Chemicals and controls on artificial agarwood
The high demand of agarwood in China has led to a depletion of the wild resource. Though people generally prefer the natural agarwood over the artificial due to the rarity and value of natural agarwood, producing high quality artificial agarwood seems to be the only option satisfying the needs of the market. "With the help of modern biochemical and microscopic botany studies, researchers can find out ways to improve the odor of different kinds of agarwood, the composition of odor as well as the possibility of improving growth of artificial agarwood," said Hui.

A plantation of Aquilaria tree that have been artifically rendered to produce resin to create agarwood.
Even twenty years ago, China had neither the market interest (due to the economic status of the majority of its population), nor the financial resources to spend on scientific study focusing on the creation of artificial agarwood. But today's China tells a different story, and owners of plantations nowadays work together with professors and research institutions to learn to improve the conditions for cultivating more high quality artificial. The results may yet to be perfect, but they are continuous steps towards improvement.
