Galbanum gum

Galbanum gum (CAS 9000-24-2), also known as Ferula resin, is a natural oleoresin exudate harvested from Ferula species native to the Middle East and Central Asia. Registered under FEMA 2502, it delivers a sharp, green, balsamic character.

Perfumers and flavorists rely on this material for distinctive aromatic profiles. In fine fragrance and personal care formulations, it contributes a distinctive green, woody topnote found in chypre and fougère compositions.

Food and beverage manufacturers use it as a natural flavoring agent. The FEMA 2502 status supports its use in confectionery, baked goods, and savory products at controlled levels to ensure consistent taste profiles.

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators incorporate it into traditional remedy preparations and botanical extracts. This is particularly common where the resin's natural origin is a primary sourcing requirement for the final product.

Incense and aromatic product manufacturers also source it as a base resin for blending with other natural gum exudates. This versatility makes it a staple ingredient across several industrial sectors requiring high-quality resins.

Galbanum gum is supplied as a raw resin lump, soft paste, or processed powder depending on extraction and handling method. It is available in natural or crude grade for fragrance compounding and specialized applications.

Purified or standardized extract forms are available for food and pharmaceutical applications. Buyers should confirm moisture content, resin versus gum ratio, and botanical source documentation when evaluating supplier specifications.
