    Boldo(Peumus boldus Mol.) Rescate de un Patrimonio Forestal Chileno Manejo Sustentable y Valorización de sus Productos EDITORES Susana Benedetti Ruiz1 Santiago Barros Asenjo2 1 Ingeniera Forestal. Investigadora Sede Metropolitana INFOR. Jefa Proyecto Innovación Silvícola e Industrial del Boldo en la Zona Central de Chile. [email protected] 2 Ingeniero Forestal. Relaciones Internacionales y Transferencia Tecnológica INFOR [email protected] Boldo (Peumus boldus Mol.) - Rescate de un patrimonio forestal chileno. Prólogo MANEJO SUSTENTABLE Y VALORIZACIÓN DE SUS PRODUCTOS PRÓLOGO El boldo (Peumus boldus Mol.) es una especie nativa y endémica de Chile presente en formaciones naturales de amplia distribución en la zona central y sur del país, entre las Regiones de Coquimbo y Los Lagos. El uso de su madera, sus hojas y sus frutos es de larga data; los pueblos originarios antes de la llegada de los españoles ya usaban sus hojas para infusiones con fines digestivos y medicinales lo que sigue siendo una arraigada costumbre nacional. Su valor medicinal radica en principios activos contenidos tanto en sus hojas como en su corteza. El principal de ellos es el alcaloide conocido como boldina, producto que ya en el siglo XIX despertaba el interés en otros países, como Francia, donde en 1872 ya se realizaban investigaciones sobre sus propiedades. Desde principios del siglo XX las hojas de boldo han trascendido el mercado nacional y se han ex- portado a distintos países con la consecuente presión sobre el recurso, el cual se ha visto reducido en superficie y degradado en los bosques existentes debido a prácticas extractivas que no aseguran su sustentabilidad.

  • Thesis Final Edition
    CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1. Curcuma zedoaria Curcuma zedoaria is a starchy rhizomatous/tuberous from the Zingiberaceae family (table 1.1), commonly known as ginger family. “Ginger” is a general term for members or species of the ginger families. “Curcuma” is the genus name of the rhizomatous herb, of Zingiberaceae. The name was first given by the Linnaeus species Plantarum from the Arabic term meaning yellow colour, probably referring to the colour of the rhizomes (Govindarajan, 1980). Taxonomic classification of Curcuma zedoaria Kingdom Plantae Subkingdom Viridaeplantae Phylum Tracheophyta Division Magnoliophyta Class Liliopsida Super order Zingiberanae Order Zingiberales Family Zingiberales Genus Curcuma Curcuma zedoaria Species Common Name Zedoary Table 1.1 Taxonomic classification of Curcuma zedoaria 1 Chapter 1 1.1.1. Description and distribution Curcuma zedoaria is locally known as “kunyit putih” or “temu putih”. It is able to grow up to one and half meters or even more. The leaves are around eighty centimetres long and they usually have a purple-brown flush along the midrib on both surfaces of the leaf. The rhizomes are frequently confused with those of Curcuma aeruginosa because both are of a similar colour (yellow). However, they can be distinguished easily by conducting a cross section on the rhizomes of the mature plants of Curcuma aeruginosa which are slightly dark purplish. In comparison, the colour of the rhizomes of Curcuma zedoaria is pale yellow or white. The rhizomes of Curcuma aeruginosa are highly aromatic due to the high amount of 1, 8-cineol as 25.20% (Ibrahim et al. 2003). Curcuma zedoaria grows mainly in the East-Asian countries including China (called Er- chu in Chinese), Vietnam, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia (can be found at Kuala Selangor, Teluk Intan; Perak, Labis; Johor, and Pahang) and Japan (Islam et al.

  • Chervil (Pronounced SHER-Vil) Is a Delicate Culinary Herb Used Frequently in French Cuisine
    PO Box 218, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019 Phone: 650 726 4980 - Fax: 650 726 2991 Email: [email protected] To Grow a great Garden, Start With Amazing Seeds Chervil (pronounced SHER-vil) is a delicate culinary herb used frequently in French cuisine. It is a member of the parsley family with a mild flavor. This spring herb is often used in egg dishes. It is sometimes called French parsley. Chervil takes like a delicate cross between tarragon and parsley. Chervil has a mild flavor with hints of licorice or anise, but without those flavors coming through strongly. Chervil leaves are delicate and curly, somewhat resembling carrot greens. They are a little paler and have frillier leaves than flat-leaf parsley. Some bunches have tightly-closed leaves. You may find bunches that have blossoms, but you should avoid those because the herb will have turned bitter. Uses for Chervil…..Because of its delicate flavor, chervil is usually included in recipes, such as salads and soups It is added at the last minute as the flavor won't hold up in prolonged cooking; a good addition to omelets and is commonly used in making a classic Béarnaise sauce. It is included in the fines herbs blend, which is used in French cooking on poultry, egg dishes, and in salads. If you have chervil available, you might want to use it in herb infused oil, herb butter, or herb pesto to use with fish, poultry, eggs, soups, or salads. For example, use it in a recipe for roasted cod with wine and herb butter.
