Product description
Product Description
Product Description
Product obtained from the extraction of Copaiba trees. Natural product. No
additives.
FATTY ACID COMPOSITION AND PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL DATA
The chemical composition of the oil-resin of copaíba is thought to have
approximately 72 sesquiterpenes (hydrocarbons) and 28 diterpenes (carboxylic
acids), and the oil is composed by 50% of each of these terpenes. Diterpenes
are attributed in the majority for therapeutic applications, a scientifically
proven fact. Sesquiterpenes are partially responsible for the aroma of the
oil-resin and also have antiulcer, antiviral, and anti-rhinovirus properties.
Researchers have found that the oil-resin of copaiba has anti-inflammatory
action. This potential was shown to be two times higher than that found in the
diclofenac sodium, one of the most widely used anti-inflammatory drugs in the
market.
AUTHENTICITY OF COPAIBA
One of the main problems with selling copaíba oil-resin is that it is
adulterated, usually with vegetable oil. One of the conventional methods used
to test for this is to determine the acidity; less than 80 mg KOH/g of oil-
resin indicates contamination. The lower the acidity value of the oil-resin
means that there is a larger amount of vegetable oil mixed in. In turn the
ester value of the oil-resin of copaíba can help determine the type of
contaminant. If the ester value exceeds 23 mg KOH/g of oil-resin, it indicates
that the contaminant is a compound comprised of fatty substances, such as
vegetable oil or something of animal origin, and if it is less it indicates
that the contaminant is not a fatty substance, for example mineral oil. We do
workshops in the communities to teach how to use the volumetric test.
APPLICATIONS
In traditional medicine there are many uses for copaiba, indicating a wide
range of pharmacological properties. It is used to treat respiratory and
urinary tract infections due to its healing and anti-inflammatory abilities. It
is known as a natural antibiotic that is highly effective against gram-positive
bacteria. In the industrial-cosmetic industry, it is used as a component of
fragrance in perfumes and in cosmetics, such as soaps and creams, because of
its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, tiand emollient properties.
