General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
* Bulb starch: Extracted and utilized industrially, primarily as an adulterant in food products due to its similar appearance to other starches like arrowroot (*Maranta arundinacea*) and tapioca (*Manihot esculenta*).
Industrial and craft applications:
* Bulb starch: Employed as a filler, binding agent, or thickener in paper and textile processing, leveraging its polysaccharide properties.
Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
* Bulb starch: Documented in scientific literature as a component found in food products through adulteration, not as a deliberately processed ingredient.
Colorants and tanning:
No verified non-medicinal uses documented for Drimia indica (Roxb.) Jessop.
Wood and fiber:
No verified non-medicinal uses documented for Drimia indica (Roxb.) Jessop.
Fragrance and cosmetics:
No verified non-medicinal uses documented for Drimia indica (Roxb.) Jessop.
Properties relevant to use:
* Bulb starch: Characterized in studies with an amylose content of approximately 25-27% and amylopectin at 73-75%, influencing gelatinization and binding properties.
Scientific/model-organism use:
* Genomic resources: Sequence data for the species (including *rbcL* gene sequences) is deposited in major genetic databases like NCBI GenBank, supporting molecular phylogenetic studies within the Drimia/Squillinae complex.
* Phytochemical research: The bulbs are a documented source of steroidal saponins andbufadienolides, compounds of interest in scientific research (non-medical contexts).
Standards and regulation:
No specific standards or regulatory frameworks listed for Drimia indica (Roxb.) Jessop uses.
Sustainability and sourcing:
No specific sustainability or sourcing data documented for Drimia indica (Roxb.) Jessop.
