Burseraceae Umbelliferae

PROPERTIES OF
RESIN
A. Physical properties
All resins are heavier than water.
They are usually hard, brittle, transparent or
translucent solids; some are slightly soft
semisolids or liquid substances.
They are electrically non-conductive and
combustible masses.
When heated they soften and fuse yielding a clear,
adhesive fluids.
They burn with smoky flame.
B. Behaviour towards solvent
B. Resin alcohol
E.g. i) Benzoresinol from benzoin
ii) Storesinol from storax
Resinotannols :
E.g. i) Aloeresinotannol from aloe
ii) Peruresinotannol from balsam of peru
C. Resenes
Complex neutral substance devoid of
characterizes chemical properties.
Do not form salts or esters , resist hydrolysis by
alkalies.
D. Glycoresins
E.g. Jalap and podophyllum
E. Resin esters
E.g. Benzyl benzoate in benzoin
ISOLATION OF RESIN
1. By heating plant part
E.g. Guaiacum
A log of the wood is supported in a horizontal position
above the ground by two upright bars.

(Zingiberaceae) zingerone
2. Capsicum - Capsicum annum Capsanthin, capsaicin
(Solanaceae)
3. Copaiba Copaifera species resin acids
(Leguminosae)
OLEO-GUM RESINS
1. Myrrh Commiphora molmol Volatile oil, gum, resin,
(Burserraceae) commiphoric acids
