ASAFETIDA TINCTURE(CAS#9000-04-8)

Introduction

Asafetida is a common chemical substance, whose chemical name is eugenol. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation, and safety information of asafetida:Properties:Asafetida is a colorless or slightly yellow liquid with a distinctive aroma. It can dissolve in organic solvents such as alcohol, ether, and ketones, and can form complexes with some metal ions. It is stable at room temperature but decomposes easily under high temperature, light, and air.Uses:Asafetida is also used in the tobacco industry as a flavoring agent in cigarette production.Preparation:Asafetida is typically prepared by extracting it from the bark or roots of the asafetida tree. The bark or roots are first peeled, then subjected to distilled extraction or steam distillation to obtain asafetida.Safety Information:Asafetida is generally considered to be a relatively safe chemical, but the following precautions should be observed: avoid contact with eyes and skin; if accidental contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. When using asafetida, appropriate protective measures such as gloves and goggles should be worn to reduce exposure risk. Asafetida should be stored in a cool, dry place and kept away from oxidizing agents and strong acids. Most importantly, follow proper operating procedures when using asafetida and ensure good ventilation at all times.
