Usage

Description

FEMA 2501, also known as Galbanum, is a resinous exudate obtained from the herbaceous plant Ferula gummosa Boiss. It is characterized by its aromatic odor and bitter, warm, acrid taste. The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the dried resinous gum and is a pale-yellow to yellow liquid with a balsamic, somewhat spicy, characteristic odor. Its main constituents include myrcene, cadinene, d-α-pinene, β-pinene, and sesquiterpene alcohols.
Usage:
Used in Flavor and Fragrance Industry:
FEMA 2501 is used as a flavoring agent for its warm, resinous, somewhat spicy and balsamic taste. It is also used as a fragrance ingredient for creating green top notes in perfume compositions due to its characteristic, aromatic odor.
Used in Solvent Extraction:
FEMA 2501 is used in the production of galbanum resinoid, which is obtained by extraction of the gum with a nonpolar solvent. The resinoid has excellent fixative properties and is used for the same purposes as the oil in the flavor and fragrance industry.
