  • Madhuca Longifolia (J.Koenig Ex L.) J
    REVIEW ARTICLE A Review on Pharmacological Approach of the Therapeutic Property of Madhuca longifolia (J.Koenig ex L.) J. f. Macbr. Flower Bibha Mishra A*, Usha T Post graduate and Research Department of Foods and Nutrition, Ethiraj College for Women, Chennai-600 008, India. *Correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT Liver plays an important role in maintaining the metabolic function and excretion of toxins from the body. An injury or liver dysfunction caused by consumption of toxic chemicals, excessive alcohol and microbes result in a challenging condition called hepatotoxicity. Madhuca longifolia belonging to Sapotaceae family is found to possess pharmacological properties in the treatment of various diseases. The present review aims at compiling the hepatoprotective effect of Mahua flower based on various experimental studies. Methanolic extract of Mahua flower exhibited hepatoprotective property when administered at different dosages in rat was found to lower the levels of SGPT, SGOT, ALP and total bilirubin simultaneously increasing serum total proteins and albumin. The ethanolic extract also showed hepatoprotective activity against paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats when administered in dosage of 500 and 750 mg/kg body weight by stimulating the healing and regeneration of hepatocytes. Hepatoprotective activity might be due to the effect of extractsagainst the cellular leakage and loss of function of the cell membrane in hepatocytes. The protective effect might be due to the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids and phenolics. Future prospects include purification and characterization of phyto-compounds present in the Madhucalongifolia flower. Further studies on mechanism of action will lead to discovery of novel therapeutic agents for the treatment hepatic diseases.

  • A Study on Promotion/Branding of Mahua (Madhuka Longifolia) in Chhattisgarh State
    KITE/NCISRDC/IJARIIT/2018/KSBM/103 IJARIIT (ISSN: 2454-132X) A STUDY ON PROMOTION/BRANDING OF MAHUA (MADHUKA LONGIFOLIA) IN CHHATTISGARH STATE Abhinav Shrivastava1 1Asst.Professor, Kruti School of Business Management, Raipur (C.G) ABSTRACT Mahua is a tree which is found in dense forests of bastar region and is of great importance to tribal people because of its various useful outcomes. The tree is also of great commercial importance. The flower of the mahua tree is used by the people to make liquor. The liquor produced is famous for consumption among local people. It has been observed that various regions of the country has its own variety of liquor. for eg- goa is famous for its variety ‘feni’. Similarly in order to market the rural product of Chhattisgarh i.e ‘Mahua’ the government needs to promote the product by creating a Brand. This will help in its commercialization and also will create employment for rural people. Although the government of India and various states have put a ban on liquor looking it as a social evil,which is deteriorating the culture of society. But as far as the economic view is concerned the liquor market contributes to a large share of the revenue though selling mahua is ban but it is sold through unorganized channel, So for development of rural economy the government should take some measures to promote this heritage liquor of the state. Keywords- Mahua Plant, Promotion, Branding, Forest Product, Mahua flower uses 1.Introduction Whenever people talk about development of India we refer rural areas, we think about empowerment of rural population by providing livelihood to the people.

  • Non-Expressway Master Plant List
    MASTER PLANT LIST GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO PLANT LISTS Plants are living organisms. They possess variety in form, foliage and flower color, visual texture and ultimate size. There is variation in plants of the same species. Plants change: with seasons, with time and with the environment. Yet here is an attempt to categorize and catalogue a group of plants well suited for highway and expressway planting in Santa Clara County. This is possible because in all the existing variety of plants, there still remains a visual, morphological and taxonomical distinction among them. The following lists and identification cards emphasize these distinctions. 1 of 6 MASTER PLANT LIST TREES Acacia decurrens: Green wattle Acacia longifolia: Sydney golden wattle Acacia melanoxylon: Blackwood acacia Acer macrophyllum: Bigleaf maple Aesculus californica: California buckeye Aesculus carnea: Red horsechestnut Ailanthus altissima: Tree-of-heaven Albizia julibrissin: Silk tree Alnus cordata: Italian alder Alnus rhombifolia: White alder Arbutus menziesii: Madrone Calocedrus decurrens: Incense cedar Casuarina equisetifolia: Horsetail tree Casuarina stricta: Coast beefwood Catalpa speciosa: Western catalpa Cedrus deodara: Deodar cedar Ceratonia siliqua: Carob Cinnamomum camphora: Camphor Cordyline australis: Australian dracena Crataegus phaenopyrum: Washington thorn Cryptomeria japonica: Japanese redwood Cupressus glabra: Arizona cypress Cupressus macrocarpa: Monterey cypress Eriobotrya japonica: Loquat Eucalyptus camaldulensis: Red gum Eucalyptus citriodora: Lemon-scented

The cultivation of climate resilient, adaptive and underutilized wild crops along with modern crop varieties is proposed as an innovative strategy for managing future agricultural production under the changing environmental conditions. Such underutilized and neglected wild crops have been recently projected by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations as ‘future smart crops’ as they are not only hardy, and resilient to changing climatic conditions, but also rich in nutrients. They need only minimal care and input, and therefore, they can be easily grown in degraded and nutrient-poor soil also. Moreover, they can be used for improving the adaptive traits of modern crops. The contribution of such neglected, and underutilized crops and their wild relatives to global food production is estimated to be around 115–120 billion US$ per annum. Therefore, the exploitation of such lesser

Herbal medicines have been the basis of treatment and cure for various diseases and physiological conditions in traditional methods practiced in India such as Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha. Medicinal plants have been reported to have antimicrobial properties against many microbial organisms. Fungi are secondary invaders of an already weakened human body. Mycoses are still a critical cause of mortality second only next to bacterial diseases. Though significant advances have been made in antibacterial chemotherapy, there is a lack of serious strides in the area of antifungal drug discovery. In the present study, an attempt has been made to study and compare the antifungal efficacy of five leaf crude extracts of Indian sacred trees viz., Aegle marmelous Linn. Correa., Feronia elephantum Linn., Ficus benghalensis Linn., Ficus religiosa Linn., and Mimusops elengi Linn. The extracts which showed the highest activity were analysed and the minimum inhibitory concentration was determined.

  • Study on the Carbon Sequestration Potential of Trees in Konnagar Municipality, W.B., India
    STUDY ON THE CARBON SEQUESTRATION POTENTIAL OF TREES IN KONNAGAR MUNICIPALITY, W.B., INDIA A COLLABORATIVE VENTURE BEWEEN KONNAGAR MUNICIPALITY AND CLEAN BLUE PLANET CONSULTANCY SERVICES CONTENTS A. BACKGROUND B. TECHNICAL I. Introduction II. Project objectives III. Description of the study sites IV. Methodology V. Results & Discussion VI. Summary VII. Recommendation VIII. References Report Prepared by Dr. Abhijit Mitra and Dr. Sufia Zaman on behalf of Clean Blue Planet - 2 - Consultancy Services, Kolkata in collaboration with Konnagar Municipality Go for a carbon free green zone A. BACKGROUND The phenomenon of global warming has become a vital issue in the present ‘era’, which is keenly related to emission of carbon dioxide from varied sectors of human civilization ranging from household activities to industries. Even the shifting of the land use pattern generates considerable amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trees play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Considering the extent and expansion rate of urban development coupled with industrialization, the safe guarding of the environment is a key issue. This can be achieved cost-effectively by carbon sequestering through plantation and ecorestoration of the dumping areas of cities and towns. A plantation or a forest may be a “source” or a “sink” of carbon depending on the volume and relative density of the tree species, microbial load of the soil and climatic condition of the area. So a project was framed to know the stored carbon in different tree species inhabiting Konnagar Municipality area.
