“…Two of the three samples from Van Vuuren et al [41] contained notable amounts of b-caryophyllene, which we could not confirm here. The cembrenes reported by Strappaghetti et al [72] were not confirmed in any other study, even though the results otherwise resemble the general composition of B. frereana. Hayashi et al [48] reported a sample from Oman as B. frereana, whereas a comparison with the data presented here suggests that it might have been a B. sacra sample.…”

The genus Boswellia comprises many species which are famous for their production of frankincense, a fragrant gum resin. In the published literature, manifold studies on the volatiles and semivolatiles in individual samples of these gum resins exist, yet very few studies have investigated multiple samples. Contradictory results with regard to the volatile composition exist in literature. In this first part of the study, a large sample set (n = 46) of mostly commercially obtained gum resins and essential oils was investigated by solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. A total of 216 compounds were identified or tentatively identified from the four commercially relevant species, namely B. sacra, B. serrata, B. papyrifera, and B. frereana, and the statistical evaluation of the resulting chemical profiles allowed a clear distinction between the species by their volatile profile. With only few exceptions, the designated species was found to be in accordance with the composition reported in reliable literature sources and detected in botanically identified samples. Chemotaxonomic marker substances were suggested to facilitate the differentiation of commercial gum resins or essential oils based on their volatile profile.

“…Thus, the simultaneous presence in a sample of these dimers could serve as diagnostic biomarkers for B. frereana olibanum. A sample of B. frereana olibanum collected in Somalia exhibited some minor differences in composition though its predominant volatile was p-cymene and the occurrence of a-terpinene, a-cubebene, cembrene and isocembrene was restricted to it (Strappaghetti et al, 1982).…”

The Essential Oil of Olibanum

et al. 1987

The essential oil of the oleogum resin "Olibanum" was prepared by direct steam distillation as well as by steam distillation of an N-hexane extract. Physical and chemical constants of the oil were determined. GC-MS was used for the analysis of the oil. Thirty-three components were identified in the steam distilled oil by their Kováts indices on stabilized OV-1 columns and by mass spectral data. The oil contains 62.1% esters, 15.4% alcohols, 9.9% monoterpene hydrocarbons, and 7.1% diterpenes. Certain minor constituents of the steam distilled oil failed to show up in the oil prepared by steam distillation of the N-hexane extract. Both oils exhibit antimicrobial activity, the activity of the steam distilled oil being higher than that of the oil prepared by steam distillation of the N-hexane extract.
