Asafoetida, a dried oleo-gum-resin, is extracted from the roots of the Ferula assa-foetida plant. This perennial herb belongs to the Apiaceae family and is native to Iran, thriving mainly in desert regions. Asafoetida oil is extracted from the resin through steam distillation. It is a fluid, yellow oil with a strong garlic-like aroma. The essential oil’s main constituents include disulfides and terpenoids, with the primary sulfide compound being 2-butyl propenyl disulfide. The terpenoid compounds include α-pinene, β-pinene, myrcene, and limonene, along with free ferulic acid and valeric acid.
