About MFP-PARC Can Be Sought from Madhya Pradesh - A basket-full of medicinal herbs Madhya Pradesh state is located in the center of India. The name ''Madhya Pradesh'' it self means 'central province'. The state of Madhya Pradesh is endowed with very rich and varied natural forest resources. Out of its total geographical area of 308 thousand sq. kms., 95 thousand sq. kms. (about 31%) is under forest cover. These forests are home to the largest tiger population in the country (hence, the state is also known as the Tiger State of India). These forests are also home to innumerable medicinal plants. The Indian sub continent it self is a mega biodiversity region. India is divided into 16 Agro climatic zones, out of which 11 are represented in Madhya Pradesh. This explains the range of soil and climatic conditions prevailing in this state. This is why; most of the tropical medicinal herbs can be grown in Madhya Pradesh. The Madhya Pradesh State Minor Forest Produce (Trading & Development) Co- operative Federation Limited was formed in 1984 to ensure the participation of forest dwellers in the collection and trade of non timber forest produce of the state. Indian forest policy, 1988 also has laid emphasis on managing Non Timber Forest Produce (NTFP) in order to give benefits to forest dwellers as it is matter of livelihood for them. M. P. State MFP Co-op. Federation is the state level apex body of three-tier structure of co-operative bodies. At village level there are 1066 Primary Forest produce Co-operative Societies & at district level there are 60 District Forest Produce Co-operative Unions. The MFP Federation co-ordinates collection and processing of three nationalized forest produce, namely Tendu leaves (the leaves of Diospyrus melanoxylon, used for rolling small cigars), Sal Seed (shorea robusta), & Kullu Gum (Sterculia urens), through Primary Forest Produce Co-operative Societies in the State and organizes disposal of these produce. In addition, other non-nationalized Non Timber Forest Produces are also being collected and traded by the Primary Forest Produce Co-operative Societies. The Madhya Pradesh State Minor Forest Produce (Trading & Development) Co- operative Federation Limited has carried out a rapid survey of some of the non timber forest produce resources of greater commercial importance of the state. Details of these resources can be sought from our website - www.mfpfederation.com. To facilitate these NTFP collectors & MFP growers, MFP Federation has established a Processing & Research centre in Bhopal (the capital of M.P.) in 2002-2003. This certre is known as Minor Forest Produce Processing & Research Centre (MFP-PARC). MFP_PARC is working in the following areas-- • Quality control & development of standards. • Development of processing technology for NTFP. • Spreading awareness about our herbal wealth. • Marketing assistance for NTFP & its products. • Processing & marketing of honey & herbal products. Unique Features of MFP-PARC -- • A unit of largest successful cooperative body in the state. • Mostly all products are organic in nature. • Our products are tested in state-of-the-art in-house laboratory. • Most of the raw material is sourced from village level minor forest produce cooperative societies. • GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified unit. • ISO 9001: 2000 certified unit. • Training programs are organized to inculcate awareness about good harvesting practices among the collectors of medicinal & aromatic plants. • Training programs are also organized to impart agro-techniques of medicinal plants. • Profits are ploughed back to the primary collectors. MFP-PARC is the largest & state-of-the-art manufacturing unit of Vindhya Herbals products in Madhya Pradesh. Vindhya Herbals is the registered trademark of M.P. State Minor Forest Produce (Trading & Development) Co-operative Federation Ltd. Various Sections of MFP-PARC are as under-- 1.

These production operations are supervised by well qualified & highly experienced ayurveda professionals. 4. Human Resource Development Section -- Regular training programs are organized for primary MFP Co-operative societies, Joint Forest Management Committees, Field Staff of Forest Department etc. Tailor made 2 training programs are also conducted for the specific requirements of target groups working in Minor Forest Produce Sector. 5. The Park of MFP-PARC -- MFP-PARC is housed in the lush green setting of nursery & production plots of various medicinal & aromatic plants. Over 150 species of medicinal & aromatic plants are available in this well maintained campus & provides a rare opportunity to all the stakeholders of Minor Forest Produces to see them live & in natural setting.

In this study, oil was extracted from the seed by conventional soxhlet extraction with n-hexane and ultrasonication technique. Seeds without wing were found to contain about 15% oil for 6 hours soxhlet extraction at 50°C and 45 minutes ultrasonication at 40°C. Fatty acid composition of the soxhlet extracted oil analyzed by GC-FID showed stearic acid and oleic acid as the major components. Acid value, iodine value, saponification value, peroxide value, refractive index, viscosity were also determined. Thermogravimetric analysis of the oil for the determination of the thermal stability of the oil. Transesterification and Saponification process were carried out to produce Biodiesel and the soap from the extracted seed oil. The produced biodiesel and the soap were characterized and a comparative studies were carried out with international standards. The optimum yield for biodiesel was found around 40% of the raw materials and the cytotoxic analysis of the produced soap were carried out. The integrated production of biodiesel and soap from Sal seed oil will bring a drastic change in the realization fuel and cosmetic industries.

  • Von Hagen•Annotated+Index
    Introduction This annotated bibliography is intended for researchers, managers, policymakers, and industry participants concerned with development and conservation of non- timber forest products in the Pacific Northwest. Citations are followed by brief abstracts that highlight key themes as well as research methods, the location of the research or analysis, and the implications for management of nontimber forest products in the Pacific Northwest. Keywords at the end of each annotation are organized in an index that references species (both common and scientific name), geographic location, and key themes, topics, and organizations. The Pacific Northwest Research Station is also making this annotated bibliography available on diskette. The regional literature on nontimber forest products is fairly limited, although it has expanded considerably in the last 5 years. Much of the regional literature, espe- cially that addressing management and policy options, remains, however, in the realm of “gray” literature: unpublished manuscripts, discussion papers, proceedings of meetings, and agency memos. Given the wealth of information and perspectives, we have chosen to include regional gray literature in this bibliography. We also have drawn heavily on global lessons of nontimber forest product manage- ment, particularly from the Amazon basin, where nontimber forest product devel- opment has been attempted as a conservation mechanism, and from Scandinavia, where substantial government efforts have been directed towards catalyzing berry and mushroom collecting and bough production for rural development purposes. We have been hampered in our search of global examples by language barriers, access to publications, and time. In particular, a further exploration of the literature in Japanese, Russian, and Polish is warranted.
