Resin acid refers to a group of naturally occurring organic compounds, primarily obtained from the distillation of certain plant resins, particularly those derived from coniferous trees like pine. The most common type of resin acid is abietic acid, which is a major component of the rosin obtained from pine trees. Resin acids are characterized by their chemical structure, which typically includes a bicyclic structure with carboxylic acid groups.
