▎Essential Oil Introduction
Myrrh, whose English name originates from the Arabic word mur, meaning "bitter," is a low-growing shrub of the Burseraceae family. It thrives in the dry, arid edges of deserts, characterized by ovate leaves that grow either scattered or in clusters. The plant features a sturdy trunk with smooth, thin bark and irregular thorn-like spiny branches. Myrrh exudes a fragrant, oily resin ranging in color from yellow to reddish-brown, extracted from various small, thorny, flowering trees of the Commiphora genus.
The two main types of myrrh are herabol and bisabol.
- Herabol myrrh is obtained from C. myrrha, which grows in Ethiopia, Arabia, and Somalia.
- Bisabol myrrh, or red myrrh, is derived from C. erythraea, a similar species native to Arabia.
Myrrh trees thrive on arid rocky hills, growing up to 3 meters in height.
Additionally, myrrh sweet, native to the highlands of Eurasia and Russia, carries a flavor reminiscent of anise. This plant is highly valued for its rich nutrients and strong antioxidant properties and was regarded as a precious herbal remedy in ancient times.
▎Component Analysis
｜Main component: Monoterpenes
The essential oil composition of myrrh is highly complex, with major components including basilene, bergamotene, and 1-decanol. Regardless of the type, all myrrh varieties are rich in furanosesquiterpenes (such as furanoeudesma-1,3-diene, curzerene, β-elemene, β-selinene, lindiastrene, and germacrene). They also contain sesquiterpene ketones, including curzerone.
Additionally, there is Agarsenone (a red myrrh resin ketone derived from Commiphora erythraea, a cadinane sesquiterpene compound). Agarsenone is a novel juniperane sesquiterpene compound isolated from myrrh resin, whose decomposition products include agarolactone and myrrhone.
Furthermore, myrrh naturally contains sesquiterpenols, such as bisabolol, which is particularly notable in myrrh sweet.
