Rescate de un Patrimonio Forestal Chileno Manejo Sustentable y Valorización de sus Productos EDITORES Susana Benedetti Ruiz1 Santiago Barros Asenjo2 1 Ingeniera Forestal. Investigadora Sede Metropolitana INFOR. Jefa Proyecto Innovación Silvícola e Industrial del Boldo en la Zona Central de Chile. [email protected] 2 Ingeniero Forestal. Relaciones Internacionales y Transferencia Tecnológica INFOR [email protected] Boldo (Peumus boldus Mol.) - Rescate de un patrimonio forestal chileno. Prólogo MANEJO SUSTENTABLE Y VALORIZACIÓN DE SUS PRODUCTOS PRÓLOGO El boldo (Peumus boldus Mol.) es una especie nativa y endémica de Chile presente en formaciones naturales de amplia distribución en la zona central y sur del país, entre las Regiones de Coquimbo y Los Lagos. El uso de su madera, sus hojas y sus frutos es de larga data; los pueblos originarios antes de la llegada de los españoles ya usaban sus hojas para infusiones con fines digestivos y medicinales lo que sigue siendo una arraigada costumbre nacional. Su valor medicinal radica en principios activos contenidos tanto en sus hojas como en su corteza. El principal de ellos es el alcaloide conocido como boldina, producto que ya en el siglo XIX despertaba el interés en otros países, como Francia, donde en 1872 ya se realizaban investigaciones sobre sus propiedades. Desde principios del siglo XX las hojas de boldo han trascendido el mercado nacional y se han ex- portado a distintos países con la consecuente presión sobre el recurso, el cual se ha visto reducido en superficie y degradado en los bosques existentes debido a prácticas extractivas que no aseguran su sustentabilidad.

This randomised, controlled, open-label 2-parallel arm trial examined the effects of daily stevia consumption on glycaemia in healthy adults. Secondary endpoints included body weight (BW) and energy intake (EI). Healthy participants (n = 28; aged 25 5y, body mass index 21.2 1.7 kg/m2) were randomised ± ± into either the stevia group (n = 14)—required to consume a stevia extract daily—or to the control group (n = 14). At weeks 0 and 12, the glucose and insulin responses to an oral glucose tolerance test were measured; BW and EI were assessed at weeks 0, 6, and 12. There was no significant difference in the glucose or insulin responses.

Received: June 13, 2015 Revised: July 3, 2015 Accepted: July 19, 2015 Abstract The cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (Fabricus) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a major pest of stored cowpea militating against food security in developing nations. The comparative study of Xylopia aethiopica and Aframomum melegueta powder in respect to their phytochemical and insecticidal properties against C. maculatus was carried out using a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments (0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5g/20g cowpea seeds corresponding to 0.0, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1 and 0.13% v/w) replicated thrice under ambient laboratory condition (28±2°C temperature and 75±5% relative humidity). The phytochemical screening showed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, cardiac glycoside in both plants, while alkaloids was present in A. melegueta and absent in X. aethiopica. The mortality of C. maculatus increased gradually with exposure time and dosage of the plant powders.
