Frankincense, the oleogum resin from members of , has been used as medicine and incense for thousands of years, and essential oils derived from frankincense are important articles of commerce today. A new source of frankincense resin, from West Africa has been presented as a new, alternative source of frankincense. In this work, the oleogum resins from 20 different trees growing in Burkina Faso, West Africa were collected. Hydrodistillation of the resins gave essential oils that were analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID. The essential oils were dominated by α-pinene (21.0%-56.0%), followed by carvone (2.1%-5.4%) and α-copaene (1.8%-5.0%). Interestingly, there was one individual tree that, although rich in α-pinene (21.0%), also had a substantial concentration of myrcene (19.2%) and α-thujene (9.8%). In conclusion, the oleogum resin essential oil compositions of , rich in α-pinene, are comparable in composition to other frankincense essential oils, including , , and . Additionally, the differences in composition between samples from Burkina Faso and those from Nigeria are very slight. There is, however, a rare chemotype of that is dominated by myrcene, found both in Burkina Faso as well as Nigeria.
乳香是橄榄科植物的油胶树脂，数千年来一直被用作药物和香料，如今从乳香中提取的精油是重要的商业产品。一种来自西非的新乳香树脂来源，即[具体名称未给出]，已被视为乳香的一种新的替代来源。在这项研究中，收集了生长在西非布基纳法索的20种不同[具体树木名称未给出]树的油胶树脂。对树脂进行水蒸馏得到精油，并通过气相色谱 - 质谱联用仪（GC - MS）和气相色谱 - 火焰离子化检测器（GC - FID）进行分析。精油中主要成分是α - 蒎烯（21.0%-56.0%），其次是香芹酮（2.1%-5.4%）和α - 可巴烯（1.8%-5.0%）。有趣的是，有一棵单独的树，虽然富含α - 蒎烯（21.0%），但也含有大量的月桂烯（19.2%）和α - thujene（9.8%）。总之，富含α - 蒎烯的[具体树木名称未给出]油胶树脂精油成分与其他乳香精油成分相当，包括[其他几种乳香未给出具体名称]。此外，布基纳法索样品与尼日利亚样品之间的成分差异非常微小。然而，在布基纳法索和尼日利亚都发现了一种罕见的以月桂烯为主的[具体树木名称未给出]化学型。
