  • Potential Control of Postharvest Gray Mold of Pomegranate Fruits Caused by Botrytis Cinerea
    11 Env. Biodiv. Soil Security Vol.1, pp. 145- 156 (2017) Potential Control of Postharvest Gray Mold of Pomegranate Fruits Caused by Botrytis Cinerea Samar A. Allam1, Gabr A. Elkot2, Abdelnaser A. Elzaawely1* and Hassan M. El-Zahaby1 1*Department of Agricultural Botany, Faculty of Agriculture, Tanta University, Tanta, and 2Department of Agricultural Botany, Faculty of Agriculture, Kafr Elsheikh University, Kafr El Sheikh, Egypt . RAY mold rot, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is one of the most economically significant Gpostharvest diseases in pomegranate fruits. The aim of the current study is to evaluate Mangifera indica, Thymus vulgaris, Origanum majorana, Salix mucronata, Cinnamomum cassia and Zingiber officinale extracts and biocontrol agents for controlling gray mold disease on pomegranate. In vitro results showed that T. vulgaris (T.v), C. cassia (C.c) and Z. officinale (Z.o) extracts possessed highly significant antifungal activities as they completely inhibited the radial growth of B. cinerea at the concentrations of 30000, 20000 and 30000 ppm, respectively. The combination of the aforementioned plant extracts and fungicide Flusilazole (Flu) overcomes the potency of Flu or the plant extracts alone specially C.c+Flu at the rate of (2:1; v/v) since it inhibited the radial growth of B. cinerea with 89.6% inhibition compared to the control. The study also proved that using the aforementioned plant extracts alone or in combination with Flu as well as the bacterial antagonists (Bacillus subtilis or Pseudomonas fluorescens) significantly reduced the loss in fruit weight. Furthermore, they also prolonged the storage period of pomegranate fruits and maintained high-quality parameters including soluble solids content and titratable acidity after cold storage at 5±1°C and 90% RH.

  • (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Blume.) & Naluka/Cassia
    International Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biosciences Volume 2, Issue 2, February 2015, PP 1-4 ISSN 2394-5885 (Print) & ISSN 2394-5893 (Online) Identification of Adulterants by Pharmacognostical Evaluation: Tvak (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Blume.) & Naluka/Cassia [Cinnamomum Cassia (Nees & T.Nees.) J.Presl] Nanda Amalesh1, Paul Nirankush1, Gupta Amartya Kumar1, Ganguly Partha*1, Banerjee Dipankar1, Singh Rahul1, Katiyar Chandrakant1 1R&D Healthcare Division, Emami Ltd., 13 B.T. Road, Belghoria, Kolkata-700 056, India ABSTRACT Traditional medical systems remain important resources of healthcare worldwide that are reported to be safe and produce minimum side effects compared to synthetic medicines. At present deforestation and extinction of many species and incorrect identification of many plants has resulted in adulteration of raw drugs which results in lesser efficacy of the finished formulations? This article throws light on the concepts of adulteration of Naluka/Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) with Tvak (Cinnamomum zeylanicum). Morphologically near about same, and Tvak is typically more expensive than the Naluka, so it is easy to adulterate Tvak with inferior variety of Naluka to reduce the cost. But there is no instantaneous ready method available to distinguish between Tvak and Naluka. A rough distinction can be made between Tvak and Naluka depending upon the Coumarin content [1] which requires sophisticated analytical technique which involves both time and cost. In the present study, an easy attempt has been made to distinguish between Tvak and Naluka using simple pharmacognostical evaluation.These simple microscopic and macroscopic characters can be used as an effective tool for the identification of true Tvak sample which will help to maintain the quality of herbal drugs by avoiding adulteration of Naluka.

Traditional screening that involves isolation and identification/quantitation is tedious, time consuming, and generates a significant amount of chemical waste. Here, we present a simple, fast, and green strategy to assess 0.1% wt/wt quantities of useful compounds in plants/spices using pressurized hot ≥ water extraction using a household espresso machine followed by chemical analysis using capillary electrophoresis. Three demonstrations with polygodial, cinnamaldehyde, coumarin, and shikimic acid as target metabolites are shown. Direct analysis of extracts was by the developed micellar electrokinetic chromatography and capillary zone electrophoresis methods. The approach, which can be implemented in less developed countries, can process many samples within a day, much faster than traditional techniques that would normally take at least a day. Finally, 0.8–1.1% wt/wt levels of shikimic acid were found in Tasmanian-pepperberry and Tasmanian-fuschia leaves via the approach.

  • Looking at Herbs and Spices
    OEB 59 – Plants and Human Affairs Lab 5: Spices and Essential Oils Objectives of this lab: 1) Connect commonly used herbs and spices to the plants and plant parts from which they are derived 2) Compare Old World versus New World herbs and spices 3) Learn about fun facts about allspice, peppercorns, cinnamon, mace, and nutmeg 4) Compare the aromas and therapeutic uses of essential oils from different species Part I: Looking at herbs and spices Herbs are usually aromatic leaves from temperate plants, while spices are aromatic fruits, flowers, bark, or other plant parts of tropical origin. Both are associated with mainly cooking, but also in medicine, as natural dyes, and in the perfume and cosmetic industries. Old World versus New World Herbs and spices from the Old World include: cloves, nutmeg, mace, peppercorns (green, black and white), mustards, cardamon, cinnamon, star anise, turmeric, dill, chervil, celery seed, caraway, cumin, anise, peppermint, spearmint, marjoram, oregano, and thyme. Herbs and spices from the New World include: vanilla, allspice, pink pepper, and chili pepper. TO DO: What part of the plant do particular herbs and spices come from? Take a look at the herbs and spices on display, and answer the following four questions: (1) Name four herbs or spices derived from flowers, seeds, or fruits (2) Name two herbs or spices derived from leaves (3) Name one herb or spice derived from bark (4) Name one herb or spice derived from roots (5) What part of which plant species is used to obtain ginger? History of spices "No evidence is available of how primitive humans actually discovered herbs and spices, but we can assume that they were attracted to some of the pleasant aromas of these plants and found different uses for them.

Essential oils from Cinnamomum cassia L. from Lauraceae family and Rosa damascena L. from Rosaceae family were used for cyclodextrin complexation by using the crystallization from ethanol- water solution. The complexes were crystallized by a program temperature and the complexes were filtered, washed with ethanol and dried at room temperature. The yields of complex recovering were 67% and 72%, respectively. Cyclodextrin complexes were characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in order to identify and quantify the main volatile compounds from raw essential oil and from the essential oil recovered from the complex. The main compound from Cinnamomum essential oil was cinnamaldehyde, which was in a relative concentration of 62.3% in the raw oil and the ratio between the relative concentrations in recovered and raw essential oils was 1.1. The most important compound for the rose flavor was β-phenylethanol, which was identified in a concentration of 27.8% in the raw essential oil; the corresponding concentration ratio was 0.6. The formation of complexes was also demonstrated by thermogravimetric analysis; the mass loss in the Cinnamomum cassia and Rosa damascena essential oils/β-cyclodextrin complexes was 9.7% and 7.7%, respectively, while the commercial β-cyclodextrin reveals a mass loss of 14.1%.

  • Quality Attributes of Ginger and Cinnamon Essential Oils from Madagascar Adolfina Koroch*, Lalasoa Ranarivelo, Olivier Behra, H
    Reprinted from: Issues in new crops and new uses. 2007. J. Janick and A. Whipkey (eds.). ASHS Press, Alexandria, VA. Quality Attributes of Ginger and Cinnamon Essential Oils from Madagascar Adolfina Koroch*, Lalasoa Ranarivelo, Olivier Behra, H. Rodolfo Juliani, and James E. Simon Over 28,200 tonnes (t) of essential oils are produced worldwide every year at an estimated value of $18 billion, of which China contributes about 16,600 t. African countries collectively contribute less than 1% of global production. One of the major factors limiting increased trade and market penetration of African essen- tial oils has been the lack of quality standards, inability to consistently produce the critical mass of essential oil quantities, high shipping costs, lack of familiarity with market requirements, and the challenge of meeting product specifications of the international marketplace. The natural products sector of Madagascar is dependent on international trade for its commercial success. Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Zingiberaceae) and cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Garc. ex Blume, Lauraceae) are among the most important essential oils from Madagascar and are used by the food and fragrance industries. This study sought to evaluate the quality of these Malagasy essential oils and compare them with commercial available products and standards from the US (Food Chemical Codex 1996) and inter- national organizations (ISO), to determine their market competitiveness. MATERIALS AND METHODS Essential oils extracted from fresh ginger rhizomes (Z. officinale) and cinnamon barks (C. zelyanicum) from Madagascar were analyzed. Organoleptic (color, aroma), physicochemical (refractive index, density, optical rotation, ethanol solubility) and chemical composition (Juliani et al. 2004) profiles were evaluated.
