Abstract

Prior to hydro distillation, pre-treatment of agarwood chips by soaking is essential to enhance the oil yield. Soaking technique used in this work is immersion technique, with water as soaking medium. During soaking, the pH fluctuates as a result of acid bleaching and minerals released from agarwood. It was found that extraction with soaked samples able to achieve stable temperature approximately 1 hour faster than unsoaked sample. Hence, soaking has play a vital role in agarwood overall extraction process.

Key Words   
pH profile, temperature profile, soaking, agarwood
