沉香结香方法与技术研究进展

Research Progress on the Agarwood-Induced Method and Technology

沉香是沉香属木质部组织及其分泌物共同组成的天然混合物质,是一种“药香”两用材,经济价值高,用途广,可用于制药、香熏、日化产品等。沉香的形成受外界胁迫,次生代谢物的合成及积累,为一个偶然、长期的过程,致使野生沉香数量稀少,难以满足沉香市场的需求,人工诱导结香成为了沉香产业发展的必然之路。目前,已有通过人工方法诱导沉香形成,但其产量高低不一,质量参差不齐。文章对结香方法和技术进行总结,为提高人工沉香的产量和质量以及沉香产业化发展提供依据。

Agarwood is a natural mixed substance composed of Aquilaria xylem tissue and its secretions. It is a dual-purpose material for medicine and aroma products with high economic value and use and can be used in pharmaceuticals, aromatherapy, perfume, and daily chemical products. The formation of agarwood is subject to external stress, leading to the synthesis and accumulation of secondary metabolites, which is an accidental and long-term process, resulting in the scarcity of wild agarwood, making it hard to meet the demand of the agarwood market. Induced artificial agarwood has become an inevitable way to develop the agarwood industry. Currently, the formation of agarwood has been induced by artificial methods, but the yield and quality of the resulting material vary. The summary of agarwood-forming methods and techniques provides a basis for improving the production of artificial agarwood and the development of agarwood industrialization.
