Nev- ertheless, solvents extraction may exhibit harmful effects. The present study was aimed to evaluate the safety of using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SCO2) of dabai pulp oil by acute toxicity study in Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Methods: The CO pulp oil extract was prepared by SCO2 extraction of the freeze- dried pulp and was administered orally to SPF SD rats (consisted of 5 rats/sex/group) at upper limit dose 5000 mg/kg body weight (BW) for 14 days. The study includes the control and treatment groups, each consisting of 5 male and female rats. The rats were fed and allowed to drink sterilized water ad libitum. Fatty acid composition (FAC) of the extract was determined using GC-FID. Electrolytes and biochemical parameters in blood, as well as relative organs weight were measured. Results: The extract at a single dose of 5000 mg/kg did not cause any acute toxicity effects or mortality to the treatment of rats during observation periods in 14 days. -

Systematic Conservation Planning in Thailand
SYSTEMATIC CONSERVATION PLANNING IN THAILAND DARAPORN CHAIRAT Thesis submitted in total fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY 2015 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that, anyone who consults it, is understood to recognize that its copyright rests with its author. Due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. i ii Systematic Conservation Planning in Thailand Daraporn Chairat Abstract Thailand supports a variety of tropical ecosystems and biodiversity. The country has approximately 12,050 species of plants, which account for 8% of estimated plant species found globally. However, the forest cover of Thailand is under threats: habitat degradation, illegal logging, shifting cultivation and human settlement are the main causes of the reduction in forest area. As a result, rates of biodiversity loss have been high for some decades. The most effective tool to conserve biodiversity is the designation of protected areas (PA). The effective and most scientifically robust approach for designing networks of reserve systems is systematic conservation planning, which is designed to identify conservation priorities on the basis of analysing spatial patterns in species distributions and associated threats. The designation of PAs of Thailand were initially based on expert consultations selecting the areas that are suitable for conserving forest resources, not systematically selected. Consequently, the PA management was based on individual management plans for each PA. The previous work has also identified that no previous attempt has been made to apply the principles and methods of systematic conservation planning. Additionally, tree species have been neglected in previous analyses of the coverage of PAs in Thailand. -

Accepted 26 October, 2010 Dabai (Canarium odontophyllum Miq.) is an indigenous fruit to East Malaysia, Palawan (Philippines) and Sumatra (Indonesia). The fruits are hard, and locals prepare the fruit by seeping it in about 50°C water for 15 to 20 min to soften the flesh and eaten with salt and/or sugar. It is hypothesized; and exogenous ethylene could be used as an alternative method to soften the fruit. Therefore, this study was carried out to determine postharvest quality of dabai fruit using 0, 10, 50 and 100 ml/L of exogenous ethylene exposed for 0, 24, 48 and 72 h at 27°C. Carbon dioxide production in ethylene treated dabai fruit followed a pattern, in that as concentration of exogenous ethylene increased, the carbon dioxide production decreased. Exogenous ethylene induced production of endogenous ethylene with highest ethylene production at 24 h exposure among four ethylene exposure duration. The skin and flesh colour of dabai fruit changed as ethylene exposure duration progressed. Exogenous ethylene affected dabai fruit firmness significantly while soluble solids concentration increased as exposure duration advanced. The titratable acidity of dabai fruit increased irrespective of exogenous ethylene concentration and exposure duration. -

The defatted pili pulp meal, a mixture of fruit peel and pulp that remains after pili pulp oil extraction, may be considered a functional ingredient because of its high dietary fiber and phytonutrient content. This study provides initial information on the microbiological and heavy metal contents of defatted pili pulp meal residue and preliminary toxicity Keywords report of its ethanolic extract. Ground lyophilized samples were subjected to heavy metal and microbiological analyses. An ethanolic extract of the plant material was prepared for Canarium ovatum phytochemical screening and acute oral toxicity testing. Results showed that both heavy Pili Heavy metals metals and microbiological profiles of defatted pili meal residue pass the criteria for botanical Phytochemicals ingredients set by relevant regulatory agencies. Phytochemical screening showed the presence Acute oral toxicity of important bioactive compounds namely, flavonoids, tannins, anthraquinones, indoles, alkaloids, sterols, and terpenes. In acute oral toxicity, no mortalities were recorded over a 14- day experimental period. -

The tropical nut Canarium indicum (canarium nut) is increasingly used as a shade tree for cocoa and has potential for commercialization as a sustainable crop that will improve food security and livelihoods in Melanesia and East Asia. There is no information on canarium nut shelf life characteristics. Canarium kernels may be prone to rancidity, due to a high content of unsaturated fatty acids. Kernels at 5.4% moisture content were vacuum-packed with a domestic vacuum-packaging system and stored for six months in Papua New Guinea and for nine months in Southeast Queensland, Australia at both ambient temperatures (22 to 31 ◦C and 22 to 25 ◦C, respectively) and under refrigeration. -

One Ecosystem 2: e13708. https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.2.e13708 Abstract Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, the oldest forest reserve in Malaysia established in 1900, lies in the center of Kuala Lumpur, the capital city. Over time it has been reduced from 17.5 ha to 9.37 ha but still retains important biodiversity. Its lowland equatorial rain forest has never been logged and tall emergent species to 35 m tall and 124 cm diameter persist. Since 1900, 499 plant species (2 lycophytes, 25 ferns, 39 monocots and 433 dicots) have been recorded. This year-long survey refound 425 species, including the rare Tarenna rudis (Rubiaceae), a local endemic found only in Selangor state. The multi-layered structure of lowland dipterocarp forest (16 Diperocarpaceae species were recorded) is intact. However, with diminishing size, the edge effect is more pronounced with secondary forest species, from trees to herbs, becoming established. In 2009, declared as the KL Forest Eco Park, it is important for its biodiversity, history, accessibility to the public for recreation (forest walks), scientific study, education (natural history, bird-watching, etc), as well as serving as a green lung in the bustling city. -
