Preliminary investigation assesses miswak extractives' potential applications in the building sector, suggesting innovative uses beyond dental care.
Miswak (Salvadora persica) has been widely researched for its use in oral hygiene, valued for its antimicrobial and therapeutic properties (Nordin et al., 2020). Although its use has primarily been limited to dental care, the rich chemical profi le of miswak suggests broader potential (El-Sherbiny et al., 2023). This preliminary study aimed to explore the functional properties of miswak wood extractives to assess their potential for alternative applications in the building sector.
