Il grasso , l'olio e il burro di Sal si ricavano dalla spremitura a freddo delle bacche di una pianta originaria dell'India. Shorea robusta (C.F.Gaertn.1805) appartenente alla famiglia delle Dipterocarpaceae.
Il procedimento di sintesi si svolge in diverse fasi:
A cosa serve e dove si usa
Cosmetici: Il grasso Sal viene spesso utilizzato nell'industria cosmetica, specialmente nella produzione di saponi e creme. A causa della sua consistenza e delle sue proprietà idratanti, può essere un ingrediente utile nei prodotti per la cura della pelle.
Alimentazione: Il burro Sal, una volta raffinato, può essere utilizzato come alternativa al burro di cacao nell'industria del cioccolato, sebbene non sia comunemente utilizzato per questo scopo.
Shorea robusta è stata utilizzata, dalla medicina tradizionale indiana, per curare ferite e guarire diversi disturbi ed è la pianta più usata per uso medicinale in India.
Applicazioni commerciali:
Industria Alimentare. Tradizionalmente utilizzato in alcune culture per cucinare, simile all'utilizzo del burro o di altri grassi animali.
Industria Cosmetica. Impiegato in prodotti per la cura della pelle come creme e lozioni per le sue proprietà idratanti e emollienti.
Prodotti Farmaceutici. Utilizzato come base per unguenti e come eccipiente in alcune formulazioni farmaceutiche.
Saponificazione. Può essere trasformato in sapone, offrendo proprietà idratanti e nutrienti simili a quelle del sapone all'olio di cocco.
Sostenibilità. La produzione di grasso di Sal può essere considerata sostenibile, in quanto proviene da alberi e non da fonti animali.
Forma e Colore.
Si presenta come un solido a temperatura ambiente, con un colore che varia dal bianco al giallo chiaro.
L'olio di Sal ha proprietà cicatrizzanti e ripara ferite provvedendo al ripristino di vasi sanguigni (1) e altri studi hanno confermato e dimostrato l'attività antinfiammatoria e antipiretica in condizioni di infiammazioni dolorose e febbre (2).
Il suo estratto etanolico ha dimostrato proprietà analgesiche centrali e periferiche (3).

Abstract. Context: Shorea robusta Gaertn.f. (Dipterocarpaceae) resin is used for treating infected wounds and burns by tribals in India. Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate wound-healing activity of S. robusta resin extracts and essential oil in rats. Materials and methods: Methanol extract (SRME), petroleum ether, benzene insoluble fraction of methanol extract (SRPEBIME), and essential oil (SREO) of S. robusta resin were incorporated in soft yellow paraffin (10% w/w) and applied once daily ....Discussion and conclusion: SRPEBIME and SREO have significant wound-healing activities on incision and excision wounds.

Abstract. Shorea robusta Gaertn. f. (Sal) is one of the most important traditional Indian medicinal plants. The resin of the plant has been used in the treatment of inflammation in folklore medicine. In the present study, ethanolic extract (70%) of S. robusta resin (SRE) was investigated for its anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities. Acute inflammation was produced by carrageenan-induced hind paw edema and sub-acute by cotton pellet-induced granuloma in male Wistar rats. The antipyretic activity of SRE was studied using Brewer's yeast-induced pyrexia in rats. The rats were divided into five groups with five animals in each group. Group I was treated with vehicle i.e. 1% v/v Tween-80 and served as control. Groups II to IV were treated with three different doses of SRE (30, 100 and 300 mg/kg orally). Group V was treated with standard drug etoricoxib (10 mg/kg orally). The anti-inflammatory activity of SRE was assessed by per cent reduction in edema volume of carrageenan-induced hind paw edema and by per cent decrease in granuloma formation in cotton pellet-induced granuloma test. SRE (100 and 300 mg/kg) produced a significant reduction in edema volume and decrease in granulation tissue formation in rats. Significant reduction in pyrexia was observed at all the dose levels of SRE i.e. 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg. The results of the present study demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities of S. robusta resin and supported its traditional therapeutic use in painful inflammatory conditions and fever.

Abstract. Aim: Shorea robusta (Sal), an important traditional Indian medicinal plant used in various ailments and rituals and the indigenous use of the resin of this plant as a medicament for treatment of various inflammatory conditions is well documented in literature. In the present study, ethanolic extract of S. robusta resin (SRE) was evaluated for its analgesic activity by making use of different central and peripheral pain models....Results: The extract produced significant central and peripheral analgesic effects, as is evident from increase in reaction time in hot plate and tail flick tests, inhibition in writhing counts in acetic acid-induced writhing test, inhibition of licking time in formalin-induced hind paw licking, increased pain threshold in paw withdrawal latency in carrageenan-induced hyperalgesia and increased paw withdrawal threshold in post-surgical pain. Conclusion: The results of the present study demonstrate marked antinociceptive effects of SRE.
