Abstract

The utilization of wood, especially waste of twigs of wood is influenced by chemical composition. This study aims to determine the chemical components of wood twigs. The chemical analysis which were examined covered solubilities in cold water, hot water, alcohol benzen and solubility in NaOH 1%, holocellulose, alpha-cellulose, and lignin based on the TAPPI (Technical Association of Pulp and Paper Industries) standard. The results showed that twig of Aquilaria malaccensis contains extractives that dissolves in cold water, hot water, alcohol benzen and solubility in NaOH each 2.61%; 3.28%; 33.36%, and 1% is 4.75%. While hollocelulose, alpha cellulose, and lignin are 76.55%; 45.09% and 26.55%.
