Rutin OH Ruta graveolens L. (Yuin Siang), commonly known as rue, has been used in America, Asia, and Europe for the treatment of CH3 heart disease, wounds, and rheumatism [6,7].

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%).

Abstract: Ruta L. is a typical genus of the citrus family, Rutaceae Juss. and comprises ca. 40 different species, mainly distributed in the Mediterranean region. Ruta species have long been used in traditional medicines as an abortifacient and emmenagogue and for the treatment of lung diseases and microbial infections. The genus Ruta is rich in essential oils, which predominantly contain aliphatic ketones, e.g., 2-undecanone and 2-nonanone, but lack any significant amounts of terpenes. Three Ruta species, Ruta chalepensis L., Ruta graveolens L., and Ruta montana L., have been extensively studied for the composition of their essential oils and several bioactivities, revealing their potential medicinal and agrochemical applications.

  • Asparagus with Garlic Scapes
    Asparagus w/Garlic Scapes This dish is simple, easy, and delicious! Don’t be afraid of the horseradish; you can leave it out but we suggest you give it a shot. Horseradish root and garlic scapes are available in early June only, and young garlic is available soon after. The asparagus will be gone mid-June, so grab it while you can! If you miss the local asparagus window, you can always go with the imported kind from the grocery store, but really... the local tastes the BEST. To mellow the garlic, this recipe calls for salting it. Alternately, lightly sauté the scapes or garlic instead. A little heat will also mellow the horseradish root. INGREDIENTS & DIRECTIONS 1 head young garlic (with a few inches of stem) or 2 garlic scapes 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and washed 2 teaspoons freshly grated horseradish root 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 fresh lemon Salt Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Trim the root end of the garlic; if it has a stem, cut it 4 inches from the bulb. Slice the bulb and stem in half, lengthwise. Remove any tough outer skin. Lay each half cut-side-down and slice as thinly as possible (if using garlic scapes, also slice as thinly as possible). Gather up the garlic in a bowl, season with coarse salt and work the salt into the sliced garlic using your fingers. If you don’t like the idea of your fingers smelling of garlic, grab some rubber gloves. Let the garlic sit for at least 10 minutes.

Good with eggplant, most fruit, pumpkins and other squashes, sweet potatoes and other root vegetables. Combines well with chili, cloves, coriander, garlic, ginger, mace, mustard, pepper, rosemary and thyme. AAnisenise The aroma and taste of the seeds are sweet, licorice like, warm, and fruity, but Indian anise can have the same fragrant, sweet, licorice notes, with mild peppery undertones. The seeds are more subtly fl avored than fennel or star anise. Good with apples, chestnuts, fi gs, fi sh and seafood, nuts, pumpkin and root vegetables. Combines well with allspice, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, fennel, garlic, nutmeg, pepper and star anise. BBasilasil Sweet basil has a complex sweet, spicy aroma with notes of clove and anise. The fl avor is warming, peppery and clove-like with underlying mint and anise tones. Essential to pesto and pistou.

Unwrap beef, rinse well and pat dry. Do not trim. Wrap roast loosely in triple layer of cheesecloth and se on rack over rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate for 7 days. After the 1st day, carefully unwrap and then rewrap with the same cheesecloth to keep the cloth fibers from sticking to the meat. When ready to roast, unwrap the meat and shave off & discard the hard, dried outer layer of the meat. shave away any dried areas of fat, too, but leave behind as much of the good fat as possible. Expect a 10 to 15% loss in weight. Cooking the Roast: Start with roast at room temperature - let stand, loosely covered, for about 2 hours. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pat the roast with a paper towel. Smear ends of roasts with butter. Place roast (ribs down, fatty side up) in a heavy metal pan with sides at least 3-inches deep (do not use nonstick pans). The ribs act as a natural rack.
