New Constituents in Olibanum Resinoid and Essential Oil
Olibanum, or frankincense, a well appreciated perfume raw material, is a gum-resin produced by wild small trees growing in Arabia and Somaliland. This gum-resin results either from natural exudation or from unnatural incisions made in the bark of the tree. The gums from Arabia and Somalihind converge to Aden, the main trade place for olibanum; these gums usually result from two species of the genus Boswellia (fam. Burseraceae): Boswellia carterii Bird, (Arabia and Somaliland) and Boswellia frereana Bird. (Somaliland).
