Analisys of Chemical Compound in Some of Agarwood Quality by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry

This paper presents the resin content and the chemical composition of some of agarwood quality using gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The quality of agarwood that tested are kemedangan C, teri C, kacangan C and super AB. The results showed that the extracts yield of various solvent of agarwood are decreasing from super AB toward kacangan C, teri C, and kemedangan C. The agarwood samples contain furan compounds and ester aromatic groups that responsible for agarwood's nice scent. This research showed that traditional agarwood quality classification were not objectives.
