignin yields aromatic compounds such as vanillin, lipids contribute lactones, and the char layer both changes extractives and adsorbs some off-notes.

From tree to spirit: wood chemistry
September 28 fresh complete 2019 edition review: corresponding passage at physical PDF 84. Existing locator 83 remains the 2020 capture sheet, not a print page. The 2019 full index closes the work-level gap; older capture is unchanged. Book's compressed wood-chemistry account; attribution is verified, but mechanisms and char/toast wording need technical corroboration.
Capture evidence faithfully. Select one Source, record a usable locator, and preserve enough surrounding context to prevent misquotation.
Evidence
Paste the exact quote, paraphrase, statistic, definition, or source claim into Excerpt Text. Use Excerpt Type to distinguish quotation from interpretation.
Location and context
Record Locator Type, Locator Start, Locator End when needed, and Source Section. Explain the surrounding argument in Context.
Annotation
In Annotation, state why this evidence matters. Add approved Tags for retrieval and connect it to every relevant Literature Note.
