Quassin - 92%

Controlled Product

CAS: 76-78-8

Quassin - 92% is a highly purified biochemical, which is an extremely bitter compound derived from the plant family Simaroubaceae, particularly from the Quassia amara and Picrasma excelsa species. As a tetracyclic triterpenoid, it is obtained through the extraction and purification processes applied to the wood and bark of these plants.

The mode of action of Quassin is primarily as a feeding deterrent and growth disruptor for various insect species. Its bitterness discourages feeding, acting as a natural insecticide. Moreover, Quassin has been shown to possess antifeedant and larvicidal properties, making it an effective component in managing agricultural pests without the drawbacks of synthetic pesticides.

Quassin is widely used in both agricultural and food industries. Its applications include serving as an environmentally friendly insecticide for crops, due to its natural origin and degradability. Additionally, it is utilized in the food industry as a bittering agent, enhancing flavors in beverages and other consumables.
