- The oleoresin of Copaifera langsdorffii is composed of a volatile sesquiterpene fraction and a non-volatile diterpene acid fraction. Beta-caryophyllene is the dominant sesquiterpene, comprising up to 53% of the oleoresin in C. langsdorffii. African Copaifera species produce a hardening copal resin rather than the liquid oleoresin characteristic of New World species, due to lower sesquiterpene concentrations.
