Heartwood ellagitannins and volatile extractives were studied by high-pressure liquid chromatography and gas chromatography - mass spectrometry after extraction of wood samples taken from 54 mature trees of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) and sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) from 14 m...
