• Description: Herbaceous, tall plant that grows in northern Persia (F galbaniflua) or in southern Persia (F. rubicaulia and F. ceratophylla). F. galbaniflua is widespread also in Turkey and Lebanon. The plant yields a resinous exudate, which is the part used, distinguished commercially in two types: Levant galbanum (soft) and Persian galbanum (hard). The resin has a characteristic, aromatic odor and a bitter, warm, acrid taste. It contains approximately 15 to 26% essential oil. Galbanum has a warm, resinous, somewhat spicy and balsamic odor.The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the dried resinous gum. It 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.The resinoid once was prepared by hydrocarbon solvent extraction and subsequent evaporation of the solvent; today a high-boiling, odorless solvent is added prior to evaporation; this solvent is left in the finished commercial product. The solvent-free resinoid is a dark-amber, viscous liquid with a characteristic balsamic odor. It yields turbid solutions in alcohol.
