Abstract: Burdock (Arctium lappa L.) is one of the nutritional foods widely planted in many countries. Dried burdock root (BR) is available as a herbal tincture and tea in many Asian countries with good flavor and taste. In this study, the volatile components in dried BR were identified and the effects of different drying methods on the volatile components were investigated by HS-GC-MS method. A total of 49 compounds were identified. Different drying methods including hot-air drying (HD, at 50, ◦ ◦ 60, 70, and 80 C), vacuum drying (VD, at 50, 60, 70, and 80 C), sunlight drying (SD), natural drying (ND), and vacuum freeze drying (VFD) were evaluated by HS-GC-MS-based metabolomics method.

The research aimed to obtain different fractions by sequential extraction (hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate water) of burdock roots and to evaluate phytochemical compounds in them. Antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of nonpolar fractions were evaluated. Ethyl acetate fraction contained the highest total phenolics, total flavonoids, and derivatives of caffeic acids. Phenolic acids (mainly chlorogenic, caffeic acid, and p-coumaric acids) were detected only in the ethyl acetate fraction, while in the hexane fraction was found only triterpenes. Due to the high polyphenol content, the ethyl acetate fraction demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity. Three fractions revealed antimicrobial activity against Salmonella sp., Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Candida albicans. -

The circadian clock is the system that regulates the internal daily rhythm, and it affects the pattern of beta diversity in mouse intestinal microbiota. Burdock (Arctium lappa) root contains a high concentration of inulin/fructan (approximately 50%) and is a very popular vegetable in Japan. Arctium lappa also contains functional substances that may affect intestinal microbiota, such as polyphenols. We compared the effects of inulin and A. lappa powder on the diversity of the intestinal microbiota of HFD-fed mice. 16S rDNA from the intestinal microbiota obtained from feces was analyzed by 16S Metagenomic Sequencing Library Preparation. -

The Production of Burdock (Arctium Lappa L .) Root in New Zealand - a Preliminary Study of a New Vegetable
The production of Burdock (Arctium lappa L .) root in New Zealand - a preliminary study of a new vegetable. M. H. Douglas\ J. L. Burgmans2, L .C. Burton1 and B. M. Smallfield3 1 New Zealand Institute for Crop & Food Research Ltd., Redbank Research Station, PO Box 42, Clyde. 2 New Zealand Institute for Crop & Food Research Ltd., East Coast Research Centre, PO Box 85, Hastings. 3 New Zealand Institute for Crop & Food Research Ltd., Invermay Research Centre, Private Bag, Mosgiel. Abstract Burdock (Arctium lappa L), a widespread weed in New Zealand, is a popular vegetable in Japan. The aim of the pilot study was to determine the production of burdock cultivars under New Zealand conditions. The test plots, at Hastings, Te Hauke, and Ohakune in the North Island and at Clyde and Palrnerston in the South Island, were sown in the spring 1991 and harvested in the autumn 1992. The cultivars, Takinogawa Early, Tokiwa Improved, and Watanabe Early were tested in the North Island while the cultivars Shirohada, Yamada Riso, and Yamada Wase, plus a Dutch (Kieft) seed line were compared in the South Island. The root length, fresh root weight and dry matter % were recorded for all cultivars while additional data on plant density, production per hectare and processing quality were collected at Redbank. At Redbank Research Station Clyde, Yamada Wase produced the highest root weight of 323 g and an estimated fresh root yield of 39 tlha. This cultivar graded for taste and flavour was judged the best for processing. At the North Island sites Watanabe Early produced the highest root weight of 400 g. -

Holistic Health for Transgender & Gender Variant Folks
Holistic Health for Transgender Folks Dori Midnight Holistic Health for Transgender & Gender Variant Folks Introduction This paper will cover basic herbal and nutritional support for transgender and gender variant folks specifically on the transmasculine spectrum. Historically, transpeoples’ access to health care is limited for multiple reasons and information regarding the long term side effects of hormone therapy is miniscule, so it is profound to be able to support the health and well being of transgender folks with herbs and nutrition, which tends to be more accessible and affordable. Many transpeoples’ experience with the medical community has been negative- from the complicated diagnoses of Gender Dysphoria to the extreme medicalization of gender to humiliating and horrifying exams, it is easy to see why many trans folks choose not to engage with health care system at all. As herbalists, we are in the unique position of offering holistic care and education to individuals in a manner that honors the whole person. So then, this is not exactly a traditional pathology paper, which would indicate that we are dealing with a disease that needs treatment; it is my opinion that trans people are challenging us all to re-examine our assumptions about gender and live more authentically and that the disease to be treated lies in society. This paper will look at some health needs specific to transgender folks and offer accessible, practical, and herbal recommendations for healing and support. Because this is such a huge topic, this paper will cover people on the transmasculine spectrum (taking or not taking testosterone).
