Forest Tree, Agarwood, Aquilaria Spp., Aromatic And Medicinal Value, Induction TechnologyAbstract [English]
Agarwood is a highly valuable fragrant wood of Aquilaria spp. It is used for incense, perfume, traditional medicine, and other products in all over the world. The chemical constitutes of agarwood include 2-(2-phenylethyl)-4H-chromen-4-one derivatives, terpenoids (sesquiterpenes), flavonoids etc.The aromatic properties and resin character of agarwood are influence by the species, geographical distribution. This review emphasizes the mass cultivation of Aquilaria tree. Mass cultivation by various induction technologies which serve as a sustainable source to obtain agarwood is necessary in order to increase agarwood supply in the global market.
