(Aarti Singh) Abstract The thesis comprises of seven chapters. First chapter deals with the general introduction of the subject matter of the thesis which describes about essential oils, sources of essential oil, chemical constituents of essential oils, Methods of extracting essential Oils (Conventional methods and non-conventional methods), uses of essential oils and aims and objectives of the work. Essential oils have a complex composition, containing from a few dozen to several hundred constituents, especially hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds. The main group is composed of terpenes and terpenoids and the other aromatic and aliphatic constituents, all characterized by low molecular weight. Trace components are important, since they give the oil a characteristic and natural odour. They can be obtained from different parts of plants including flowers, buds, seeds, leaves, twigs, bark, herbs, fruits and roots. Oils are used in the embalming process, in medicine and in purification rituals. There are also over 200 references to aromatics, incense and ointments in the Old and New Testaments. Research has confirmed centuries of practical use of Essential Oils, and we now know that the 'fragrant pharmacy' contains compounds with an extremely broad range of biochemical effects. There are about three hundred essential oils in general use today by professional practitioners. Continual bombardment of viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal contamination occurs in our body. Essential oils are of great benefit to help protect our bodies and homes from this onslaught of pathogens. Immune system needs support and these essential oils can give the required endorsement. The ability of plants to accumulate essential oils is quite high in both Gymnosperms and Angiosperms, although the most commercially important essential oil plant sources are related to the Angiosperms. Most of the aromatic plants and essential oil commodities in terms of world trade belong to the families of Lamiaceae, Umbelliferae and Compositae. An Essential Oil contains more than 200 chemical components, but some are many times more complex. Essential oils consist of chemical compounds which have hydrogen, carbon and oxygen as their building blocks. They can be essentially classified into two groups: 1 Volatile fraction: Essential oil constituting of 90-95% of the oil in weight, containing the monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, as well as their oxygenated derivatives along with aliphatic aldehydes, alcohols and esters. Non-volatile residue: This comprises 1-10% of the oil, containing hydrocarbons, fatty acids, sterols, carotenoids, waxes and flavonoids. The constituents can be again subdivided into 2 groups, such as the hydrocarbons which are made up of mostly terpenes and the oxygenated compounds which are mainly alcohols, aldehydes, esters, ketones, phenols and oxides. Some of the common components are listed below along with their properties. Methods of extracting essential oils are classified as: Conventional methods Maceration Cold Pressing Enfleurage Steam distillation and solvent extraction Non-conventional methods Microwave assisted extraction Ultrasonic assisted extraction Supercritical fluid extraction A supercritical fluid (SCF) is any compound at a temperature and pressure above the critical point. Above the critical temperature (Tc) of a compound, the pure, gaseous component cannot be liquefied regardless of the pressure applied. The critical pressure (Pc) is the vapor pressure of the gas at critical temperature. In the supercritical environment only one phase exists. The fluid, as it is termed, is neither a gas nor a liquid. This phase retains solvent power approximating liquids as well as the transport properties common to gases. Applications of essential oils Food industry Pharmaceutical industry Cosmetic industry Veterinary product industry 2 Industrial deodorants Tobacco industry Biocides and insecticides Antioxidants Chapter two describes the critical review of the existing literature on the extraction of essential oils from various parts of the plants using conventional and non-convention extraction techniques. Chapter three describes materials and methods which includes collection of plant material, identification and authentication of plant material, methods for extraction of essential oil (Hydro-distillation, Solvent Extraction, Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction and Supercritical Carbon-dioxide (SC-CO2)). It also includes optimization of SC-CO2 extraction parameters via Full Factorial Design (FFD), physiochemical characterization of essential oil, analytical Studies (SEM, HPTLC, GC-MS and FTIR) and antioxidant activity of essential oils. Use of natural antioxidants, as food additives for inactivating free radicals receiving a lot of attention nowadays, not only for their scavenging properties, but also because they are natural, non-synthetic products, and their appreciation by consumers is very favourable. Chapter four describes optimization of total essential oil yield of Cinnamomum zeylanicum N. by using SC-CO2 extraction. Essential oil was extracted via Hydro-distillation (HD), Solvent extraction (SE), Ultrasonic assisted extraction (UAE) and Supercritical Carbon-dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction. Among all these methods SC-CO2 gave the highest percentage yield (3.8 %) at optimum conditions of o pressure (200 bar), temperature (40 C) and flow rate of CO2 (4 g/min) by FFD. The analysis shows that pressure and flow rate have shown to

    Forestry Department Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FRA 2000 FOREST RESOURCES OF NEPAL COUNTRY REPORT Rome, 1999 Forest Resources Assessment Programme Working Paper 16 Rome 1999 The Forest Resources Assessment Programme Forests are crucial for the well-being of humanity. They provide foundations for life on earth through ecological functions, by regulating the climate and water resources, and by serving as habitats for plants and animals. Forests also furnish a wide range of essential goods such as wood, food, fodder and medicines, in addition to opportunities for recreation, spiritual renewal and other services. Today, forests are under pressure from expanding human populations, which frequently leads to the conversion or degradation of forests into unsustainable forms of land use. When forests are lost or severely degraded, their capacity to function as regulators of the environment is also lost, increasing flood and erosion hazards, reducing soil fertility, and contributing to the loss of plant and animal life. As a result, the sustainable provision of goods and services from forests is jeopardized. FAO, at the request of the member nations and the world community, regularly monitors the world’s forests through the Forest Resources Assessment Programme. The next report, the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2000 (FRA 2000), will review the forest situation by the end of the millennium. FRA 2000 will include country-level information based on existing forest inventory data, regional investigations of land- cover change processes, and a number of global studies focusing on the interaction between people and forests. The FRA 2000 report will be made public and distributed on the world wide web in the year 2000.

Artikel/Article: Primitive Blütenstände bei primitiven Angiospermen? 29-51 © Biologiezentrum Linz, Austria, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Primitive Blütenstände bei primitiven Angiospermen? FOCKO WEBERLING, Ulm Die Frage, in welcher Weise sich die Blütenstände der Angiospermen entwickelt haben könnten, und welche Formen allenfalls als Ausgangsformen gelten dürften, ist oft gestellt worden. Zwar gibt es einige schlüssig erscheinende Antworten, doch konnte bisher keine von ihnen hinreichend empirisch begründet werden. Es liegt nahe, die zur Begründung ge­ eigneten Befunde bei den sogenannten "primitiven" Angiospermen zu suchen, also - nach unserer heutigen Sicht - im Verwandtschaftsbereich der Magnoliales und der Dilleniales im weiteren Sinne. Da ich mich seit nunmehr 40 Jahren unter anderem auch mit den Blütenstandsformen in den verschiedensten Bereichen des Angiospermensystems befasse, ist die Frage, welches denn nun die "primitiven Blütenstände" seien, natürlich auch des öfteren an mich gerichtet worden, ohne daß ich mehr als einige Hinweise auf die schon von anderen formulierten brauchbaren Hypothesen geben konnte. Da ich nun aber im Laufe der Infloreszenzuntersu­ chungen der Angiospermenfamilien ohnedies auch die Infloreszenzen der Magnoliales und Dilleniales zu bearbeiten hatte, bot sich die Gelegenheit, einige der Sachverhalte zu prüfen, die in den verschiedenen Hypothesen eine Rolle spielen (vgl. WEBERLING 1988). Inzwischen konnten wir die früher gewonnenen Ergebnisse bestätigen und erwei­ tern. Im wesentlichen sind es zwei Hypothesen, die eine Prüfung lohnend erscheinen lassen; die von PARKIN (1914) und PILGER (1921): Nach der Auffassung von PARKIN, die in mancher Hinsicht an ST.
