In Thailand,it is found in all regions, especially in sparse forests with many varieties of trees. The stem contains a high amount of resin. The fresh or semi-ripe fruit can be consumed and used as an astringent, a digestive, and antidysenteric product due to a high level of tannin, pectin and mucilage, which have the properties of anti-peptic ulcer and laxative. It is used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries. The mucilage from Baelfruit expands in water, which helps increase the viscosity of a solution. It is used as an additive, in which it acts as a suspending agent, a surfactant, and an emulsifying agent. The mucilage is composed of D-galacturonic acid, D-galactose, L-arabinose, and L-rhamnose.
