Abstract:
Oleoresin are among the most important NTFPs in the World. They are one of the oldest tree products used by humans. The Pinus patula tree planted globally as a dominant plantation forestry crop across various parts of the world especially in the high altitude tropical environment of India. Analysis of various physical properties were carried out in the laboratory conditions. The findings revealed that the oleoresin samples exhibited a number of properties that could be useful to the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, but no commercial oleoresin tapping experiments have indeed been conducted in this species to far. The resin samples were found to be highly soluble in Chloroform and having high rosin content of (91.48%).
