520 3 _aAgarwood species is also known as Aquilaria maleccencis which is a genus in the family of Thymelaeceae. In Malaysia, the tree of Aquilaria maleccencis is called as karas and its fragrant wood is known as gaharu. Nowadays, agarwood widely used in essential oil production industry, meditation field and incense which has been classified as one of the most highly valuable products in the world market due to its therapeutic properties. This research objective are to compare microwave extraction and hydrodistillation for their efficiency in the extract of agarwood essential oil and to analysis chemical compounds contained in a sample of agarwood by using gas-chromatography flame ionized detector (GC/FID) and gas-chromatography mass spectrometer (GC/MS). In the present work, microwave extraction has been compared with a conventional technique, hydrodistillation in terms of extraction time, extraction yield, efficiency, chemical composition, quality of the essential oils and cost of the operation. Agarwood essential oil normally has more than a hundred components and it can be analyze by using GC/FID and to determine the major compounds, GC/MS will be use to detect the compounds. For this research, microwave extraction is identified as one of the extracting methods account to the economical, high yield and ease of the operation.
