Cultivated by Organicsio | Verified Genotype
Crescentia Cujete (Kamandal / Calabash Tree)
Standardized Fruit Dimensions
Controlled Cultivation Site: Zone 5
The Organicsio Advantage
Organicsio utilizes specific genotype tracking for Crescentia cujete to maximize the yield of Iridoid glycosides within the fruit pulp. Unlike wild-harvested stock, our controlled grove architecture minimizes soil heavy metal uptake—critical for this bio-accumulating species—ensuring that the resulting extracts meet stringent B2B pharmacopeial standards for respiratory formulations.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The pulp is characterized by a complex matrix of organic acids (Tartaric, Citric, HCN) and bioactive Iridoids. Secondary metabolites include naphthoquinones and flavonoids (Quercetin, Aphidicolin) that demonstrate significant antimicrobial and expectorant properties in clinical isolation.
Commercial Applications
- Respiratory Syrups: Expectorant formulations for herbal cough relief.
- Dermatologicals: Firming agents derived from fruit pulp tannins.
- Gastro-Intestinal: Traditional preparations for mild laxative effects.
