Additionally, the total synthesis of the key agarwood component, guaia-6,10(14)-diene, a sesquiterpene, is reported. Based on these findings, this paper aims to establish standards for high-quality agarwood.

Superheated Steam Distillation (SHSD): Also performed at varying temperatures, revealing the highest EO yield at 160°C (19.92%).

Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE-CO2): Compared to other methods, SHSD at 120°C yielded EO with the highest antioxidant activity (DPPH-FRSA 63.33% ± 0.47%, linoleic acid oxidation inhibition rate 96.55% ± 1.71%, hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity 59.42% ± 0.32%, total antioxidant capacity/FRAP 134.49% ± 1.34 mg/L gallic acid equivalents) and antibacterial activity.

Chemical Composition Analysis

Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to determine the chemical composition of EOs. Supercritical extraction yielded agarwood oil with a lower proportion of sesquiterpenes (23.78%) but a higher content of chromones (29.42%), indicating a richer and more diverse composition. Steam distillation, on the other hand, produced oil dominated by sesquiterpenes (68.68%).

The agarwood oil extracted by supercritical extraction outperformed steam distillation in antioxidant assays (DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl radical scavenging, and total reducing power tests).

In antibacterial tests, EO extracted by SHSD at 120°C exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect against various pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis.

III. Standards for High-Quality Agarwood

Based on the study findings, the following standards for high-quality agarwood are proposed:

Chemical Composition: While sesquiterpene content is crucial, it should not be the sole criterion. High-quality agarwood should contain at least a certain proportion of sesquiterpenes (suggested to be no less than the average level from traditional steam distillation, i.e., 68.68%), accompanied by a significant amount of chromones and other active components, reflecting its compositional diversity and complexity.

Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities: High-quality agarwood should demonstrate robust antioxidant capabilities (e.g., DPPH-FRSA > 60%, FRAP values close to or exceeding the highest levels reported) and effective inhibition against multiple pathogens (e.g., significantly lower MIC values).

Extraction Method: Given SHSD's comprehensive advantages in yield, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities, it is recommended as the preferred or optimized extraction technique for high-quality agarwood.

IV. Conclusion and Outlook

This paper proposes standards for high-quality agarwood by analyzing the impact of various extraction methods on red pine oleoresin EO and agarwood oil. Future research should further explore agarwood's potential pharmacological effects, optimize new extraction technologies, and investigate the application of synthetic chemistry in the sustainable production of agarwood components. Additionally, strengthening market regulation and product quality control is crucial for promoting the healthy development of the agarwood industry.

Mature Trees with Proven Age: All Allsunnyenergy Agarwood oud Aquilaria trees are over 15 years old, with an average trunk diameter ranging from 25cm to 55cm.

Patented Technology with 16-Month Natural Fermentation for Premium Quality: Employing a patented method involving microorganisms to naturally induce agarwood formation through the tree's ducts, typically after an injury. This 16-month natural fermentation process ensures the authenticity and quality of the agarwood. The technological breakthrough in efficient agarwood formation is the result of comparing traditional artificial wounding, growth regulators, inorganic salts, and whole-tree agarwood induction techniques using microbial food-grade fungal solutions. By exploring the xylem structure, stem respiration, and volatile oil formation mechanisms during agarwood development, an integrated technology for efficient agarwood formation has been achieved. The use of fungal solution infusion (500ml injected every 80cm) effectively induces agarwood formation in Aquilaria sinensis, and after 16 months, the ethanol extract content in the xylem meets pharmacopoeia standards, resulting in an essential oil content of over 68.68% sesquiterpenoids, enhancing the efficiency of agarwood formation.

Clinically Validated with Over 68.68% Sesquiterpenoids: The agarwood oil extracted from Aquilaria trees containing over 68.68% sesquiterpenoids has been clinically tested and verified for medicinal and edible purposes, adhering to international pharmacopoeia standards. It is currently undergoing clinical trials approved by China's healthcare authorities and scientists.

Extensive Plantation Area: Over 3.33 million square meters of Aquilaria oud plantation land.

Optimal Soil Selenium Levels: The precise measurement of selenium content in the soil of the agarwood cultivation areas ranges from 0.102 to 1.866 μg/g, with an average of 0.789 μg/g, equivalent to approximately 490 to 1540 ppm. This moderate selenium level enhances the antioxidant capacity and disease resistance of Aquilaria trees, contributing to their healthy growth and improved agarwood quality.

Sustainable Production Capacity: With over 500,000 Aquilaria oud trees, the current plantation area can support nearly 30 years of internal circulation of raw materials for Aquilaria agarwood. The 24-hour extraction process ensures high-yield production of agarwood oil, ranking among the top three in China's agarwood industry chain.

Extensive Research and Development: Supported by over 20 Ph.D. and Master's degree holders specializing in agarwood research from institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Microbiology, Academy of Life Sciences, and Brain Science Institute, conducting long-term research and experiments to advance the field.
