Common Name: Jatoba
Product: Jatoba Bark Powder
Scientific Name: Hymenaea courbaril L.
Family: Fabaceae
Plant Part: Bark
Form: Powder
Origin: Brazil
Hymenaea courbaril L. is an accepted botanical species with a natural distribution extending through tropical America, including several regions of Brazil.
The botanical identity can be verified through Plants of the World Online – Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
Correct botanical identification is particularly important for international ingredient buyers because commercial names such as “Jatoba” may be applied regionally to different botanical materials.
Jatoba Bark Powder is obtained by drying and milling the bark of the Jatoba tree into a powdered botanical ingredient.
Compared with whole or cut bark, the powdered format provides a practical raw material for companies that need a botanical ingredient for further processing, blending, extraction or product development.
The final suitability of the ingredient depends on the buyer’s intended application, required specifications and regulations in the destination market.
For industrial purchasing, buyers should evaluate the botanical identity, plant part, physical characteristics, microbiological parameters, contaminant requirements, packaging, storage conditions and batch documentation before approving the material.
Jatoba has a long history in traditional South American botanical practices.
Different parts of Hymenaea courbaril, including bark, leaves, resin and fruit, have been used historically in traditional preparations. Bark preparations are particularly associated with traditional herbal infusions and botanical products.
Traditional use, however, should not be confused with clinically proven therapeutic effectiveness.
Modern scientific research has investigated extracts of Hymenaea courbaril to better understand their phytochemical composition and biological properties. Most available findings come from laboratory, chemical or preclinical studies rather than large controlled human clinical trials.
This distinction is important for importers and manufacturers developing compliant botanical products.
Scientific investigations of Hymenaea courbaril and its bark extracts have reported several groups of naturally occurring phytochemicals.
Researchers have investigated compounds belonging to groups such as:
The exact chemical profile can vary according to plant material, geographic origin, processing conditions and extraction method.
Therefore, research performed with a specific extract should not automatically be interpreted as representing every commercial Jatoba Bark Powder.
For industrial formulations requiring defined concentrations of particular compounds, buyers should request appropriate technical documentation and analytical testing.
Scientific interest in Hymenaea courbaril has increased as researchers investigate its botanical chemistry and potential biological activities.
Laboratory studies have evaluated the antioxidant capacity of extracts obtained from Hymenaea courbaril.
Researchers have associated some of the observed antioxidant activity with phenolic compounds naturally present in the plant.
A study published in the journal Antibiotics evaluated phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, antimicrobial activity and antibiofilm potential of different Hymenaea courbaril extracts.
Read the study at PubMed Central.
These findings relate to experimental extracts and laboratory models. They should not be interpreted as evidence that commercial Jatoba Bark Powder prevents or treats disease in humans.
Researchers have also directly investigated extracts obtained from the stem bark of Hymenaea courbaril.
A study published in the Brazilian Journal of Biology examined a standardized liquid extract prepared from Jatoba stem bark, including its phytochemical profile and biological activity in experimental models.
Read the study at SciELO.
This type of research helps characterize the plant scientifically, but it does not establish clinical effectiveness for a commercial bark powder.
A scientific review of Hymenaea courbaril discusses the plant’s phytochemical composition and summarizes research into several biological activities investigated in laboratory and preclinical studies.
See the review through PubMed or PubMed Central.
Additional clinical research is necessary before laboratory findings can be translated into specific therapeutic claims.
Jatoba Bark Powder may be considered as a raw material by companies working with botanical ingredients and traditional herbal products.
Potential B2B applications may include:
Botanical importers and distributors may include Jatoba Bark Powder within portfolios of Brazilian and South American plant materials.
Companies developing traditional herbal products may evaluate Jatoba Bark Powder as a formulation ingredient, subject to local regulatory requirements.
The powdered format can be evaluated as a starting botanical material for companies performing further extraction or processing.
The extraction solvent, concentration ratio, analytical profile and final specifications should be established by the company responsible for processing.
Research laboratories and product development teams may evaluate Jatoba botanical material when studying Brazilian plant ingredients and their chemical composition.
Jatoba Bark Powder may also be evaluated for inclusion in multi-botanical formulations where legally permitted and technically appropriate.
Important: permitted applications and regulatory classifications vary between countries. Importers and product developers should verify the applicable regulations in the destination market before using or marketing Jatoba Bark Powder in foods, supplements, herbal products, cosmetics or other finished products.
Powdered botanical materials can offer practical advantages for industrial handling and further processing.
Depending on the intended application, the powder format may facilitate:
Required particle size and other physical specifications should always be confirmed before purchasing.
Professional sourcing involves more than comparing prices.
Before confirming an order, importers should evaluate the specifications required for their particular market and application.
Important purchasing criteria can include:
Confirm that the material corresponds to Hymenaea courbaril L. and that the plant part supplied is bark.
For buyers specifically sourcing Brazilian botanicals, documentation should clearly identify the origin of the commercial material.
Depending on the application, buyers may need information about:
Microbiological specifications depend on the intended application and destination market.
Buyers should communicate their required parameters before placing the order.
Different countries and product categories may impose requirements related to contaminants, residues or other analytical parameters.
The importer should provide any destination-specific testing requirements during the quotation process.
A Certificate of Analysis (COA) can provide important batch-related information.
Contact Prover Brasil to request the documentation available for the current product lot.
Packaging requirements should protect the botanical raw material during storage and international transportation.
Specific packaging configuration, quantity and storage requirements should be confirmed with the export department when requesting a quotation.

Jatoba Bark Powder is a powdered botanical raw material produced from the bark of the Jatoba tree. The botanical species supplied by Prover Brasil is identified as Hymenaea courbaril L.
The scientific name used for this product is Hymenaea courbaril L., a species belonging to the Fabaceae family.
The species is recognized by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, through its Plants of the World Online database.
Hymenaea courbaril is native to tropical America and occurs naturally in Brazil as well as other countries in Central and South America.
The Jatoba Bark Powder offered on this page is supplied as a Brazilian-origin botanical ingredient.
No.
Jatoba Bark Powder is produced from the bark of the tree. Jatoba Fruit Powder or flour is produced from material associated with the fruit.
They are different botanical raw materials and should not be treated as interchangeable ingredients.
Potential buyers include botanical ingredient distributors, herbal-product companies, extraction businesses, research organizations and other companies working with plant-based raw materials.
Permitted use depends on the regulations of the destination country and the intended final product.
Yes. Researchers have investigated Hymenaea courbaril, including bark and other plant parts, for phytochemical composition and biological activity.
However, much of the existing evidence comes from laboratory and preclinical research. These findings do not by themselves demonstrate that commercial Jatoba Bark Powder can prevent, diagnose, treat or cure human diseases.
