Sandalwood, belonging to the Santalaceae family, is a traditional medicine widely distributed in India, Australia, Hawaii, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. It contains bioactive compounds such as essential oil, phenolic compounds, and fatty acids, which contribute to its various biological activities and health-promoting effects. Studies have shown that sandalwood extract possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, neuroleptic, antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic, and anticancer activities. Safety studies have confirmed the use of sandalwood essential oil and its extracts as safe ingredients for health promotion. Its phytoconstituents, bioactivities, and traditional uses make sandalwood an innovative material for applications in the pharmaceutical, food, and biomedical industry.
Santalum genus belongs to the family of Santalaceae, widespread in India, Australia, Hawaii, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia, and valued as traditional medicine, rituals and modern bioactivities. Sandalwood is reported to possess a plethora of bioactive compounds such as essential oil and its components (alpha-santalol and beta-santalol), phenolic compounds and fatty acids. These bioactives play important role in contributing towards biological activities and health-promoting effects in humans. Pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown the role of sandalwood extract as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, neuroleptic, antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic, and anticancer activities. Safety studies on sandalwood essential oil (EO) and its extracts have proven them as a safe ingredient to be utilized in health promotion. Phytoconstituents, bioactivities and traditional uses established sandalwood as one of the innovative materials for application in the pharma, food, and biomedical industry.
