ASAFETIDA TINCTURE(CAS#9000-04-8)

Introduction
Ferulic gum is a common chemical substance, chemically known as eugenol. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation, and safety information of ferulic gum:

Properties:
Ferulic gum is a colorless or slightly yellow liquid with a distinct aroma. It is soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol, ether, and ketones, and can form complexes with certain metal ions. Ferulic gum is stable at room temperature but can decompose easily under high temperature, light, and air exposure.

Uses:
Ferulic gum is also used in the tobacco industry as a flavoring agent in cigarette production.

Preparation:
Ferulic gum is typically obtained by extracting it from the bark or roots of ferula trees. The bark or roots are first peeled, then extracted through distillation or steam distillation, ultimately yielding ferulic gum.

Safety Information:
Ferulic gum is generally considered 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 ferulic gum, appropriate protective measures such as gloves and goggles should be worn to reduce exposure risks. Ferulic gum should be stored in a cool, dry place, and kept away from oxidizers and strong acids. Most importantly, always follow proper handling procedures and ensure good ventilation when using ferulic gum.
