“…All four species contain α-pinene, ranging from 3.8 % to 15.6 %, while terpinolene is found in concentrations ranging from 0.1 % to 6.9 %. It should be noted that Pistacia terebinthus is characterized by an elevated concentration of limonene (34.2 %) [22], Pistacia atlantica is characterized by an elevated concentration of bornyl acetate (21.5 %) [23], Pistacia lentiscus contained as major components myrcene (68.2-71.0 %) and limonene (9.6-19.7 %) [24] and Pistacia palaestina is characterized by an elevated concentration of (E)-ocimene (41.3 %) and sabinene (20.3 %) [25]. All the major components of the related species are found in P. vera in concentrations amounting to less than 2.5 %.…”

Abstract:The essential oils of the fruits and the leaves of pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Fresh unripe pistachio fruits were richer in essential oil (0.5 %, w/w) than the leaves (0.1 %, w/w). Twenty one compounds were identified in the essential oil of the fruits and the major components were (+)-α-pinene (54.6 %) and terpinolene (31.2 %). The enantiomeric ratio of the major constituents of the essential oil of the fruits was determined using chiral GC/MS and it was found that the (+)/(-)-α-pinene ratio was 99.5:0.5, (+)/(-)-limonene 80:20, (+)/(-)-β-pinene 96:4, and (+)/(-)-α-terpineol 0:100. Thirty three compounds were identified in the essential oil of the leaves and the major components were found to be α-pinene (30.0 %), terpinolene (17.6 %) and bornyl acetate (11.3 %).

“…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.

“…lentiscus L. commonly called "Dharw" in Maghreb and "Mustaka" in the Middle East is employed in folk medicine against various pains. The aerial part of this plant has traditionally been used in some regions of Spain as a popular cure against hypertension (Villar et al 1987), and its stimulant and diuretic properties were reported by Vidrich et al (2004).…”

In this study, the composition and antioxidant activity of Pistacia lentiscus L. leaf essential oil (EO) from four Tunisian localities were investigated. The EO yields (%, w/w) of P. lentiscus leaf were 0.009% in Oued El Bir, 0.02% in Jebel Mansour, 0.007% in Siliana and 0.01% in Tabarka. The main compounds of Oued El Bir EO were terpinene-4-ol (41.24%) and aterpineol (7.31%), whereas those of Jebel Mansour were a-pinene (9.48%), limonene (19.11%) and a-phellandrene (3.20%). In Siliana samples, terpinene-4-ol (23.32%), b-caryophyllene (22.62%) and a-terpineol (7.12%) were the main compounds. For P. lentiscus L. from Tabarka, a-terpineol (9.79%) and b-caryophyllene (38.33%) were the major constituents. Three chemotypes of P. lentiscus EO were identified for the first time in Tunisia. P. lentiscus EOs were also screened for their antioxidant activities. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl assay gives an IC 50 range value of 60-110 mg/mL for all the samples studied. EOs from different Tunisian localities showed lower b-carotene bleaching activity than butylated hydroxytoluene and butylated hydroxyanisol. P. lentiscus EO presents a very low capacity to chelate ferrous irons (IC 50 ¼ 80.8-104 mg/mL) and no metal chelating activity was recorded.
