ABSTRACT

Hevea brasiliensis, a rubber tree or rubber plant, is a flowering plant of the Euphorbiaceous family Spurge. Traditionally Hevea brasiliensis used as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, treatment of muscle and joint pain. This review paper aims to highlight some of the medicinal values, edible uses, species, cultivation and growth stages of Hevea brasiliensis. Milky rubber extracted from the tree is the number one source of herbal rubber so it's far the maximum economically essential member of the Hevea species. Hevea brasiliensis is a species of rubber timber. These trees are usually discovered in low-altitude wet forests, wetlands, riparian zones, wooded area gaps, and disturbed regions. Natural rubber or latex from the Hevea brasiliensis is an essential commodity in diverse financial sectors in modern present day society. Proteins had been detected in latex since the early twentieth century, and they're recognized to adjust numerous organic pathways in the Hevea Brasiliensis trees including the natural rubber biosynthesis, defence against pathogens, wound recovery, and stress tolerance. Rubber seed, both as feed or meals, is a beneficial raw material to provide fit to be eaten oil and protein. Despite the large amount of rubber seeds produced in the northeast and their potential as a protein source, rubber seeds appear to be overlooked and underutilised as feed/meals due to the perception that they are inedible and dangerous due to high levels of cyanogenic glycoside. As a result, the search for effective processing technique(s) to improve its food usage application may be extremely appropriate.
