Bulk Gum Ammoniac for Export and Wholesale Supply
ACPFOOD is a gum ammoniac supplier serving international wholesalers, natural resin importers, botanical ingredient distributors, and manufacturers. We provide bulk gum ammoniac for export in natural tears, lumps, and other buyer-requested forms.
Gum ammoniac is a naturally occurring oleo-gum-resin associated with Ferula ammoniacum, a perennial plant in the Apiaceae family. Its recognized botanical synonym is Dorema ammoniacum. The material is known commercially as gum ammoniac, ammoniacum gum, gummi ammoniacum, and Ferula ammoniacum resin.
The product is collected, cleaned, sorted, and prepared for wholesale supply. Natural differences in colour, particle size, aroma, and texture may occur between harvests and grades. ACPFOOD can provide representative samples before a bulk order so buyers can evaluate the available lot.
Gum ammoniac is one of the natural botanical materials included in ACPFOOD’s bulk natural plant resins and gums range.

Product Information
The accepted botanical source for this product is Ferula ammoniacum. The older name Dorema ammoniacum remains widely used in traditional literature, commercial documents, and international resin trading.
Gum ammoniac should not be confused with sal ammoniac or ammonium chloride. Sal ammoniac is a mineral salt, whereas gum ammoniac is a botanical oleo-gum-resin.
For botanical accuracy and traceability, the species supplied should be stated on the quotation, specification sheet, and available batch documentation. Material obtained from another Ferula species should be identified separately and should not be presented under the same botanical identity without verification.
The current accepted botanical classification of Ferula ammoniacum can be checked through the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Applications of Bulk Gum Ammoniac
Incense and Aromatic Products
Gum ammoniac can be used as a botanical resin ingredient in traditional incense, aromatic resin blends, ceremonial products, and specialist fragrance compositions. Manufacturers should conduct their own burning, aroma, and formulation tests before commercial production.
Perfumery and Fragrance Development
The resin’s distinctive aromatic profile may be evaluated by natural perfumers, fragrance developers, and extraction specialists. Suitability depends on the extraction method, desired aroma profile, and formulation requirements.
Buyers looking for other aromatic Ferula resins may also consider bulk galbanum gum.
Traditional and Pharmaceutical Formulations
Gum ammoniac has a history of use in traditional preparations. It may be evaluated as a botanical raw material by qualified pharmaceutical, herbal, and laboratory professionals.
ACPFOOD supplies the material as a bulk botanical ingredient, not as a finished medicine. Buyers are responsible for determining whether the product and its intended use comply with the laws, pharmacopoeias, and regulatory requirements of the destination market.
Research and Botanical Reference
Universities, laboratories, botanical collections, and product-development teams may use authenticated samples for taxonomic, phytochemical, extraction, formulation, or material-characterization research.
Specialty Manufacturing
Depending on the required technical properties, gum ammoniac may be evaluated for specialist binding, coating, adhesive, restoration, and traditional craft applications. Buyers should complete application-specific testing because natural resin performance can vary between lots.
