    Resins are amorphous products that are the end products of plant metabolism and oxidation of terpenes. They are usually formed in schizogenous or schizolysigenous ducts and cavities of plants. Resins have complex chemical mixtures and physical properties like being hard, transparent, insoluble in water, and burning with a smoky flame when ignited. There are several types of resin combinations including oleoresins, oleo-gum-resins, balsams, and glycoresin.
