A study on physical and mechanical behavioral and characteristic of fibrous material (wood based materials): a natural absorption in incenses product / Karyati Haslinda Kamaruddin

Incense is a material which contains aromatic materials that released fragrance when burned. In creating incense, natural sources can be used such as gums, resins, woods, herbs, spices, fruits, seeds, flowers, honey, etc. It can be in many forms which are stick, granulated, and cone. The objective o...
