“…The essential oil compositions of hydrodistilled oils from Tuscany and Corsica 27,28 were very similar in the major compounds but several sesquiterpene alcohols, such as cubebol, α-elemol, germacrene-D-4-ol, α-cadinol and α-bisabolol, contained in prevalence in the HD products, have not been reported in P. lentiscus oils from a different geographical origin. In particular, some publications reported α-pinene and terpinen-4-ol as the main components in plants from Morocco and Tunisia.…”

In the present research, the chemical composition of the volatiles present in the fresh leaves and twigs of Pistacia lentiscus L. was determined by using GC-FID and GC-MS. In past years the oil was employed in the perfumery, food and pharmaceutical industries, while recently it has been re-evaluated as a ½avouring in alcoholic beverages and chewing gums, due to the natural production of the exudate called 'mastic gum'. The present study was carried out on Sicilian plants with the aim of integrating the already existing information on the chemical composition of the oil. The oil samples were obtained using traditional hydrodistillation (HD) and simultaneous distillation and extraction (SDE). For the ¼rst time, the enantiomeric distribution of 17 chiral couples by means of enantioselective multidimensional gas chromatography (Es-MDGC), was determined. The results showed that more compounds were detected in the SDE extract (96 components) than in the HD extract (62 components). Several minor components contained in the HD product probably contribute signi¼cantly to its aromatic properties and could be useful for chemotaxonomic characterization. P. lentiscus L. leaf and twig oil, although not considered until now, could be employed as a ½avour contributor or as food preservative.

“…In other countries of the Mediterranean region, several studies have been studied the chemical composition of P. lentiscus L. oil [6]- [20] and several compositions were observed. Myrcene (39.2%), which is the major compounds of our essential oil, has also the abundant compound in the samples from Morocco (38%) [4], France (76.9%) [6], Spain (27%) [7], Italy (25.2%) [8] and Algeria (23.0% -33.1%) [9].…”

Essential oil from the leaves of Pistacia lentiscus L. growing in the Oran region in the west of Algeria was obtained by hydrodistillation with a 1.26 % yield on a dry weight basis. Spectrophotometric analyses were employed to highlight the scavenger capacity of this oil using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) test. Twenty compounds were identified by GC and CG/MS analyses, and the main part of the compounds of the oil was terpinene-4-ol (41.24%) and α-terpineol (7.31%), α-pinene (9.48%), limonene (09.11%), β-myrcene (10.5%), p-cymene (8.67%) and α-phellandrene (2.20%), β-caryophyllene (12.62%) as major compounds. The DPPH test shows that Pistacia lentiscus essential oil possesses antiradical activity. A linear correlation (correlation coefficient R 2 = 0.995, P < 0.001) was found between the reduction of DPPH stable free radical and the concentration of Pistacia lentiscus essential oil.

“…The essential oil of Pistacia lentiscus L. was obtained by hydrodistillation of leaves, fruits or from trunk exudates called mastic gum (Castola et al, 2000). This essential oil has been proven to exhibit antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial (Benhammou et al, 2008) The purpose of this study was to assess clinically the effect of this oil (PLVFO) on burn wounds healing in rabbit model.…”

This study aimed to assess the efficiency of the virgin fatty oil of Pistacia lentiscus (PLVFO) for burn wounds healing. It was carried out on 6 adult male New Zealand rabbits. Four burn wounds of deep third degree were made on the back of each animal. The first was not treated and served as control (CRL group); the others were covered immediately after burning procedure by 0.5g of one of the following products: Vaseline gel (VAS group), Madecassol ® cream 1% (MAD group) or 1ml of PLVFO (PLVFO group). The treatments were repeated once daily until complete healing. For four days post burns, the percentage of wound contraction was assessed. Also, the different healing times were noted. The results showed that both PLVFO and Madecassol ® significantly accelerated wound healing activity compared to wounds dressed with Vaseline and the untreated wounds. However, the level of wound contraction was significantly higher and the healing time was faster in PLVFO group than those of the MAD group, VAS group and CRL group. The different epithelization periods obtained in days were respectively: 30±3.94 (PLVFO group), 33.5±3.78 (MAD group), 34.66±3.88 (VAS group) and 37.16±3.54 (CRL group). We conclude that Pistacia lentiscus virgin fatty oil promotes significantly (p< 0.05) wound contraction and reduces epithelization period in rabbit model.
