Sterculia quadrifida R.Br: Utilization, Bioactive Compounds, and the Potential as a New Source of Seed Oil - A Comprehensive Review
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Sterculia quadrifida R.Br., a plant native to East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, and northern Australia, has gained increasing attention due to the diverse traditional uses of bark, roots, leaves, and seeds. Recent studies have shown that this plant is rich in bioactive compounds, including antioxidants, anticancer, antimicrobial, and antifungal agents present in all parts of the plant. This review aims to discuss the utilization of this plant by local communities and summarize various research findings on its bioactive compounds and their health benefits. Additionally, the review focuses on the potential of the seeds as a valuable new source of plant oil, as studies on Sterculia quadrifida R.Br. seeds have revealed high lipid content, diverse fatty acids including linoleic and palmitic acids, sterculic acid, triterpenoid, and β-sitosterol, which contribute to their antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. This review provides opportunities for further research on the extraction of Sterculia quadrifida R.Br. seed oil and its applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors.
