Product Introduction

Eaglewood extract, also known as agarwood or oud extract, is derived from the resinous heartwood of Aquilaria species trees. When these trees are infected by specific fungi, they produce a dark, aromatic resin as a defense mechanism. The extract contains compounds such as sesquiterpenes and chromones, contributing to its distinctive fragrance. Traditionally, it has been used in perfumery, traditional medicine, and incense.

Production Process

The extraction of eaglewood essential oil involves several steps:

  1. Raw Material Preparation: The resinous heartwood is cleaned and crushed into small pieces.
  2. Soaking: The crushed wood is soaked in water or ethanol to facilitate the release of aromatic compounds.
  3. Extraction: Techniques such as hydro-distillation or supercritical carbon dioxide extraction are employed to obtain the essential oil. citeturn0search1
