Pierre ex Pax seeds treatments influence on the q Year 2004 Source title Rivista Italiana delle Sostanze Grasse Reference 81(5): 299-303 Abstract The effects of heating Ricinodendron heudelotii seeds on the quality of the oil extracted was studied. The seeds were preheated by dry and wet methods at three temperatures (50, 70 and 90 degrees C) for 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes. The oil was extracted using the Soxhlet method with hexane. The results showed a significant change in oil acid value when heated at 90 degrees C for 60 minutes, with values of 2.76+or-0.18 for the dry method and 2.90+or-0.14 for the wet method. Heating at the same conditions yielded peroxide values of 10.70+or-0.03 for the dry method and 11.95+or-0.08 for the wet method. Author A. L. Khandare, U. Kumar P, R. G. Shanker, K. Venkaiah and N.

The fossils are charcolified isolated ovuliferous complexes that were studied by means of a combination of MEB images and Micro-CT, allowing the observation of morphological and anatomical characters. Each ovuliferous complex bears 3-4 anatropous winged seeds, disposed in one row on a thin medial part of the adaxial side of the ovuliferous complex.

  • Utilization of Lignocellulosic Waste from Bidi Industry for Removal of Dye from Aqueous Solution
    Int. J. Environ. Res., 2(4): 385-390, Autumn 2008 ISSN: 1735-6865 Utilization of Lignocellulosic Waste from Bidi Industry for Removal of Dye from Aqueous Solution Nagda, G. K.* and Ghole, V. S. Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Pune, Pune, India Received 26 Oct 2007; Revised 15 March 2008; Accepted 15 April 2008 ABSTRACT: A new, local agro-industrial waste was valorized by chemical treatment and tested for its ability to remove cationic dye from aqueous solution. Tendu (Diospyros melanoxylon) leaves refuse, a solid waste from bidi industry which caused disposal problem, was studied as a biosorbent. Raw tendu waste (TLR), along with sulfuric acid carbonized tendu waste (TLR-CM) and tendu waste treated with dilute sulfuric acid (TLR-2N) were utilized as sorbent for uptake of crystal violet from aqueous solutions. Adsorption studies were carried out at various dye concentrations and contact times. It followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics and followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Interestingly, milder acid treatment of the tendu waste enhanced biosorption, whereas drastic acid carbonization of tendu waste resulted in reduced adsorption of dye. The maximum adsorption capacities for crystal violet for TLR-2N, TLR and TLR-CM are 67.57, 42.92 and 22.47 mg/g respectively. Commercial activated carbon had maximum adsorption capacity for crystal violet of 151.52 mg/g. Thus a renewable solid waste with mild acid treatment can offer a cost effective alternative to activated carbon. Key words: Biosorption, Diospyros melanoxylon, Solid tendu waste, Dye, Crystal violet INTRODUCTION Colored wastewater is a consequence of synthetic textile dyes because of the chemical industrial processes both in the dye manufacturing stability of these pollutants (Anjaneyulu et al., industries and in the dye-consuming industries.

Many assertions in the literature about the origins of particular species are found to be without empirical basis. In the absence of other data, comparative linguistics is an important source for tracing the spread of some fruits. Contrary to the Pacific, it seems that many of the fruits we now consider characteristic of the region may well have spread in recent times. INTRODUCTION empirical base for Pacific languages is not matched for mainland phyla such as Austroasiatic, Daic, Sino- This study 1) is intended to complement a previous Tibetan or Hmong-Mien, so accounts based purely paper on the history of tree-fruits in island Southeast on Austronesian tend to give a one-sided picture.

R. B. LEAKEY{ and Z. TCHOUNDJEU{ {Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Bush Estate, Penicuik, Midlothian, EH26 0QB, Scotland, UK and {International Centre for Research in Agroforestry, PO Box 2067, YaoundeÂ, Cameroon (Accepted 19 January 2001) SUMMARY New initiatives in agroforestry are seeking to integrate indigenous trees, whose products have traditionally been gathered from natural forests, into tropical farming systems such as cacao farms. This is being done to provide from farms, marketable timber and non-timber forest products that will enhance rural livelihoods by generating cash for resource-poor rural and peri-urban households. There are many potential candidate species for domestication that have commercial potential in local, regional or even international markets. Little or no formal research has been carried out on many of these hitherto wild species to assess potential for genetic improvement, reproductive biology or suitability for cultivation. With the participation of subsistence farmers a number of projects to bring candidate species into cultivation are in progress, however. This paper describes some tree domestication activities being carried out in southern Cameroon, especially with Irvingia gabonensis (bush mango; dika nut) and Dacryodes edulis (African plum; safoutier). As part of this, fruits and kernels from 300 D. edulis and 150 I. gabonensis trees in six villages of Cameroon and Nigeria have been quantitatively characterized for 11 traits to determine combinations de®ning multi-trait ideotypes for a genetic selection programme.

The genus Bouea has three species B. Marcophylla, B. oppositifolia, and B. poilanei. Morphological variations were found in Bouea in various regions of Indonesia. This study aims to review the genetic diversity and grouping of Bouea spp in Indonesia using morphological markers. A total of 75 accessions of B. macrophylla and 30 accessions of B. oppositifolia obtained from 13 provinces in Indonesia observed with variations using 31 and 81 characters, respectively as morphological markers. Result of the observations were then cluster analyzed using the program NTSYS version 2.02 and confirmed using principal component analysis (PCA). Results revealed that morphological markers which can distinguish Bouea from other plants were opposite leaves pattern and purle seeds. Morphological markers that distinguished B. macrophylla with B. oppositifolia were leaf size, fruit size, fruit shape, fruit color, flesh color, and shape of the leaf axillary bud. Cluster analysis showed that B. macrophylla has similarity coefficient of 0.77 to 1.00 which is sub-divided in seven major groups with coefficient of 0.93.

The indigenous communities continuously include wild edibles to their daily food intake and sales from the surplus add to their income. Simultaneously, an emphasis on the sustainable harvesting of wild edible plants will help enhance and maintain the region’s biodiversity. As the local people are endowed with a vast knowledge concerning the utilization of wild plants, the paper focuses on their knowledge and illustrates the need to select local priority plant species with potential to become valuable staple foods and important alternatives to the usual cultivated agricultural crops.

Cl.8: A61K36/00, A61P1/02, A61P1/10, A61P1/12, A61P1/14, A61P11/00, A61P11/10, A61P19/00, A61P19/02, A61P29/00 Use of large number of wild species by the tribals to contribution to the populations’ nutrition throughout meet their diverse requirements is largely due to the the year6-10. Although the principal role of these plants prevalence of diversity of vegetation in the area1.
