gum obtained from the mastic, pistacia lentiscus l., anacardiaceae
Notes:
Mastic or Mastix is a natural oleoresin, produced in the very small tree, Pistacia Lentiscus, as a physiological material. In order to obtain the oleoresin, however, it is necessary to make incisions in the trunk. The exuded oleoresin soon solidifies and becomes hard and brittle.
Mastic is produced in various Mediterranean countries, but most of the world production comes from the small Greek island of Chios, just offshore from Izmir in Turkey. Smaller quantities are collected in Algeria, Morocco and the Canary islands.

Odor: bland Use: Mastic is a resinous exudate obtained from the stem and leaves of the Pistacia Lentiscuc tree collected on the island of Chios. When the strips of the bark are removed from the tree, the flow of the resin is increased. Generally two varieties of Mastic are obtained, that which is cleaner found adhering to the trunk of the tree, and that which has fallen to the ground and suffered contamination. The commercial material in the form of adhesives, in lithographic processes, and as a constituent of incense, is usually a pale yellowish or greenish transparent resin. |
