The invention further discloses uses of the pulp composition as starting material for obtaining guava oleoresin and lycopene, and as antioxidant.

The present invention concerns methods for promoting the exudation of oleoresin 5 from trees 3, in particular pines or other conifers, and a composition for implementing said method.

Furthermore, protection is sought for the oleoresin deriving from the method and the use of the oleoresin in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance and neurodegenerative diseases, inter alia.

The recovered oleoresin is an effective antioxidant with improved antioxidant activity as compared to the starting material.

Oleoresin can be distilled, producing an essential oil.

The compositions can further comprise additional agents such as carotenoids and other phytochemicals found in tomato oleoresin.

Oleoresin contains chemical compounds responsible for the pungent flavor, such as gingerol.

A residue left after distilling the volatile oil from the oleoresin from various species of pine trees.

Oleoresin capsicum is a derivative of the pepper plant and is the main ingredient of the spray.

The total liquid phase or extract is concentrated in a rotary evaporator, which removes the solvent, leaving the oleoresin.

Capsaicin used on the body causes a sensation of heat that activates certain nerve cells.

Topical Capsaicin used on the body causes a sensation of heat that activates certain nerve cells.

The hydrolysis is carried out by treating the carotenoid rich oleoresin with a novel mixture of a Fatty alcohol, alkali and a fatty acid without the use of any other solvents.

The composition is useful as adhesive, sealing material, coating material and moldings.

The resin composition may be a coating composition, an ink composition and a molding resin composition.
