MASTIC GUM:
FROM ANCIENT REMEDY
TO MODERN PHARMACEUTICAL USE
Chios mastic is famous all over the world as a natural remedy for indigestion, stomach ulcers, inflammation of the intestines and dental plaque and gums. It is becoming more and more popular because its appealing fragrance is an inspiration for a continuously increasing number of inspired products.
Mediterra and the Mastic Producers Association on the Greek island of Chios faced two problems solved by Forlong. The first was the creation of a powder without preservatives for the pharmaceutical industry and second to tackle the tendency of mastic to deteriorate during shipment. Lyophilization solved both problems brilliantly!
