A Thin‐layer Chromatography Method for the Identification of Three Different Olibanum Resins ( <i>Boswellia serrata</i> , <i>Boswellia papyrifera</i> and <i>Boswellia carterii</i> , respectively, <i>Boswellia sacra</i> )

Abstract

The TLC method developed allows unambiguous identification of three different olibanum samples (Boswellia papyrifera, Boswellia serrata, Boswellia carterii/Boswellia sacra). Evidence on the specific biosynthesis routes of these Boswellia species is reported.
