Arunkumara KKIU, Walpola BC, Subasinghe S, Yoon M-H (2011) Pterocarpus santalinus Linn. f. (Rath handun): a review of its botany, uses, phytochemistry and pharmacology. J Korean Soc Appl Biol Chem 54:495–500 The colour and fragrance of P. santalinus heartwood are derived from santalins while the pleasent aroma is caused by the presence of terpenoids (Kumar et al. 1974). A dye prepared from the heartwood of P. santalinus is used as a stain in light microscopy (Banerjee and Mukherjee 1981; Sen Gupta and Mukherjee 1981), as a coloring agent in pharmaceutical preparations, in food, leather and textile industries (Ankalaiah et al. 2017), and as a textile dye (Gulrajani et al. 2002). The medicinal properties of P. santalinus have been extensively reviewed elsewhere (Navada and Vittal 2014; Azamthulla et al. 2015) and will not be covered in this review. However, multiple uses (Table S2), ethnomedicinal uses (Table S3), and phytochemistry (Table S4) have been provided as supplementary tables to offer a more rounded appreciation of this tree in the context of this review. Red Sandalwood may be classified as a spice extract due to its santalin compound, which gives it a red colour.

Sal Tree: Benefits, Uses, Formulati..

The nomenclature and the taxonomy of the genus are derived from this species' historical and widespread use. Etymologically it is ultimately derived from Sanskrit चन्दन Chandana ( čandana), meaning "wood for burning incense" and related to candrah, "shining, glowing" and the Latin candere, to shine or glow. It arrived in English via Late Greek, Medieval Latin and Old French in the 14th or 15th century. [1] The sandalwood is indigenous to the tropical belt of peninsular India, the Malay Archipelago and northern Australia [2] [3] The main distribution is in the drier tropical regions of India and the Indonesian islands of Timor and Sumba. [4] [5] True sandalwoods [ edit ] A closeup of sandal saplings Santalum album Red sanders, Red sanderswood, Red saunders, Red sandalwood, Ruby wood, Red Sandas, Sandalwood, Almug, Saunderswood and Agaru are some of the popular common names of the plant.

Traditional seed propagation of P. santalinus yields low germination percentages due to a hard testa, poor viability, and sensitivity to temperature (Kumar and Gopal 1975; Dayanand and Lohidas 1988; Anuradha and Pullaiah 1998; Naidu 2001a, b; Naidu and Rajendrudu 2001). Dried, soaked and scarified P. santalinus pods resulted in 49% germination (Kumarasinghe et al. 2003) although seed germination in natural stands or under artificial propagation is generally low (− 30%) (Kumar and Gopal 1975; Dayanand and Lohidas 1988; Kalimuthu and Lakshmanan 1995; Naidu 2001a, b;Naidu and Rajendrudu 2001). Alternate wetting and drying every 48 h enhanced germination, reaching 73% (Vijayalakshmi and Renganayaki 2017). Seed germination, seedling height, and root collar diameter were all significantly stimulated by fire (Kukrety et al. 2013b). Presoaking P. santalinus pods with 500 mg/L gibberellic acid for 24 h resulted in 66.7% seed germination, as well as improved plant growth and seedling survival relative to other treatments with tap water, luke warm water, gibberellic acid, H 2SO 4 or HCl (Patel et al. 2018).

Indian For 122:831–833 Producing commercially valuable sandalwood with high levels of fragrance oils requires Indian sandalwood ( S. album) trees to be a minimum of 15 years old – the yield, quality and volume are still to be clearly understood. Yield of oil tends to vary depending on the age and location of the tree; usually, the older trees yield the highest oil content and quality. Australia is the largest producer of S. album, with the majority grown around Kununurra, in the far north of the state by Quintis (formerly Tropical Forestry Services), which in 2017 controlled around 80% of the world's supply of Indian sandalwood, [17] and Santanol. [18] India used to be the world's biggest producer, but it has been overtaken by Australia in the 21st century. Over-exploitation is partly to blame for the decline. [19] [20]
