Projek ini mengkaji potensi kegunaan bagi Cerbera odollam. Keseluruhan kerja telah dibahagi kepada dua bahagian. Bahagian pertama ialah kajian tentang aktiviti antibakteria oleh ekstrak daripada bahagian berbeza Cerbera odollam. Bahagian kedua mengkaji ketahanan terhadap perosak, sifat – sifat fizikal dan mekanikal bod partikel yang diperbuat daripada partikel kayu yang telah dirawat dengan ekstrak metanolik. Sampel kayu padu dan sampel yang diimpreg dengan pengawet komersial juga diuji sebagai perbandingan. This study investigated the potential use of Cerbera odollam. The works carried out were divided into two parts. The first part is investigating the antibacterial activity of extracts from different parts of Cerbera odollam. The second part of the study investigated the decay resistance, physical and mechanical properties of particleboards made from wood particles that were impregnated with methanolic extracts of Cerbera odollam. Solid wood samples and samples treated with commercial preservative were also made as comparison.
