Part VI.] Preparation of Turpentine , Rosin and Gum. 
Receipts. 
Rs. A. P. 
Turpentine (yielded 8 per cent. Sp. Gr. -84) 77 gallons at 
Rs. 2-8 “.. 192 8 0 
Rosin 55 maunds at Rs. 10 per maund (yield 55 per cent) . 550 0 0 
Gum (yield 22 per cent.) 22 maunds at Rs. 5 per maund .110 0 0 
Total . 852 8 0 
This works out at a profit of Rs. 72-8 per 100 maunds or a profit 
of 11'6 annas per maund. 
Part VIII.—Conclusiors. 
The conclusions arrived at after a somewhat prolonged investigation 
are that the preparation of Boswellia serrata products may lead to an 
important industry, though from a perusal of the data collected and 
given in the preceding pages, it is evident that it will be necessary to 
confirm the figures of cost of manufacture in a single unit plant before 
undertaking such an enterprise on a large scale. As regards the pros¬ 
pects of finding a ready market for the turpentine and rosin, there seems 
to be no question of doubt; it is somewhat difficult to predict the 
market value of the gum, though there is little doubt that at Rs. 5 pec 
maund, which is the figure given in the estimate, it should find a ready 
sale. 
From the statements given in Part II it is clear that the outturn 
of the gum-oleo-resin is considerable, while the results of tapping 
experiments carried out on a large scale are fully confirmed by the 
operations in the Gwalior State, and no apprehension is entertained 
on this score. 
Under present conditions it is almost impossible to frame any estimate 
for plant, the figure given is based on pre-war experience. 
Taking into consideration all factors governing the prospects of 
such an industry, there can be little doubt that its potential possi¬ 
bilities are very considerable.
