Causes and Removal of Daemonorops margaritae Cane’s Discoloration

Abstract:

Through chemical composition analysis, scanning electron microscope observation, stain-fungi isolation from stained canes and their inoculation on unstained canes, as well as xenon light aging study, causes of Daemonorops margaritae cane’s discoloration were investigated. Results show that the yellow discoloration is mainly chemical photo-induced and the blue, brown and red stains are mainly resulted from the stain-fungi’s mycelia colors or secreted pigments. A treatment with hydrogen peroxide solution as main bleaching agent was explored. All the above discoloration could be effectively removed and renewed to be attractive lustrous yellowish.
