Extracted pine (Pinus spp.) wood and the holocellulose and cellulose fractions of pine were analyzed by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). The main sources of variation among wood constituents were elucidated by principal component analysis (PCA). Peaks characteristic of lignin or polysaccharides were identified through the combination of high mass resolution analyses of pine fractions and high lateral resolution image analyses distinguishing the lignin-rich middle lamella from the secondary cell wall layers in solid wood cross-sections. A collection of peaks was compiled which (1) extends the library of characteristic lignin and polysaccharide secondary ions in wood, (2) can be applied to both high and nominal mass resolution spectra, and (3) is free from peaks that contraindicate between wood components. The removal of additional peaks to avoid mass interferences with common contaminants was also successful Many of the characteristic peaks were high intensity fingerprint ions below m/z 100, which provided for rapid analysis of the lignin and polysaccharide biopolymers in woody samples. The analysis also identified important mass interferences with previously reported wood ions.
