Frankincense and Myrrh: Visual Characterization and Comparison of Essential Oils with GCxGC

This study demonstrates the use of two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC-TOFMS) to map the complex chemical profiles of Boswellia and Commiphora resins. By leveraging structured chromatograms and spectral matching, researchers can more accurately distinguish between the intricate terpene and ester compositions of frankincense and myrrh.
