چکیده

Frankincense is an aromatic terpenoid oleo-gum resin produced by trees in the genus Boswellia. It has been used for medicinal and religious purposes millennia, today important component perfume aromatherapy. The of Boswellia frereana especially prized, found to contain a high proportion monoterpenes. However, previous studies have relied on commercial samples; this study, we characterize compositions essential oil DCM extract samples from 12 individual B trees. triterpenoid fraction was largely consistent between samples, with lupeol (14.7%-32.5%), ?-amyrin (13.0%-25.2%), 3- epi-lupeol (6.4%-14.2%), ?-amyrin (5.3%-8.0%) as primary constituents. showed more intersample diversity, but still represented single, variable chemotype characterized moderate level ?-thujene (14.5%-43.9%) varying, often significant, ?-pinene (3.0%-63.0%).

Tree Resin Composition, Collection Behavior and Selective Filters Shape Chemical Profiles of Tropical Bees (Apidae: Meliponini)

The diversity of species is striking, but can be far exceeded by the chemical diversity of compounds collected, produced or used by them. Here, we relate the specificity of plant-consumer interactions to chemical diversity applying a comparative network analysis to both levels. Chemical diversity was explored for interactions between tropical stingless bees and plant resins, which bees collect ...

Chemical composition of biomass generated in the guava tree pruning

Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae) is a native plant of Central America and is now widely cultivated in many tropical regions of the world for the fruit production. In Mexico, in the guava orchards common practices to control fruit production are: water stress, defoliation and pruning. In this study, we report the chemical composition of the biomass (branches and leaves) generated in the pruning pr...
