Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The primary bioactive constituents of our Pongamia assets are furanoflavonoids, specifically Karanjin and Pongamol. The fixed oil profile is rich in oleic acid (approx. 50%) and linoleic acid, providing excellent carrier properties for transdermal absorption. Regular batch testing confirms glabrin content is managed within safe pharmaceutical limits for external applications.
