The article “Effects of Wheat Protein as a Biological Binder in the Manufacture of Particleboards Using a Mixture of Canola, Hemp, Bagasse, and Commercial Wood” by Neda Nikvash, Alireza Kharazipour, and Markus Euring, Forest Products Journal 62(1):49-57, contained instances of missing or incorrect information.

The first full sentence in the second column on p. 50 should read “Also, formaldehyde (methanal [HCHO]) values of the particleboards were determined by the perforator method but not published.”

The fifth sentence under “Board manufacture” on p. 50 was missing information and should instead read “Resins including pure UF for the middle layers, 50 percent UF and 50 percent wheat protein for the surface layers, 1 percent wax, and ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4] (1% in the middle layer and 2% in the surface layer) as a hardener were prepared, mixed together, and applied by air spray to the tumbling particles.”

The unit of measure for MOE in Table 2 on p. 51 should be “kN/mm2.”

The y axis labels in Figures 1 through 3 and 7 on pp. 52, 53, and 55 are incorrect. The correct labels are “MOR [N/mm2]” (Fig. 1), “MOE [kN/mm2]” (Fig. 2), “IB [N/mm2]” (Fig. 3), and “HCHO Emission [mg/1,000 g]” (Fig. 7).

The legend for Figure 7 on p. 55 is incorrect. It should read “Bottle method values of the panels with wheat protein binder after 24 hours.”
