Coumarin
Coumarin is an organic substance found naturally in some plants. Its alternative names, which may be less well known, are Calumba wood, Harichandan and Pitchandan. Coumarin is a substance that has a characteristic vanilla scent with sweet and fruity notes. This fragrance latke is often used in the perfume industry. Because of its fragrant character, it is also often used in the production of flavoured pipe tobacco, disinfectants and soaps.
In addition to perfumes and fragrances, Coumarin is also used in the pharmaceutical industry. Studies have shown that it has anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antitumour properties, which have led to its use in the manufacture of medicines to treat various medical conditions. Plants containing coumarin, such as St. John's wort, are also used in traditional medicine. However, it should be stressed that coumarin can be toxic at high intakes and can cause liver damage. Therefore, the use of this substance in the diet is regulated in some countries, including the European Union.
