võibaine

Võibaine is an Estonian term that translates to "active ingredient" in English. It refers to the component within a substance, such as a medicine, cosmetic, or pesticide, that is responsible for producing the intended effect. For example, in a pharmaceutical drug, the võibaine is the specific chemical compound that treats a disease or condition. In a cosmetic product, it might be a moisturizing agent or an anti-aging compound.

The concentration and purity of the võibaine are critical factors in determining the efficacy and safety of a product. Regulatory bodies often set strict limits on the permissible levels of active ingredients to ensure they are both effective and safe for consumers. The identification and isolation of the võibaine are often the result of extensive research and development. Understanding the specific võibaine present allows for better control over product quality and predictable outcomes. In the context of traditional remedies or herbal products, identifying the precise võibaine can be complex due to the presence of numerous compounds.
