• No documented timber or significant fiber uses.
Fragrance and cosmetics:
• No established uses.
Properties relevant to use:
• High starch content with a typical amylose/amylopectin ratio supporting gelation and film formation for sizing and adhesives; condensed tannin content that provides affinity for protein fibers and enables brown dye production.
Standards and regulation:
• As a food ingredient, governed by national food regulations for bulk commodities and processed foods where marketed.
Sustainability and sourcing:
