Hydrodistillation and soxhlet extraction of agarwood leaf extract from Aquilaria malaccensis

Agarwood (A. malaccensis) is a valuable tree; highly sought after the resin and its essential oil. It also possesses bioactive compounds that are beneficial for health. However, less is focused on the agarwood leaf despite the recorded use in traditional medicine. As such, this present work focuse...
