General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Common products:
- Timber for construction and furniture (if used in trade as “White dhup” or “Ghof”).
- Seed oil for wood finishing/paint and industrial applications; also reported as edible in some regions after processing.

Industrial and craft applications:
- Oil-based wood finishes and varnishes; the oil contains unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic/oleic) facilitating oxidative polymerization and film formation.
- Natural resin/gum exudates used as varnish components or adhesives; the resin is soluble in alcohols and hydrocarbons.

Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
- Edible seed oil following traditional processing; used for cooking/frying; oil yields are moderate to high; fatty acid composition is suitable for food use.

Colorants and tanning:
- Bark/tannin-rich bark used for leather tanning; tannins are hydrolyzable and provide high chrome uptake.

Wood and fiber:
- Timber is moderately hard to hard, with a straight to interlocked grain; suitable for construction, beams, and furniture components.
- “Bast” fibers or inner bark are occasionally used for cordage.

Fragrance and cosmetics:
- Flowers are fragrant and occasionally used in perfumery; the oil may be applied in aromatic mixtures.

Properties relevant to use:
- Seed oil: saponification value (195–210 mg KOH/g), iodine value (110–130 g I2/100 g) indicative of drying properties; low water content (
