| "The aromatic, ivory-coloured resin, also known as mastic [also called 'Arabic gum', 'Yemen gum', 'tears of Chios'], is harvested as a spice from the cultivated mastic trees grown in the south of the Greek island of Chios in the Aegean Sea, where it is also known by the name "Chios tears". Originally liquid, it is hardened, when the weather turns cold, into drops or patties of hard, brittle, translucent resin. When chewed, the resin softens and becomes a bright white and opaque gum."

| "The chemical composition of the essential oils isolated by extraction of mastic gum and by hydrodistillation from leaves, and unripe and ripe fruits of Pistacia lentiscus L. was studied. Up to 250 constituents were detected in the oils. From these components, about 90 could be identified and quantified, comprising over 95% of the oils. The gum oil contained 90% monoterpene hydrocarbons, and the leaf oil 50% monoterpene hydrocarbons, 20% oxygen-containing monoterpenes and 25% sesquiterpenes, whereas the fruit oils consisted of 90-96% monoterpene hydrocarbons and 2-3% sesquiterpenes. The main constituents of the gum oil were: 79% α-pinene and 3% β-myrcene; of the leaf oil: 11% α-pinene and 19% β-myrcene; of the unripe-fruit oil: 22% α-pinene and 54% β-myrcene, and of the ripe-fruit oil: 11% α-pinene and 72% β-myrcene. α-Terpineol and terpinen-4-ol (together 15%) were the dominant monoterpene alcohols in the leaf oil." \\ | "The chemical composition of the essential oils isolated by extraction of mastic gum and by hydrodistillation from leaves, and unripe and ripe fruits of Pistacia lentiscus L. was studied.

| Mastic gum essential oil (1-3% of the gum) contained α-pinene 59.2-87.1% and myrcene 4.7-27.6%. Chiral GC-MS analysis showed (-)/(+)-α-pinene ratio from 0.55:100 to 1:100 and (-)-α-pinene/myrcene ratio from 1.9:100 to 11:100. \\ | Mastic gum essential oil (1-3% of the gum) contained α-pinene 59.2-87.1% and myrcene 4.7-27.6%.
