d2525 0.995–1.014; n20D 1.5190–1.5275; α20D ?83 ° to ?60 °; acid number: 2–13; saponification number: 9–35; solubility: 1 vol in 7–10 vol of 90% ethanol; solutions are occasionally opalescent or turbid.
Typical aroma-determining compounds of themyrrh plant are furanosesquiterpenoids such as (?)-lindestrene. Myrrh oil and myrrh resinoids are used in perfume compositions to create oriental notes.Myrrh extract and Myrrh tincture are also utilized in oral care and corresponding preparations.
