The Neem Oil in Light to Dark Brown Colour is generally light to dark brown, bitter and has a rather strong odour that is said to combine the odors of peanut and garlic. It comprises mainly triglycerides and large amounts of triterpenoid compounds, which are responsible for the bitter taste. It is hydrophobic in nature and in order to emulsify it in water for application purposes, it must be formulated with appropriate surfactants. Pragya International manufactures Neem Oil in Light to Dark Brown Colour.
Pragya International supplies various types of herbs and herbal extracts. The neem oil also contains steroids and a plethora of triterpenoids of which Azadirachtin is the most well known and studied. The Azadirachtin content of Neem Oil varies from 300ppm to over 2000ppm depending on the quality of the neem seeds crushed.
