Comparison between chemical compounds in gaharu smoke (burning) and gaharu oil (hidrodistillation)

Gaharu is known as one of the most expensive wood in the world. It is valued in many cultures for its distinctive fragrance, and used extensively in incense and perfumes. The gaharu that was used in this study is grade C gaharu from peninsular of Malysia or known as ‘karas’ among the locals. The obj...

The objective of this study is to determine the different between chemical compounds exist in gaharu smoke and gaharu oil. For burning process, the smoke was trapped using sample bottles and then was analyzed using GC-MS. Meanwhile for extraction process, the gaharu was extracted using hidrodistillation method.
