Description

Method of producing agarwood resin

The present invention relates to a method of forming a resin, and more particularly to a method of artificially producing agarwood resin.

Agarwood is a mixture of agarwood resin and wood. Its main components include Sesquiterpenes, 2-(2-Phenylethyl)chromone, Triterpenoids, Aromatics and fatty acids, agarwood has a special odor due to the above ingredients, so it can be extracted as a spice; agarwood after dryness can be used as a Chinese herbal medicine, which has the effect of strengthening the heart and nerves; and can engrave the agarwood As an ornament, agarwood has considerable economic value due to the above various uses.

In order to make the agarwood tree produce agarwood, the following conditions are required: First, the agarwood tree needs to have a certain age and has a well-developed resin gland so that a large amount of secretion with a special odor can be generated; and the agarwood tree needs to suffer from a knife wound, a tree worm The bite, the branches are decayed or infected by microorganisms. The above destruction of the agarwood tree will induce the resin gland to produce a secretion with a special odor, which will promote the healing of the injured tissue, and the secretion of the special odor can be combined with the wood. Known as agarwood. However, the process of naturally forming agarwood generally takes more than 40 years, and the probability of occurrence of the above situation is less than 10%. Even agarwood trees with good resin glands may not produce agarwood in their lifetime.

Therefore, the natural agarwood produced on the market is very rare, most of the agarwood is artificially generated, such as deliberately causing wounds on the epidermis of the agarwood tree and preventing wound healing; or perforating the agarwood tree, and Injecting a bacterial liquid that can cause agarwood resin to form agarwood The tree is infected, and the agarwood tree is induced to produce a special smell secretion in the wound or infection, thereby achieving the purpose of producing agarwood. On the other hand, the agarwood tree which produces the agarwood resin can be utilized because it has a special aroma and has commercial value.

However, whether agarwood resin is produced in a natural or artificial manner, agarwood will only produce a secretion with a special odor at the wound or infected site. Therefore, if you want to produce a lot of agarwood, you need to expand the range of damage to the agarwood tree, but too much trauma may cause the agarwood tree to lose nutrients and cause death. Even if the agarwood tree survives, the agarwood tree's epidermis is incomplete after removing the agarwood. The area may cause the agarwood to be no longer used, so the method of producing agarwood in the prior art still needs to be improved.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method for producing agarwood resin, which can generate a large amount of agarwood resin without extensively destroying the epidermis of the agarwood tree, thereby reducing the probability that the agarwood tree cannot transport nutrients and can maintain the agarwood tree. The integrity of the epidermis.

In order to achieve the above object, the method for producing agarwood resin of the present invention comprises: preparing a fragrant tree; forming a plurality of injection holes on the trunk of the agarwood tree, the injection holes communicating with the xylem of the agarwood; and The pump is pressurized to inject a gas, and the xylem of the agarwood tree is destroyed without injecting liquid to cause the agarwood resin to form agarwood resin.

According to the above technical means, the pressurized gas injected into the injection hole of the invention can damage the xylem of the agarwood tree in a wide range, so that the agarwood can be induced to produce a special odor secretion at the wound, thereby generating agarwood resin, and Mixing with wood to form agarwood; since the invention can extensively destroy the xylem of the agarwood tree, the amount of injection hole formation can be reduced compared to the method of perforating the bacterial liquid, thereby reducing the range of trauma caused to the agarwood tree and reducing the agarwood tree The possibility of death; Compared with the prior art, the problem that the cutting of the agarwood tree in the past manufactures the wound causes the appearance of the agarwood tree to be poor or the agarwood tree to die is overcome, and the agarwood resin can be formed more quickly than the method of punching the bacteria liquid.

Aquilaria tree above refers to all the trees can produce agarwood resin, and comprising Thymelaeaceae (of Aquilaria), Euphorbiaceae (Euphorbiaceae), Olive Branch (Burseracrae) and camphor Section (Lauraceae) of the plant; wherein Thymelaeaceae further including India sinensis Aquilaria Agallocha , Aquilaria Ganadensis , Aquilaria Malaccensis , Aquilaria Vulgaris , Aquilaria Grassna , Aquilaria Moskowskii , Sink Plants of Aquilaria Sinensis and Aquilaria Kajugaru .

In particular, the present invention additionally controls the pressurized injection gas to a pressure in the range of 15 psi to 30 psi to prevent pressure from exceeding the range that the agarwood can withstand.

In order to maintain the integrity of the trunk of the agarwood tree, the injection holes are formed at the trunk of the agarwood tree at a vertical distance of 50 cm to 150 cm, and the injection holes are respectively located at different heights on the trunk of the agarwood tree. More preferably, the injection holes are formed in the trunk of the agarwood tree at a vertical distance of 85 cm to 150 cm. Even more preferably, the injection holes are formed in the trunk of the agarwood tree at a vertical distance of 85 cm to 100 cm. It can ensure the integrity of the trunk of the agarwood tree between any two adjacent injection holes, so that the trunk of the agarwood tree can be utilized later.

In order to facilitate the injection of the pressurized gas, the injection holes are formed by the circumferential surface of the trunk extending toward the bottom of the axis of the trunk, and the angle between the extending direction of the injection holes and the radial direction of the trunk of the agarwood tree is 5 ° to 60 °. More preferably, the angle between the extending direction of the injection holes and the radial direction of the trunk of the agarwood tree is 5° to 25°.

Preferably, the injection holes are away from the trunk from 20 cm to 50 cm from the surface. The direction of the root is spaced apart.

Preferably, the agarwood has a diameter of 10 cm to 30 cm. Accordingly, in combination with the aforementioned injection pressure conditions and the diameter of the agarwood tree, the present invention can ensure that the agarwood tree has a fully developed resin gland and can produce a large amount of agarwood; and ensure that the trunk of the agarwood tree can withstand the pressure of injecting the gas without exploding. .

Figure 3 is a flow chart of a comparative example of a method of producing agarwood resin.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together, the method for producing agarwood resin of the present invention comprises the following steps:

First, a agarwood tree that produces agarwood resin is available. Specifically, the trunk 10 of the agarwood tree has a diameter of 15 cm.

Next, a plurality of injection holes 20 are formed in the trunk 10 of the agarwood tree, and the injection holes 20 communicate with the xylem of the agarwood tree.

The injection hole 20 is formed by extending the circumferential surface of the trunk 10 toward the bottom of the axis of the trunk 10, and the angle θ between the direction in which the injection hole 20 extends and the radial direction of the trunk 10 of the agarwood tree is 10°.

In other embodiments, the angle θ between the extending direction of the injection hole 20 and the radial direction of the trunk 10 of the agarwood tree is not limited to the above; and the injection hole 20 may also extend perpendicularly to the circumferential surface of the trunk 10 (ie, θ It is 0°).

The injection hole 20 is punched at a distance of 30 cm from the root of the agarwood tree, and is formed at a trunk distance 10 of the agarwood tree at a distance of 100 cm from the root, which is the injection hole. 20 are respectively located at different heights on the trunk 10 of the agarwood tree, thereby maintaining the integrity of the trunk 10 of the agarwood tree between the adjacent two injection holes 20.

Then, a gas is pumped into the injection holes 20 at a pressure of 20 psi. In this embodiment, the gas is air, but the gas may also be carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, argon or a mixture thereof and Not limited to the above.

Since the injection holes 20 communicate with the xylem of the agarwood tree, when the gas is intermittently injected into the injection holes 20 by pumping pressure, each pressurized gas will exert a force against the xylem of the agarwood tree, so that the xylem portion The interval is subjected to multiple external impacts, thereby destroying the xylem and causing the agarwood to be traumatized. Further, since the gas impinges on the xylem that communicates with the injection hole 20 after passing through the injection hole 20, it can cause a wide range of trauma to the xylem. In order to induce the agarwood tree to produce a special smell secretion in the wound, the agarwood tree is formed into a large amount of agarwood resin and mixed with wood to form agarwood.

In general, the density of the xylem near the root is higher, and the density away from the root is lower, and the xylem transports water from the root. Therefore, the way of inserting the bacterium into the bacterium is not only difficult to reach near the root. The xylem is more difficult to achieve the effect of damaging the xylem near the root; however, the present invention can extensively destroy the xylem by injecting pressurized gas, not only not affected by the difference in the density of the wood, but also not by the xylem. The direction is affected.

In addition, since the xylem is subjected to a wide range of trauma, the number of injection holes 20 can be reduced compared with the prior art, and the distance between the injection holes 20 can be increased to reduce the possibility of death of the agarwood tree, and the agarwood can be maintained. Complete in shape to preserve the subsequent use of the agarwood tree.

Referring to FIG. 3, the present invention provides a comparative example in which an agarwood tree capable of producing agarwood resin is prepared, and an injection hole 20 communicating with the xylem is formed on the trunk 10, and the difference between the comparative example and the embodiment is: 20 psi. The pressure passes a gas and an infusion liquid through the container to be simultaneously injected into the injection holes 20, while at the same time breaking the xylem fibers and causing the injection liquid and the wood The effect of a large range of fiber contact.

Since the injection hole 20 is formed by the circumferential surface of the trunk 10 extending toward the bottom of the axis of the trunk 10, the infusion liquid flows into the axial direction of the trunk 10, thereby xylem close to the axis of the trunk 10. In contact with, and since the xylem portion transports moisture from the root portion, most of the infusion liquid goes upward in the direction in which the water is transported, and can be in contact with the xylem portion in a wide range, thereby generating a large amount of agarwood resin.

The infusion solution is formulated according to the prior art, wherein the infusion solution comprises water, peptone, yeast extract, Melanotus flavolivens , Botryodiplodia theobromae , acetic acid and sucrose, and the infusion can induce the agarwood Produces a secretion with a special odor and promotes the production of agarwood resin.

The above peptone is made by using enzymes to hydrolyze vegetables, grains, stems, milk or meat, including Peptide, Free amino acid, minerals, vitamins and basic growth factors of microorganisms (Essential growth). Factor for microorganism), which supplies nutrients needed for the survival of microorganisms.

In summary, the method for producing agarwood resin of the present invention destroys the xylem of the agarwood tree by injecting pressurized gas, thereby not only destroying the xylem fiber of the agarwood tree in a large area, but also maintaining the integrity of the appearance of the agarwood tree, overcoming the previous knife cutting The agarwood tree creates a wound that causes the appearance of the agarwood tree to be poor or causes the death of the agarwood tree. In addition, the agarwood resin can be produced more efficiently and rapidly than the conventional method of perforating the bacterial liquid.
