Changes in commodity prices or new value chain opportunities, let alone changes in types of food or new products, demand a flexible approach to farming. Many crops themselves have a “fashion” element where a new variety of fruit or vegetable can be “in” for a period then “out” with the market. Consumers expect farmers to be able to continue to meet their needs in both food and fibre when they follow these new trends. As well, diversification of cropping opportunities, within the limits of good business sense, provides an essential part of risk management in modern farming. The Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation is tasked, within a number of its programs, with assisting agribusiness and the food industries to stay ahead of changes by looking at new crops and their management and potential in the food and fibre industries. Some of these crops are aimed at Australian markets, others are aimed at a mix of domestic and export. Undertaking the research and supporting industries searching for new products is only the first stage of this work. Unless the work is communicated to the widest possible audience the potential of these new crops will never be fully realised. This book contains the Native Food Chapters of RIRDC’s The New Crop Industries Handbook and is aimed at consolidating much of the recent research information into a handy format for those searching for the latest information on Australia’s native crops. I am sure it will prove to be as valuable to both potential and existing farmers as the first edition.

INTRODUCTION Applicant moves for judgment on the pleadings (“Motion”), arguing that “there is no genuine issue as to Opposer’s lack of prior rights in a trademark that could be confusingly similar to Applicant’s Mark.” (Motion pg. 3.)1 Applicant’s Motion is not well taken. It acknowledges that Opposer has alleged exactly what it takes issue with – that Opposer has prior rights in a trademark that could be confusingly similar to Applicant’s Mark. Despite this, Applicant seeks to take issue with those allegations, implicitly contending that Opposer will be unable to prove what it has alleged. (Motion pg. 2.) This is not a proper basis for judgment on the pleadings, which must accept as true all allegations asserted in the Opposition.

Some of these products have attracted much interest due to their alleged properties of preventing malnutrition, over-nutrition, and disease, maintaining a healthy body. Received 23 February 2020 Accepted 31 March 2020 Scientific studies on these fruits are multiplying, including chemical characterizations and biological investigations onin vitro and in vivo experimental models. This review concerns four edible fruits:Hylocereus undatus (dragon fruit), Annona cherimola Keywords (cherimoya), Citrus australasica (finger lime), andAverrhoa carambola (carambola or star fruit). By screening biomedical Superfruits databases, viz. Scopus, WOS, and PubMed, a total of 131 papers have been selected. Data reveals a wide series of biological functional food effects that confirm traditional medicinal uses or suggest new therapeutic applications.

  • The Mcguire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity
    Supplemental Information All specimens used within this study are housed in: the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity (MGCL) at the Florida Museum of Natural History, Gainesville, USA (FLMNH); the University of Maryland, College Park, USA (UMD); the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris, France (MNHN); and the Australian National Insect Collection in Canberra, Australia (ANIC). Methods DNA extraction protocol of dried museum specimens (detailed instructions) Prior to tissue sampling, dried (pinned or papered) specimens were assigned MGCL barcodes, photographed, and their labels digitized. Abdomens were then removed using sterile forceps, cleaned with 100% ethanol between each sample, and the remaining specimens were returned to their respective trays within the MGCL collections. Abdomens were placed in 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes with the apex of the abdomen in the conical end of the tube. For larger abdomens, 5 mL microcentrifuge tubes or larger were utilized. A solution of proteinase K (Qiagen Cat #19133) and genomic lysis buffer (OmniPrep Genomic DNA Extraction Kit) in a 1:50 ratio was added to each abdomen containing tube, sufficient to cover the abdomen (typically either 300 µL or 500 µL) - similar to the concept used in Hundsdoerfer & Kitching (1). Ratios of 1:10 and 1:25 were utilized for low quality or rare specimens. Low quality specimens were defined as having little visible tissue inside of the abdomen, mold/fungi growth, or smell of bacterial decay. Samples were incubated overnight (12-18 hours) in a dry air oven at 56°C. Importantly, we also adjusted the ratio depending on the tissue type, i.e., increasing the ratio for particularly large or egg-containing abdomens.

  • Citrus Aurantifolia) Peel Extract
    Proceedings of the 5th NA International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Detroit, Michigan, USA, August 10 - 14, 2020 Identification of Saponins and Flavonoids in Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) Peel Extract Dheasy Herawati, Evy Ratnasari Ekawati, and Siti Nur Husnul yusmiati Faculty of Health Science University of Maarif Hasyim Latif Sidoarjo [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel has an important role in human health. Components contained in lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel can be utilized in medical field. Lime peel is the site of accumulation of flavonoid and saponin compounds. Both compounds are useful for human health. The purpose of this study was to identify saponin and flavonoid compounds in lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel. This study was a descriptive study. Foam test on lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel extract revealed saponin compound, while extract test of lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel using UV-Vis spectrophotometer revealed the presence of flavonoid compound with a level of 1.12%. Keywords : Saponin, Flavonoid, Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel extract. 1. Introduction Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) is one type of citrus (Citrus) which contains chemical compounds that are beneficial for health, including citric acid, amino acids (tryptophan, lysine) essential oils (citral, limonene, phellandrene, lemon campher, cadinene, glycosides, calcium, phosphorus, fats, iron, sulphur, vitamin B1 and C. Lime also contains saponin and flavonoid compounds, namely hesperetin (hesperetin 7-rutinoside), tangeretin, naringin, eriocitrin and eriocitrocid (Adindaputri et al., 2013). Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel has an important role to human health. Components contained in lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel can be used to lower cholesterol levels in blood.

  • Rapid Assessment of the Authenticity of Limequat Fruit Using the Electronic Nose and Gas Chromatography Coupled with Mass Spectrometry

There are many species and varieties of them. There are also documented cases of some citrus fruits causing a severe allergic reaction. Some species of the citrus fruits, especially hybrid ones show a reduced allergenic effect due to the lack of seeds. There is a need for rapid methods for evaluation of citrus’ botanical origin. During research, the headspace of three citrus fruits Citrus Aurantifolia, Citrus japonica, and Citrus 9 floridana was analysed using electronic nose based on ultrafast gas chromatography and gas chromatography with mass spec- trometry. In the paper, two approaches were compared. The usefulness of an electronic nose to control the quality of hybrids was demonstrated. The results obtained during ultrafast gas chromatography analyses were subjected to statistical analysis. Four chemometric methods namely: principal component analysis (PCA), discriminant function analysis (DFA), soft independent modeling of class analogies (SIMCA), statistical quality control (SQC) were used to distinguish between limequat and its parent fruits. Electronic nose combined with chemometrics is a novel analytical tool for hybrid fruits’ classification due to their botanical origin. It can supplement established techniques by providing results in a short time and at a low cost.
