Two grams of garlic was placed in a beaker and heated for 5 min at 40 °C. Next, aliquots of 0.01 and 0.05 g of powdered samples of seven plants (dokudami, thyme, rosemary, coriander, dandelion, spiny sow thistle and green tea) were mixed with 1 ml of volatile or non-volatile dokudami extract and added to the garlic sample. The garlic odor intensity was subsequently evaluated by sniffing by 10 trained individuals. The deodorizing activity test was carried out at 0, 3 and 6 h after adding the dokudami extract. The deodorizing effect of dokudami on masking garlic odor was the highest of any plant and became higher with increased dose. In addition, the deodorizing activity of dokudami increased with time and persisted. Moreover, whether the deodorizing compounds of dokudami were volatile or non-volatile was investigated. The deodorizing activity of a volatile solution of dokudami against garlic was extremely higher than that of dokudami dry powder.

  • Prioritization of Medicinal Plant for Their Development
    PRIORITIZATION OF MEDICINAL PLANT FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENT Criteria for prioritization The National Medicinal Plant Board initially prioritized 32 medicinal plants at national level for their conservation and development. Recently, the list has been revised and 82 species have been included in the list. For the overall development of the medicinal plant sector in the state, there is a need to prioritize various medicinal plant species. This prioritization has to be based on different criteria such as ,(i) criteria for economic development, (ii) Prioritization to address the primary health care of the local community, (iii) medicinal plants prioritized for home and institutional garden, and (iv) prioritization of medicinal plants with conservation value. In the following section we have tried to touch upon different priorities relevant to the state. Medicinal Plants prioritized for trade for high income. The most important criterion they needs to be considered while prioritizing the species for high income is that the plants should be suitable to grow in the prevalent agroclimatic conditions of the state. The species should have high trade value. It should have consistently high demand. The collection, harvest and post harvest technology should suit to the site conditions of Meghalaya.There should have easy access to planting material and it should be comparatively easy to grow. Preference will also be given to those species which are suitable to grow in multi-tier plantations. The selected species should not get easily deteriorated on storage and continued cultivation. They should have enhanced scope for value addition either through primary processing or through secondary processing. A list of top ten prioritized species for obtaining high income through cultivation and trade is given in Table 18.

Abramson Jeffrey Hou Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Built Environment ©Copyright 2015 Jiawen Hu University of Washington Abstract Coming Home to the Land: Natural Farming as Therapeutic Landscape Experience in Chengdu Plain, China Jiawen Hu Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Robert Mugerauer Department of Urban Design and Planning This ethnographic-phenomenological research aims to explore the phenomenon of peri-urban farming, rural-urban integration, and community building that are crystallized in Chengdu Plain, China in recent years. Through the lens of therapeutic landscape experience, individual and community well-being is examined with these questions: (1) what are participants’ experience of farming in this landscape; (2) if this experience benefits well-being on physical, psychological, and spiritual levels; (3) how do elements in the landscape contribute to this experience; (4) how was a healthy grassroots community formed around the farm and what are the implications for the broader society. The phenomenology of embodied experience, reflections on urbanization and urban life, and therapeutic landscape experience compose the theoretical framework. In line with this perspective based on the lifeworld experience, an ethnographic-phenomenological method is applied to this research, with specific instruments of case study, open-ended interview, and participatory observation. Emergent themes from the field work are summarized according to Freire’s theory of critical dialogues.

  • Ethnic Foods As Unprepared Materials and As Cuisines in a Culture-Based Development Project in Southwest China
    Xu Wu East China Normal University, Shanghai Ethnic Foods as Unprepared Materials and as Cuisines in a Culture-based Development Project in Southwest China In contemporary China, urban consumers often imagine that the unprepared foods produced in rural areas (often less developed and occupied by ethnic minorities) are pollution free, healthy, and environmentally friendly. During a recent culture-based development project in southwest China, villagers in several ethnic minority villages proposed that local foods could act as cultural resources for rural development. However, instead of highlighting the eth- nic affiliation of their unprepared foods, villagers insisted on marketing their cuisines (cooked or prepared foods) under the new brand name of nongji- ale (“farmers’ joy”). My argument is that the ethnic titles of these minority groups have been closely associated with negative connotations and so-called “unusual cuisines” (yiwei). This association cannot be easily removed. It is already rooted in public discourse and present throughout historical docu- ments. However, the rebranding of restaurants as nongjiale has brought local villagers a new, positive marketing strategy. In urban and mainstream Chinese cultural areas, nongjiale connotes that food is organic, nutritious, ecological, and part of a return to nature. keywords: ethnic minority food—nongjiale restaurants—“unusual cuisines” (yiwei)—southwest China Asian Ethnology Volume 75, Number 2 • 2016, 419–439 © Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture his study is based on fieldwork for the final evaluation of the United Nation’s TChina Culture and Development Partnership Framework (CCdPF) proj- ect, which took place in five ethnic minority villages (belonging to Miao, Dong, De’ang, and Jingpo) in Guizhou and Yunnan in 2011.

  • Bioinvasion and Global Environmental Governance: the Transnational Policy Network on Invasive Alien Species China's Actions O
    1 Bioinvasion and Global Environmental Governance: The Transnational Policy Network on Invasive Alien Species China’s Actions on IAS Description1 The People’s Republic of China is a communist state in East Asia, bordering the East China Sea, Korea Bay, Yellow Sea, and South China Sea, between North Korea and Vietnam. For centuries China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the country was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation. The claimed area of the ROC includes Mainland China and several off-shore islands (Taiwan, Outer Mongolia, Northern Burma, and Tuva, which is now Russian territory). The current President Ma Ying-jeou reinstated the ROC's claim to be the sole legitimate government of China and the claim that mainland China is part of ROC's territory. The extremely diverse climate; tropical in south to subarctic in north, varies over the diverse terrain, mostly mountains, high plateaus, deserts in west; plains, deltas, and hills in east. After 1978, Deng Xiaoping and other leaders focused on market-oriented economic development and by 2000 output had quadrupled. Economic development has been more rapid in coastal provinces than in the interior, and approximately 200 million rural laborers and their dependents have relocated to urban areas to find work. One demographic consequence of the "one child" policy is that China is now one of the most rapidly aging countries in the world. For much of the population (1.3 billion), living standards have improved dramatically and the room for personal choice has expanded, yet political controls remain tight.

  • Deodorization of Garlic Breath Volatiles by Food and Food Components
    Deodorization of Garlic Breath Volatiles by Food and Food Components. Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ryan Munch, B.S. Graduate Program in Food Science & Technology The Ohio State University 2013 Thesis Committee: Dr. Sheryl Barringer, Advisor Dr. John H. Litchfield Dr. Luis Rodriguez-Saona Copyright by Ryan Munch 2013 Abstract The ability of foods and beverages to reduce allyl methyl disulfide, diallyl disulfide, allyl mercaptan, and allyl methyl sulfide on human breath after consumption of raw garlic was examined. The treatments were consumed immediately following raw garlic consumption for breath measurements, or were blended with garlic prior to headspace measurements. Measurements were done using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS). Chlorophyllin treatment performed similarly to the control. Successful treatments may be due to enzymatic, polyphenolic, or acid deodorization. If occurring, enzymatic deodorization involved oxidation of polyphenolic compounds by enzymes, with the oxidized polyphenols causing deodorization. This may have been shown in raw apple, parsley, spinach, and mint treatments. Polyphenolic deodorization involved deodorization by polyphenolic compounds without enzymatic activity. This might have occurred for microwaved apple, green tea, and lemon juice treatments. Acid deodorization involves the inactivation of alliinase at a pH below 3.6, which causes garlic volatiles concentrations to be lowered. This deodorization mechanism is possible in soft drink and lemon juice breath treatments, and in pH-adjusted headspace measurements. Whey protein volatile concentrations were similar to the control’s with lack of enzymes, polyphenolic compounds, and acidic pH as the possible cause.
