PIPER HISPIDINERVUM OIL (Oleo de Pimenta Longa)

Safrole is an important raw material for the chemical industry because of two derivatives: heliotropin, which is widely used as a fragrance and flavoring agent, and piperonyl butoxide (PBO), a vital ingredient of pyrethroid insecticides. Natural pyrethrum in particular would not be an economical insecticide without the addiction of PBO as a synergist and the future of the natural pyrethrum industry is linked to the continued availability of PBO. Safrole has many fragrance applications in household products such as floor waxes, polishes, soaps, detergents, and cleaning agents.

Sassafras oil is important to several products. It was used as an ingredient in popular beverages, such as "pinga com sassafras" in Brazil, and was once used as an ingredient for "root beer" in the United States. It has been used as a topical antiseptic and pediculicide, but it may be carcinogenic.
