Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of four different kinds of agarwood and analysis chemical constituents by GC-MS.
Methods: Four source plants were two of Vietnamese agarwood, Indonesian agarwood and Myanmar agarwood. These plant materials were named sample No. 1-4. The chemical constituents of each agarwood were analysed by GC-MS.
Results: GC-MS analysis showed that β-selinene was found in all the samples. The Vietnamese agarwood, Sample 1, and 4 has contained 6.861% and 7.497% of β-selinene and reached the highest level at the retention times 46.245 and 46.274 (min). Sample 2, the Myanmar agarwood has contained 1.608%, the lowest level of β-selinene, and it also has contained about 20% of α―,β―,δ-eudesmol and 4.076% of valerianol. Sample 3, the Indonesian agarwood has contained 9.59% of β-selinene, 9.493% of β-selinene and shown its highest level (more than 19%) at the retention time 43.998 (min).
Conclusion: It suggested that -selinene could be a standard marker to evaluate agarwood by GC-MS analysis.
