General Description

Santalin is a naturally occurring red dye extracted from the heartwood of the sandalwood tree. It is primarily composed of santalic acid and is commonly used as a coloring agent in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Santalin has been found to exhibit antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, making it a valuable ingredient in various consumer products. Additionally, it is also used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. However, the extraction of santalin from sandalwood has raised concerns about the sustainable use of the tree and the potential impact on its natural habitat. As a result, efforts are being made to find sustainable sources for santalin production.
