oleoresin
Balsam, for instance
Oleoresin is a natural mixture of oil and resin obtained from plants, combining the properties of both—the volatile fragrance of essential oils with the sticky consistency of resin.
Turpentine is the most familiar example, tapped from pine trees.
Oleoresins are used in varnishes, adhesives, and flavorings.
In the spice trade, oleoresins are concentrated plant extracts used for consistent flavoring: paprika oleoresin adds color and heat to processed foods.
