Oleoresin obtained by solvent extraction from the exudate of the balsam fir Abies balsamea, Tsuga canadiensis, Pinaceae. It contains mainly 1-beta-phellandrene, resins, essential oil, cinnamic and benzoic acids.
Essential oils (e.g. turpentine oil) and isolates (e.g. delta-3-carene) derived from the Pinacea family, including Pinus and Abies genera, should only be used when the level of peroxides is kept to the lowest practicable level, for instance by adding antioxidants at the time of production. Such products should have a peroxide value of less than 10 millimoles peroxide per liter, determined according to the FMA method, which can be downloaded from the IFRA website (see Analytical Methods).
