General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
Seeds and seed oil. Seeds contain around 20% (v/v) non-drying, non-odorous fixed oil with an iodine value of about 80 and a saponification value near 190; the fatty acid profile is primarily linoleic (C18:2, 41–45%), palmitic (C16:0, 25–28%) and stearic (C18:0, 10–12%) acids.
Industrial and craft applications:
Oil is recorded as a soap-making raw material and a base for varnish due to its low unsaponifiable fraction (about 2%). Iodine and saponification values align with typical soap and varnish oil classes.
Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
No food or beverage uses are documented for this species in cited sources; seeds are noted as highly toxic and inedible without thorough treatment.
Colorants and tanning:
No tanning or dye uses are recorded for this species.
Wood and fiber:
No timber, construction, or fiber applications are recorded in referenced literature.
Fragrance and cosmetics:
No fragrance or cosmetic uses are documented.
Properties relevant to use:
Saponin-rich seed coats; fixed oil composition; documented case of accidental toxicity from heavy seeded, starchy, sweet pulp and the presence of bitter alkaloid-like substances.
Standards and regulation:
No specific standards or regulatory frameworks are cited for the species, though saponin-rich seeds are generally treated as toxic materials in commerce and safety classifications.
Sustainability and sourcing:
No sustainability or sourcing data are documented in the cited sources.
