Quantification of incensole in three Boswellia species by NIR spectroscopy coupled with PLSR and cross ‐validation by HPLC

ConclusionThe findings are in total agreement with the HPLC analysis suggesting that NIR spectroscopy coupled with PLSR is a robust, rapid and non‐destructive alternate method for the quantification of incensole in B. papyrifera. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Incensole has received a significant pharmacological interest due to its potent anti‐inflammatory and antidepressant activity in recent years. NIRS coupled with PLSR as a robust and alternative method was used to quantify the content of incensole in three Boswellia species and cross validated by HPLC. The findings obtained were in total agreement with the HPLC analysis suggesting that NIRS coupled with PLS regression is a robust and nondestructive alternate method for the quantification of incensole.
