Terpenes from pine resin
I have about 500g of pine resin I collected few years ago. Except that its a good fire starter, I would love to extract pinenes from it.
Yes, I know oil of turpentine which contains them is obtained by distillation, but I don't have disillation apparatus neither I have access to
turpentine.
So I took pine resin and dissolved a maximum amount of it in mixture of ethanol and isopropanol. Now I have this orange solution which I believe also
contains abietic and other resin acids. If it's possible I would like to seperate them too, but my main concern is now pinene.
I don't even know how I should start to do it now, any tips?
