Abstract

The composition of the essential oils of two African (“white” and “yellow”) olibanums available in the commercial market of Isfahan (Iran) was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectroscopy methods. The main constituents of the “White” olibanum oil were alpha-pinene (34.8%), limonene (15.9%), alphathujene (9.0%), para-cymene (7.0%), myrcene (6.2%) and sabinene (6.0%). Major components of the “yellow” olibanum oil were alpha-pinene (48.0%), limonene (21.7%), myrcene (4.9%), beta-caryophyllene (4.9%) and para-cymene (3.5%).
