Galbanum is an aromatic gum resin, the product of certain umbelliferous Persian plant species, chiefly Ferula gummosa, syn. galbaniflua and Ferula rubricaulis. The characteristic harsh green odor of galbanum oil arises to a great extent from minor constituents, of which (3E,5Z)-undeca-1,3,5-triene (CAS# 19883-27-3) (F-3) and 2-methoxy-3-isobutyl-pyrazine are the most important.
