When was violin rosin invented?
More than "invented", violin rosin is an adaptation of natural tree pitch, or hardened sap. It is believed that the earliest violin rosins were no more than hardened pitch pulled from trees and utilized as is. That lead to melting the pitch in order to pour it into more convenient shapes, ie cakes. From there in an effort to create better and more consistent rosin, makers began to experiment with additives. For example, the addition of beeswax was found to create a less brittle rosin. The added ingredients in different rosins run the full spectrum from gold flakes to meteorite dust and everything in between and exact ingredients are often closely guarded secrets. In order to produce high volumes of product many modern rosin makers have turned to utilizing a hardened by-product of the paper industry often called Sylvaros rather than fresh tree sap or pitch. Violin rosin is generally based from pine tree sap/colophony, but some rosins include colophony from other kinds of conifer trees.
What happen if the violin rosin dust flew into food?
Rosin is basically tree sap. It is fine for you to digest as this is natural. The only thing that I may add is that if you are allergic to rosin (like me), you may want to throw the food out. It will save you the trouble of allergies.
