| "Twenty five compounds were identified in the hydrodistilled oil. The major components of Ferula assa-foetida were E-1-propenyl sec-butyl disulfide (40.0%) and germacrene B (7.8%). However, by using supercritical carbon dioxide under optimum conditions, only two components constituted more than 70% of the oil. The extraction yield, based on hydrodistillation, was 1.13% (w/w). Extraction yield, based on the SFE, varied in the range of 0.8–5.5% (w/w) under different conditions. The results show that, in Iranian Ferula assa-foetida oil, E-1-propyl sec-butyl disulfide is a major component."

In some parts of the country (notably, Bengal; see nigella about some peculiarities of Bengali cooking), the brahmins refuse to eat [[allium_cepa_l|onions]] and [[allium_sativum_l|garlic]] and often use asafetida instead. Also in the cuisines of other North Indian places, it is not common to combine asafetida with either garlic or onion, even if no taboo applies to the latter. In the Dravidian South, asafetida is even more popular. The Tamil (South Indian) spice mixture sambar podi (see coriander) frequently contains asafetida. Although exceptions exist, asafetida has the reputation of being a spice for vegetables, not meats; now vegetarianism is more common in South India than in the North, which probably explains why asafetida is so much associated with South India, although its natural habitat lies in the North." \\ |

In Iran, the plant exists in two varieties: one bitter, and one sweet. The use of the latter is preferred over the former. Even though Ferula asafoetida grows in more Southerly regions in Iran than Ferula gummosa, there are geographic areas where both species can be found. Its growth characteristics are similar to those of Ferula gummosa, but with a much longer vegetative cycle. The inflorescence forms after 12-14 years, and, as with Ferula gummosa, marks the end of life of the plant. The resin is collected from the upper parts of the root, after incising the totally dry plants. The resinous droplets are collected every 5-6 days, with the root being incised 8-10 times within 2 months. The yield is approximately 40-60 g per season." \\ |

| | The oelogum resin is used as carminative, antispasmodic (to treat dyspepsia with flatulent colid), and expectorant (to treat bronchitis, cough). "Relief from respiratory ailments is a common theme, and this may be linked to the sulfur compounds that are partly excreted through the lungs..." \\ |
