In the utilization of natural resources, there is often something problematic on one side, but there are benefits on the other side. Utilization of natural resources in the form of wood should be directed at a variety of efforts that are more diverse, not focused on wood only. Bearing in mind that trees contain not only lignocellulosic components, but other high-value materials. Research was conducted on one species of wood that is considered problematic in wood processing, namely Keruing ( Dipterocarous hasseltii ). The results showed that the Keruing wood contained extractive substances with the main compound of bioactive caryophyllene which is widely used by the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries. The total caryophyllene content in extractive wood reached 47.68%.
