  • Calendula (English Marigold, Pot Marigold, Calendula Officinalis L.)
    Calendula (English marigold, pot marigold, Calendula officinalis L.) Nancy W. Callan, Mal P. Westcott, Susan Wall-MacLane, and James B. Miller Western Agricultural Research Center Montana State University Calendula (Calendula officinalis L.) is an annual with bright yellow or orange daisy-like flowers. The flowers are harvested while in full bloom and dried for use as a medicinal or culinary herb. The entire flower heads or the petals alone are used. An industrial oil may be expressed from the seeds and an absolute oil is obtained from the flowers. Laying chickens may be fed orange calendula flowers to give the egg yolks a deep yellow color. Calendula is a fast-growing annual that is easy to cultivate. It may be direct-seeded in the field and begins to flower in about two months. Harvest of calendula is time-consuming because the flowers form over a long period of time and individual flowers mature quickly. Overmature flowers are undesirable in a herbal product. Frequent hand harvest is necessary to obtain the highest quality product, but some mechanization of harvest may be possible for a lower- grade product or for seed for industrial use. Western Agricultural Research Center Two cultivars of calendula, 'Resina' and 'Erfurter Orangefarbige,' were direct-seeded on May 15, 1998, and May 18, 1999, at 5 lb/a in six-row plots 8 ft long, with rows 18" apart and four replications. Final stand of Resina was 3.3 (1998) and 4.6 (1999) plants/ft and of Erfurter Orangefarbige was 5.5 and 3.9 plants/ft. Flower heads were plucked from the plants by hand and air-dried out of direct sunlight.

In this work, the Taif rose water by-product obtained after hydro-distillation of Taif rose (Rosa damascena trigintipetala Dieck) was investigated for its biological and phytochemical properties. The results showed that the Taif rose water byproduct had free radical scavenging activity toward artificial 1,1- • diphenyl picrylhydrazyl (DPPH ) radical with SC 50 = 23.72±0.36 µg/ml and also had high antioxidant capacity (329.53±18.75 mg ascorbic acid equivalent/g dry extract) and reducing power activity (211.31±2.79 mg ascorbic acid equivalent/g dry extract). Phenolic compounds are the major components and the antioxidant properties were attributed to them. The direct infusion ESI(-ve)-MS analyses of Taif rose water by-product showed the presence of phenolic compounds belonging to hydrolysable tannins and flavonoids.

  • Optimization of Microwave Assisted Process for Extraction of Celery Seed Essential Oil Gopika Talwari1 and B.S
    Gopika Talwari and B.S. Ghuman JAE : 51 (2) Journal of Agricultural Engineering Vol. 51 (2): April-June, 2014 Optimization of Microwave Assisted Process for Extraction of Celery Seed Essential Oil Gopika Talwari1 and B.S. Ghuman2 Manuscript received: March, 2013 Revised manuscript accepted: April, 2014 ABSTRACT Microwave assisted extraction (MAE) method was developed for extraction of essential oil from celery seeds. A domestic microwave oven was modified and Clevenger apparatus attached to it to make it an extraction unit. Effect of various parameters such as soaking time, temperature and power density during MAE was studied. A multivariate study based on a Box-Behnken design was used to evaluate the influence of three major variables (soaking time, temperature and power density) affecting the performance of MAE on celery seed. Oil yield, time of extraction and energy consumption (MJ.kg-1 oil) by MAE were determined and compared with those obtained by the traditional hydro-distillation (HD). It was found that microwave assisted process gave approximately same oil yield (1.90%) in less time ( 93.5 min) and with low energy consumption (58191.78 MJ.kg-1 oil). Results revealed that the selected parameters had significant effect on the responses. Key words: Celery seed, essential oil, microwave assisted extraction, hydro distillation Essential oils are the volatile oils distilled from aromatic an average contains 2.5% volatile oil containing 60-70% plant material. Essential oils are contained in the glands, d-limonene and 1-20% beta selinene and 15%–17% fixed sacs and veins concentrated in different parts of the plant. oil.

Essential Oil Composition under Different Nutritional Treatments 12Afaq Ahmad Malik, Showkat R. Mir and 1Javed Ahmad 1Department of Botany, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi 110062, India 2Department of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi 110 062, India Abstract: The use of un-exploited organic industrial by-products and municipal wastes as soil organic amendment has an economic value and environmental interest. However, little is known about their effectiveness on medicinal plants cultivation. An experiment was conducted in this regard to assess the impact of farmyard manure (FYM), composted sugarcane pressmud (CPM) and sewage sludge biosolid (SSB) on volatile oil composition of Ruta graveolens L., an important aromatic medicinal herb used frequently in Unani system of medicine in India. Volatile oil in the aerial parts of the plant was isolated by hydro-distillation and analyzed by GC-MS. Hydro-distillation of untreated (control) plants yielded 0.32% essential oil on fresh weight basis. The predominant components in the essential oil were n-Hex-4-en-3-one (55.06%), n-Pent-3-one (28.17%), n-Hex-3-en-2-one (14.07%) and n-Hex-5-en-3-one (0.67%). Essential oil obtained from plants treated with FYM amounted to 0.36% of fresh weight and consisted mainly of n-Hex-4-en-3-one (53.64%), n-Pent-3-one (37.82%) and n-Hex-3-en-2-one (7.22%).

  • Carrots, Celery, Dehydration & Osmosis
    CARROTS, CELERY, DEHYDRATION & OSMOSIS OVERVIEW Students will investigate dehydration by soaking carrots and celery in salt and fresh water and observing the effects of osmosis on living organisms. Animals and plants that live in the ocean usually have a high salt level within them in order to avoid dehydration. CONCEPTS • Water molecules move across a membrane to higher levels of salt concentration through a pro- cess called osmosis. • Animals and plants that live in the ocean usually have a high salt content. On the other hand, animals and plants that are not adapted to salt water may have a low salt content, and thus become dehydrated when placed in salt water. MATERIALS For each group: • Salt water • Fresh water • Carrots • Celery • Containers (bowls, glasses, cups) PREPARATION Salt water can be created by simply putting a large quantity of salt into some water and stirring. Warm water will cause the salt to dissolve easier. If you wish to simulate the salt content of the ocean (optional), put 35 milligrams of salt into 965 milliliters of water. This exercise can be done as a class activity/demonstration, or students can be split into small groups. Each group will need a full set of materials. There should be at least one period where the vegetables are left in water for an extended period to get the desired effect. You may therefore wish to extend this activity throughout the day, or for more dramatic and distinctive results, conduct it over two to three days. Alternatively, you can reduce the time needed for this activity if you begin with both crisp and limp vegetables.

  • Borage, Calendula, Cosmos, Johnny Jump Up, and Pansy Flowers: Volatiles, Bioactive Compounds, and Sensory Perception
    European Food Research and Technology https://doi.org/10.1007/s00217-018-3183-4 ORIGINAL PAPER Borage, calendula, cosmos, Johnny Jump up, and pansy flowers: volatiles, bioactive compounds, and sensory perception Luana Fernandes1,2,3 · Susana Casal2 · José A. Pereira1 · Ricardo Malheiro1 · Nuno Rodrigues1 · Jorge A. Saraiva3 · Elsa Ramalhosa1 Received: 27 June 2018 / Accepted: 28 October 2018 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The aim of the present work was to study the main volatile and bioactive compounds (monomeric anthocyanins, hydrolys- able tannins, total flavonoids, and total reducing capacity) of five edible flowers: borage (Borage officinalis), calendula (Calendula arvensis), cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus), Johnny Jump up (Viola tricolor), and pansies (Viola × wittrockiana), together with their sensory attributes. The sensory analysis (10 panelists) indicated different floral, fruity, and herbal odors and taste. From a total of 117 volatile compounds (SPME–GC–MS), esters were most abundant in borage, sesquiterpenes in calendula, and terpenes in cosmos, Johnny Jump up, and pansies. Some bioactive and volatile compounds influence the sensory perception. For example, the highest content of total monomeric anthocyanins (cosmos and pansies) was associ- ated with the highest scores of colors intensity, while the floral and green fragrances detected in borage may be due to the presence of ethyl octanoate and 1-hexanol. Therefore, the presence of some volatiles and bioactive compounds affects the sensory perception of the flowers. Keywords Edible flowers · Volatile compounds · Sensory analysis · Bioactive compounds Introduction and fragrances of flowers are analyzed through their vola- tile essential oils [1]. Currently, there are some studies that Edible flowers are becoming more popular in recent years have applied solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method to due to the interest of consumers and professional chefs.

  • Cool Weather Herbs
    www.natureswayresources.com COOL WEATHER HERBS by Susan Gail Wood Herb Society of America/South Texas Unit Plant now in our herb gardens: dill, cilantro, nasturtiums and fennel. I enjoy growing lots of herbs year round to use for fragrance, cooking and beautiful bouquets. My favorite herbs to plant in the fall garden are: cilantro, nasturtiums, borage, fennel and dill. * Harvest basil before it blooms for best flavor. This means taking cuttings several times during the warm growing season to keep blossoms at bay. * Fresh CILANTRO can be used in place of basil for a delightful pesto. Late October and during November are perfect times to start cilantro from seed or plants in your garden. Cilantro has leaves that resemble flat leaf parsley until the plant is ready to flower. Start harvesting beforethe second, thinner set of leaves appear. This is a sign the herb is about to bloom, set seed and die back as is typical of annuals. Cilantro will bolt once the weather warms up next spring. Leave ripe 1 www.natureswayresources.com seed on the plant to fall back in the garden and this herb will be your best volunteer next fall. All the above mentioned favorites will withstand a freeze except for nasturtiums. Water and mulch all your herbs before a hard freeze and cover the nasturtiums. If they don't survive you can always plant more when the danger of frost passes next March. I lovethe cheery flowers they produce which are edible as well as the peppery leaves. * BORAGE is my favorite herb that you might not be growing, but should.

  • Brassica Rapa)Ssp
    Li et al. Horticulture Research (2020) 7:212 Horticulture Research https://doi.org/10.1038/s41438-020-00449-z www.nature.com/hortres ARTICLE Open Access A chromosome-level reference genome of non- heading Chinese cabbage [Brassica campestris (syn. Brassica rapa)ssp. chinensis] Ying Li 1,Gao-FengLiu1,Li-MingMa2,Tong-KunLiu 1, Chang-Wei Zhang 1, Dong Xiao1, Hong-Kun Zheng2, Fei Chen1 and Xi-Lin Hou 1 Abstract Non-heading Chinese cabbage (NHCC) is an important leafy vegetable cultivated worldwide. Here, we report the first high-quality, chromosome-level genome of NHCC001 based on PacBio, Hi-C, and Illumina sequencing data. The assembled NHCC001 genome is 405.33 Mb in size with a contig N50 of 2.83 Mb and a scaffold N50 of 38.13 Mb. Approximately 53% of the assembled genome is composed of repetitive sequences, among which long terminal repeats (LTRs, 20.42% of the genome) are the most abundant. Using Hi-C data, 97.9% (396.83 Mb) of the sequences were assigned to 10 pseudochromosomes. Genome assessment showed that this B. rapa NHCC001 genome assembly is of better quality than other currently available B. rapa assemblies and that it contains 48,158 protein-coding genes, 99.56% of which are annotated in at least one functional database. Comparative genomic analysis confirmed that B. rapa NHCC001 underwent a whole-genome triplication (WGT) event shared with other Brassica species that occurred after the WGD events shared with Arabidopsis. Genes related to ascorbic acid metabolism showed little variation among the three B. rapa subspecies. The numbers of genes involved in glucosinolate biosynthesis and catabolism 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; were higher in NHCC001 than in Chiifu and Z1, due primarily to tandem duplication.
