- Indonesia is one of the world’s largest
exporters of tropical non-wood products. Rattan, resin, essential oils,
kapok and cinchona bark (quinine) exports in 1986 generated US $134
million in foreign exchange.
- The genus
Cinchona
contains about forty species of trees. They grow 15-20 meters in
height and produce white, pink, or yellow flowers.
- The main plant chemicals found in
quinine bark include: cincholic acid, cinchonain, cinchonidine.
- A recent use for quinine drugs has
been for the treatment of muscle spasms and leg cramps.
- It is thought that 300-500
metric tons of quinine alkaloids are extracted annually from
5,000-10,000 metric tons of harvested bark.
- Commercially-produced tonic water
usually contains around 100 to 300 parts per million quinine per litre.
