ferula kokanica resin oil

Ferula kokanica resin oil, also known as galbanum gum, is an essential oil obtained by distillation from the resin of the plant Ferula kokanica, a member of the umbelliferae botanical family. It manifests as a resinous gum with a characteristic green odor and flavor profile. The oil is referenced under several synonyms including galbanum oil and resinous gums, emphasizing its origin from plant exudates. Its distinct green notes make it valuable in perfumery. The [PubChem](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/galbanum) database lists this compound under botanical essential oils. It is primarily sourced from the natural resin exuded by Ferula kokanica, collected in regions where the plant grows naturally.

Ferula kokanica resin oil occurs naturally as a resinous exudate from the plant Ferula kokanica. This essential oil has applications mainly as a fragrance and perfuming agent leveraged in cosmetic formulations. Its green odor profile contributes fresh and resinous nuances in scent compositions. The oil is notable for its use as a fragrance agent under safety standards including IFRA (Global), which governs ingredient usage in perfumery. Despite its olfactory value, it is not permitted for flavor usage according to IFRA recommendations. Its natural occurrence combined with distinctive aroma properties makes it primarily relevant in fragrance industries rather than food flavoring.

Ferula kokanica resin oil is characterized by its solubility profile, being soluble in alcohol but insoluble in water, which affects its formulation in fragrance products. The oil’s green odor and flavor attributes reflect volatile constituents that define its sensory impact. The resinous gum consistency correlates with a complex mixture of organic compounds typical of umbelliferae resins. Its physicochemical nature demands consideration of solvent compatibility in perfumery formulations. Information on toxicity or flammability is limited, but no specific hazard classifications have been established, indicating a relatively low-risk profile under standard handling.
