A review of bioactive compounds of Caesalpinia sappan: Pre- and post-harvest effect

Annisa Lugina Rachman, Santi Rosniawaty, Syariful Mubarok, Cucu Suherman, Yudithia Maxiselly

Abstract

Sappanwood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) is a shrub or small tree that thrives in tropical regions and has been widely distributed across various areas. It has long been used as a natural dye in textiles, cosmetics, and herbal beverages due to its content of various bioactive compounds. This literature review discusses the secondary metabolites in sappanwood, their health benefits, and strategies to enhance product quality through pre-harvest and post-harvest treatments. This literature review was conducted by searching for relevant journals on Google Scholar using relevant keywords. Sappanwood contains diverse secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, phenolics, anthraquinones, triterpenoids, steroids, alkaloids, and tannins, with the heartwood generally having the highest concentration, particularly of brazilin. Various production techniques have been studied to optimize morphological and physiological traits as well as secondary metabolite content, such as adjusting planting density and applying different types of fertilizers. Post-harvest treatments, including drying and blanching, are also critical as they influence product quality and bioactive compound retention.

Keywords
