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.

  • 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.

What are the major issues, what works, what clearly doesn’t work, and what are the best alternatives? There is a lot to absorb – and hopefully apply – here.

  • Cyanogenesis and Β- Glucosidase Activity In
    Indian Journal of Plant Sciences ISSN: 2319–3824(Online) An Open Access, Online International Journal Available at http://www.cibtech.org/jps.htm 2014 Vol.3 (1) January-March, pp.118-125/Singh Research Article CYANOGENESIS AND - GLUCOSIDASE ACTIVITY IN MADHUCA LONGIFOLIA, EMBLICA OFFICINALIS AND DIOSPYROS MELANOXYLON *P. K. Singh Udai Pratap Autonomous College, Varanasi - 221002, India *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT Dependence on natural plant species for dietary supplement has greatly increased in tropical regions. To describe the safety of plant products, present study was conducted to analyze the level of cyanogenesis (HCN production) and its regulation in Madhuca longifolia, Emblica officinalis and Diospyros melanoxylan commonly utilized as both food and folk medicines. Cyanogenic activity was significantly high in young stages of plants and plant parts whereas, at maturity cyanogenic activity recedes considerably. D. melanoxylan contained highest amount of cyanogenic compounds (62.35 mg HCN Kg-1 f.w.) among the highest ever reported for mature leaves. Significant variation in cyanogens content was also observed in different parts of the same plant. β-glucosidase that releases corresponding cyanohydrins exhibit its higher activity in young developing fruits in comparison to matured fruits and highest activity was observed in young fruits of E. officinalis (78.46mg-p-nitrophenol hr-1g-1 f.w.). Production of cyanogenic compounds depends on cellular pool of free amino acids and was positively correlated with the production of toxic amount of hydrocyanic acid (HCN) in the above plant species. Present reports show the higher amount of cyanogens (HCN) in M. longifolia, E. officinalis and D. melanoxylan at younger stages of plant and plant parts.

The bark is pelican in colour, exfoliating in rectangular scales. The primary root is long, thick and fleshy at first, afterwards woody, greyish, often swollen in upper part near ground level. The roots form vertical loops in sucker-generated plants. Leaves opposite or alternate and coriaceus, up to 35 cm long, tomentose on both sides when young, becoming glabrous above when fully grown. Male flowers are mauve in colour, tetramerous to sextamerous, 1-1.5 cm long, sessile or nearly sessile in short peduncles, mostly 3-flowered. Female flowers mauve, mostly extra-axillary or sometimes solitary, axillary generally 2, opposite each other, larger than the male flowers. Fruits olive green, ovoid or globose 3-4 cm across; 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, or 8-seeded berries. Pulp yellow, soft and sweet. Seeds compressed, oblong, shiny, often banded. The generic name is derived from the Greek ‘dios’ (divine), and ‘pyros’ (fruit), referring to the excellent fruit of the genus. The specific name is Greek and means ‘dark wood’.

  • Field Guide to Trees
    Field Guide to Trees Compiled by: Aparna G. Agnihotri, Roopali Raghavan and Dr. Sudha Premnath. Kaigal Environment Education Programme (KEEP), Krishnamurthy Foundation India (KFI), Baireddipalli Post, Totakanama, Kaigal 517415. Introduction This is a compilation of information collected about plant species that occur in the reserve forests lying on the fringes of the Kaundinya Wildlife Sanctuary in the Palamner range of the Eastern Ghats. This data has been acquired from different sources and serves to act as a vegetation guide to trees, shrubs and herbs for those involved in ecological field studies. In this guide we have provided the scientific names of species as the primary reference, synonyms have also been provided as far as possible. The information of each of these species provides details of the family, habit, habitat and some salient features. Local names (predominantly Telugu) have also been included. On the left hand corner of the title for each species is provided an index number. This is constituted of the first four alphabets of the family name followed by exclusive numbers for different species and a code for the habit of the plant (T for tree, S for shrubs and H for herbs), e.g.: Anac 1 T, is a plant belonging to family Anacardiaceae, numbered 1, which is a tree. This index number is consistent across the field guides, the herbarium and the seed collection in the germplasm bank in Kaigal hence can be used to refer to any of these with ease. Photo Credits: The photographs featured in the Field Guide have been taken by Aparna G.Agnihotri, Roopali Raghavan, Soumya Prasad, Sreshta Premnath, Santosh Kumar and Sudha Premnath.
