Tamarind 1990 - 2004
Tamarind 1990 - 2004 Author A. K. A. Dandjouma, C. Tchiegang, C. Kapseu and R. Ndjouenkeu Title Ricinodendron heudelotii (Bail.) 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. Lakshmaiah Title Additional beneficial effect of tamarind ingestion over defluoridated water supply Year 2004 Source title Nutrition Reference 20(5): 433-436 Abstract Objective: We evaluated the effect of tamarind (Tamarindus indicus) on ingestion and whether it provides additional beneficial effects on mobilization of fluoride from the bone after children are provided defluoridated water. Methods: A randomized, diet control study was conducted in 30 subjects from a fluoride endemic area after significantly decreasing urinary fluoride excretion by supplying defluoridated water for 2 wk. -
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. -

Musah Department of Chemistry, State University of New York at Albany, 1400 Washington Ave, Albany, NY, 12222, USA ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Plants that produce atropine and scopolamine fall under several genera within the nightshade family. Both Hierarchical classification atropine and scopolamine are used clinically, but they are also important in a forensics context because they are Psychoactive plants abused recreationally for their psychoactive properties. The accurate species attribution of these plants, which Seed species identifiction are related taxonomically, and which all contain the same characteristic biomarkers, is a challenging problem in Metabolome profiling both forensics and horticulture, as the plants are not only mind-altering, but are also important in landscaping as Direct analysis in real time-mass spectrometry ornamentals. Ambient ionization mass spectrometry in combination with a hierarchical classification workflow Chemometrics is shown to enable species identification of these plants. The hierarchical classification simplifies the classifi- cation problem to primarily consider the subset of models that account for the hierarchy taxonomy, instead of having it be based on discrimination between species using a single flat classification model. Accordingly, the seeds of 24 nightshade plant species spanning 5 genera (i.e. Atropa, Brugmansia, Datura, Hyocyamus and Mandragora), were analyzed by direct analysis in real time-high resolution mass spectrometry (DART-HRMS) with minimal sample preparation required. -

In Mexico, more than 250 species with edible stems, leaves, vines and flowers, known as “quelites,” are collected or are cultivated and consumed. The assessment of the quelite composition depends on the chemical characteristics of the compounds being evaluated; the protein quality is a direct function of the amino acid content, which is evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the contribution of minerals is evaluated by atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) or ICP mass spectrometry. The total contents of phenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, saponins and other general compounds have been analyzed using UV-vis spectrophotometry and by HPLC. -

Tree Management Plan DRAFT Otter Mound Preserve, Marco Island, FL
Tree Management Plan DRAFT Otter Mound Preserve, Marco Island, FL Prepared by: Alexandra Sulecki, Certified Arborist FL0561A February 2013 INTRODUCTION The Otter Mound Preserve is a 2.45-acre urban preserve located at 1831 Addison Court within the boundaries of the City of Marco Island in southwestern Collier County, Florida. The preserve lies within the “Indian Hills” section, on the south side of the island. Three parcels totaling 1.77 acres were acquired by Collier County under the Conservation Collier Program in 2004. An additional adjoining .68 acre parcel was acquired in 2007. The property was purchased primarily to protect the existing native Tropical Hardwood Hammock vegetation community. Tropical Hardwood Hammock is becoming rare in Collier County because its aesthetic qualities and location at higher elevations along the coast make it attractive for residential development. Tropical Hardwood Hammock is identified as a priority vegetation community for preservation under the Conservation Collier Ordinance, (Ord. 2002- 63, as amended, Section 10 1.A). The Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) associates Tropical Hardwood Hammock with a natural community identified as “Shell Mound,” which is imperiled statewide (ranking of S2) and globally (ranking of G2), due to its rarity (Guide to the Natural Communities of Florida, 2010). The preserve is managed for conservation, restoration and passive public use. The Preserve’s forest has conservation features that draw visitors. Its canopy serves as an important stopover site for a variety of migratory bird species and is home to the Florida tree snail (Liguus fasciatus), a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Species of Special Concern. -
Low-Maintenance Landscape Plants for South Florida1

A low-maintenance plant has low fertilizer requests from participants in the Florida Yards & requirements and few pest and disease problems. In Neighborhoods (FYN) program in Miami-Dade addition, low-maintenance plants suitable for south County for a list of recommended landscape plants Florida must also be adapted to—or at least suitable for south Florida. The resulting list includes tolerate—our poor, alkaline, sand- or limestone-based over 350 low-maintenance plants. The following soils. information is included for each species: common name, scientific name, maximum size, growth rate An additional criterion for the plants on this list (vines only), light preference, salt tolerance, and was that they are not listed as being invasive by the other useful characteristics. Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC, 2001), or restricted by any federal, state, or local laws Criteria (Burks, 2000). Miami-Dade County does have restrictions for planting certain species within 500 This section will describe the criteria by which feet of native habitats they are known to invade plants were selected. It is important to note, first, that (Miami-Dade County, 2001); caution statements are even the most drought-tolerant plants require provided for these species. watering during the establishment period.
