Dipterocarpus intricatus
Dipterocarpus intricatus
Dipterocarpus intricatus is a plant traditionally not used in any known medicinal practices. Scientific evidence primarily highlights its potential use in analytical chemistry, where an ultrasound-assisted one-pot cloud point extraction method using Dipterocarpus intricatus fruit extract has been developed to determine iron levels in vegetable samples with good precision and low detection limits. Similarly, another study utilized Careya arborea leaf extract for determining nitrate and nitrite in sausages, demonstrating accurate results and effective detection limits. While no significant safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded, further research is needed to explore its broader applications beyond analytical chemistry.
