DescriptionBoswellic acid, also known as boswellate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as triterpenoids. These are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Boswellic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make boswellic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. beta-boswellic acid is found in Boswellia sacra, Boswellia serrata, Boswellia sp., Cyclocarya paliurus and Phellinus pomaceus. beta-boswellic acid was first documented in 2021 (PMID: 34427335). Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Boswellic acid (PMID: 34420297) (PMID: 34412175) (PMID: 34368899) (PMID: 34358086).
