While formaldehyde was found in all of the pads, liners and tampons assessed and
abietic acid was found in all the liners, the agency found that the health risks associated with the use of feminine hygiene is low.
Colophony consists of diterpene monocarboxylic acids, the main one being abietic acid [2,3,4].
From the FTIR spectrum, it was possible to identify the functionality of resin, being composed of resinous acids, where the main ones are abietic acid and its derivatives, which are used in several sectors of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, therefore, the purification and extraction methods were efficient.
Chemical standards including [beta]-boswellic acid, 3[alpha]-acetoxytirucall-7,24-dien-21-oic acid, 3-aectyl-11-keto-[beta]-boswellic acid, 3-keto-tirucall-8,24-dien-21-oic acid, and
abietic acid were separated and identified in previous studies.

abietic acid esters of hydroxypropylcellulose as potential macro- molecular prodrugs, J.
Succesful examples include incorporation of methylolated
abietic acid, (12) diisocyanates, (13) 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APES).
This toxic effect is generally related to the presence of
abietic acid and sterols.
Rosin is mainly composed of five resin acids:
abietic acid, neoabietic acid, palustric acid, pimaric acid, and isopimaric acid (Fig.

The dictionary portion of the book is just that -- an alphabetical list from
Abietic Acid (found in typewriting paper and varnishes) to Zirconium Oxide (used in colored ceramic glazes and batteries).
