The research was carried out to study the chemical properties of Karas (Aquilaria malacensis). Sample for the research was taken at Diameter Breast Height (DBH) of Karas tree species found at UiTM Pahang forest reserve. From the Family Thymelaeceae, Karas was categorized as light hardwood with density ranging from 335-400 kg/m3 (21-25Ib/ft3). Among the experiments that have been completed were moisture content (MC), Lignin, Holocellulose, Ash and determination of cold water, hot water, Alcohol-benzene and 1% NaOH solubility. With this, the different properties percentage of amount within the Karas specimens such as tannin, gums, sugars, and etc. can be determined. If this criteria met the end use production for Karas wood, then the use of Karas as an alternative raw material is worth given due consideration.
