Abstract

Aquilaria, renowned for its agarwood, and valued for its aromatic wood and rich resin, finds use in cosmetics, fragrances, incense, and medicine. Identifying the agarwood-producing species among 21 species of Aquilaria is challenging. This study analyzes chemical compounds in agarwood oil from 4 Aquilaria species: Aquilaria beccariana, Aquilaria crassna, Aquilaria malaccensis, and Aquilaria subintegra using gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID). Statistical analysis explores compound abundance, employing methods like mean and Z-score tests. This analysis summarizes those 14 compounds that are consistently present based on zero and non-zero observations, and the Z-score test highlights five chemical compounds, with three compounds appearing in both analyses. These compounds can serve as a reference for future studies on Aquilaria species and agarwood oil, enhancing classification efforts.
