Outline
Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Gilg is a resin containing wood in the genus Aquilaria or Gyrinops. Among them, agarwood essential oil (AEO) is the main functional active component of agarwood, which has good neuroprotective effect and is often used to soothe the body and mind, relieve anxiety and depression, and treat insomnia. A large number of studies have shown that the chemical composition of AEO mainly includes chromones, sesquiterpenoids, aromatics, fatty acids and other compounds, among which 2-(2-phenethyl) chromone and sesquiterpenoids are the characteristic components. However, there is no clear standard for AEO classification and quality testing, and the quality of AEO is uneven, which greatly affects the development of agarwood industry. The efficacy of AEO is closely related to its chemical composition. The chemical composition and content of AEO obtained from different raw materials (species, origin, induction methods and time) and different extraction methods (hydro-distillation, supercritical fluid carbon dioxide extraction, solvent extraction) are quite different. Therefore, it will be the direction of future research to establish a sound grading and quality testing standard of AEO, and reveal the internal relationships of the chemical composition of AEO with the raw materials and extraction methods. In addition, due to the increasing demand for agarwood, the wild population of agarwood species has declined rapidly, resulting in the depletion of wild resources. However, with the popularization of artificial cultivation and induction methods, the yield of agarwood has been greatly improved, which provides a research basis for further research on AEO. This article reviews the chemical components of AEO from different sources and their application prospects in neuroprotective effects, and analyzes the problems existing in the current research of AEO.
