Gas Chromatographic Analysis of Complex Sesquiterpenes in Malaysian Agarwood Essential Oil

Aquilaria malaccensis species is widely distributed in south and south-east Asia. It is a large evergreen tree which sometimes produces resin impregnated heartwood that is fragrant and highly valuable called agarwood. Formation of agarwood is believed to occur in the trunk and roots of trees that ha...
