Therefore a comprehensive review of the literature was conducted to summarize the pharmacological and clinical effects of Rosa canina L. to reevaluate its usefulness in traditional medicine. For various preparations of rose hip and rose hip and seed, antioxidative and antiinflammatory effects have been demonstrated. Lipophilic constituents are involved in those mechanisms of action. The proprietary rose hip and seed powder LitozinR has been employed successfully in a number of exploratory studies in patients suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and low back pain. However, the sizes of the clinical effects for the different indications need to be determined to assure clinical significance. There is also a rationale behind the use of LitozinR as part of a hypocaloric diet based on the rose hip probiotic, stool regulating and smooth muscle-relaxing actions, as well as the rose hip seed lipid-lowering, antiobese and antiulcerogenic effects. -

India *Email: [email protected] Phone: +919424747687 ABSTRACT In the present study, the performance of a new combination of biofuels jatropha biodiesel and turpentine oil for a diesel engine with a view to eliminate dependency on fossil fuel was observed. Jatropha biodiesel and turpentine oil are a high and low viscosity fuel combination with comparable heating values to that of diesel; this makes them conducive for in a diesel engine. The extensive experimental work was carried out on a Kirloskar make-single cylinder, constant speed, four strokes, 661cc diesel engine to examine the combustion performance and emission characteristics using the jatropha methyl-ester with turpentine oil and pure diesel. The engine was fuelled with the jatropha methyl-ester with turpentine oil (50% - 50% on a volume basis) blend run on different loading conditions from no load, 35%, 65%, and full load. The blend of a dual biofuel was prepared with the help of a magnetic stirrer at 40°C in the presence of a surfactant span 80. The dual fuel blend was found to be superior to the diesel fuel in all aspects such as performance and emissions. -

Wickersham Co-Chair of Committee, Jason E. Sawyer Larry A. Redmon Head of Department, H. Russell Cross August 2017 Major Subject: Animal Science Copyright 2017 Vinicius Papin Briani ABSTRACT Effects of increasing levels of the anti-nutritional compounds karanjin and pongamol on intake, nutrient utilization and ruminal fermentation were evaluated with a growing diet (trial I) and a forage diet (trial II). Steers had ad libitum access to growing diet and Bermuda grass hay during trial 1 and trial 2, respectively. At the same time diets were fed, steers received their allocated doses of karanjin and pongamol via ruminal cannula to determine acceptable inclusion level of pongamia seedcakes containing varying levels of karanjin and pongamol, which are contained in the residual oil of commercially available pongamia seedcakes. Twelve steers in both studies were assigned to completely randomized block design consisting of a control (no karanjin and no pongamol) and one of 3 levels of karanjin and pongamol. Dosing increasing levels karanjin and pongamol linearly (P < 0.01) decreased intake in Trial 1. No significant effects (P ≥ 0.12) were observed for total DMD, OMD, NDFD, ADFD and CPD. -

R. iliensis is a rare, endangered, narrow-endemic species growing in floodplains of the Ili and Sharyn rivers of Almaty region. The flower volatiles have been investigated with the tandem of MSD-SPME and GC-MS/FID techniques. The seed lipids were extracted from the ripe fruits with microextraction technique. The flower volatiles of R. iliensis three populations were characterized by the abundance of oxygenated monoterpenes with benzaldehyde (13.3-38.7 %) and citronellol (2.6-8.8 %) as the major constituents. There were detected significant differences in floral scents between the populations. The flowers of P-I (from Sharyn River) contain sesquiterpene -elemene (8.8%), the flowers of P-II (upper reaches of the Ili River) were rich in -gurjunene (12.8%), while flowers of P-III (lower reaches of the Ili River) contained any sesquiterpenes. -

Turn, and William Kusch Cite This: https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.1c00635 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Pongamia, a leguminous, oilseed-bearing tree, is a potential resource for renewable fuels in general and sustainable aviation fuel in particular. The present work characterizes physicochemical properties of reproductive materials (seeds and pods) from pongamia trees grown in different environments at five locations on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, USA. Proximate and ultimate analyses, heating value, and elemental composition of the seeds, pods, and de-oiled seed cake were determined. The oil content of the seeds and the properties of the oil were determined using American Society for Testing and Materials and American Oil Chemist’s Society methods. The seed oil content ranged from 19 to 33 wt % across the trees and locations. Oleic (C18:1) was the fatty acid present in the greatest abundance (47 to 60 wt %), and unsaturated fatty acids accounted for 77 to 83 wt % of the oil. Pongamia oil was found to have similar characteristics as other plant seed oils (canola and jatropha) and would be expected to be well suited for hydroprocessed production of sustainable aviation fuel. Nitrogen- containing species is retained in the solid phase during oil extraction, and the de-oiled seed cake exhibited enrichment in the N content, ∼5 to 6%, in comparison with the parent seed. The pods would need further treatment before being used as fuel for combustion or gasification owing to the high potassium and chlorine contents. -

[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT The pollution caused by fuel combustion either for mechanical or electrical energy generation purposes is nowadays one of the most important environmental issues. It has been proven that combustion emissions, particularly those from cars and trucks, are linked with severe damages to the environment and human health. Along with the environmental problems, is necessary to consider that fossil resources are declining and their exploitation is getting more and more expensive. Bioenergy represent a sustainable solution for energy generation. Bioenergy is renewable energy made from plant‐derived organic matter, collectively termed "biomass". Biomass‐based energy sources are potentially carbon dioxide neutral and recycle the same carbon atoms. Life cycle assessments are reported to evaluate the net environmental impacts of biofuels. The term biofuel refers to liquid or gaseous fuels for the internal combustion engines that are predominantly produced from biomass. Biofuel policy might capitalize on the production of biofuels supporting rural economic development and sustainable agriculture. Amongst biofuels pure plant oil (PPO) has been investigated. This paper sets out to review the state of the art for PPO use as fuel in diesel engines, based on a wide literature review. -

However, the full medicinal potential of many seed oil plants is yet to be properly reviewed, particularly for their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. North-East India has rich resources of seed oil plants. The availability of detailed information on these plants is quite limited. This review aims to explore and evaluate these seed oil plants of the North-East India with particular emphasis on their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities as well as chemical compositions. A comprehensive literature search on seed oil plants of this region has been performed. Seed oil yielding plants of this region can be categorized into two categories: plants that are used traditionally as sources of edible or medicinal oils and plants that are used for purposes other than as sources of oils. Many seed oil plants of this region have been reported to possess antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, and to produce various types of compounds.
