Contents Index of subjects 1 Index of publications of interest Index of titles 95 Index of authors 109 The following areas have been indexed under the Index of subjects: Editorial International Action Special Features Recent Events News and Notes Forthcoming Events Products and Markets Publications of Interest Country Compass Web Sites Energy Corner Readers’ Response Econook back cover Foreword Since its first issue in March 1994, Non-Wood News has focused on highlighting the importance of NWFP and promoting all aspects of non-wood forest products (NWFPs). Through its global coverage, it has sought to raise awareness among policy makers and other readers about the multiplicity of NWFPs and the opportunities that they can offer, as well as the vital role they play in forest-dependent communities. In fact, numerous people worldwide depend on NWFPs for their subsistence, food security, health care and cash income. Over the years, Non-Wood News has included articles, publications and readers’ contributions on a variety of NWFPs (bamboo, medicinal plants, mushrooms, rattan, shellac, etc.), their uses (e.g. in energy drinks and cosmetics, or as dyes, fabrics, fodder and shelter), their economic benefits (NWFP trade takes place in local, national and global markets) and their links to other key issues, such as the bushmeat crisis and biodiversity conservation, as well as traditional knowledge, bioprospecting and benefit-sharing. Non-Wood News has, therefore, collected a wealth of information since its inception. In an effort to manage this knowledge and facilitate its use and retrieval, the NWFP Programme decided to index the first 12 issues of Non-Wood News. These indexes are now available in two volumes: the first covering issues 1 to 6, with its companion volume covering issues 7 to 12. To accompany these indexes and permit a rapid consultation, all issues of Non-Wood News have now been made available in pdf format. These, together with more information on the NWFP Programme and its publications, can be accessed from the NWFP home page at www.fao.org/forestry/site/6367/en. We hope these new information tools will be of benefit to our readers and to everyone researching the multifaceted world of NWFP.

  • Physico-Chemical and Nutritional Characteristics, and Antimicrobial Activity of Oil Palm Syrup, Raffia Palm Syrup and Honey
    IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) e-ISSN: 2278-3008, p-ISSN:2319-7676. Volume 11, Issue 1 Ver. I (Jan. - Feb. 2016), PP 73-78 www.iosrjournals.org Physico-chemical and Nutritional Characteristics, and Antimicrobial Activity of Oil Palm Syrup, Raffia Palm Syrup and Honey *Fred Omon Oboh, Lorenta Iyare, Monday Idemudia and Stephen Enabulele. Department of Basic Sciences, Benson Idahosa University, P.M.B. 1100, Benin City, Nigeria. Correspondence e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: The physico-chemical characteristics and antimicrobial activity of oil palm syrup, raffia palm syrup and honey were studied. The materials contained mainly carbohydrate (64.76-68.79%) and water (28.05- 31.50). They exhibited similar densities (1.23-1.26 g cm-3) and pH (3.51-4.18), and had low ash (0.30-0.50%), protein (0.24-1.04%) and lipid (2.20-3.62%) content. They had modest content of Fe (2.35-3.30 mg/100g), Ca (37.06-79.05 mg/100g), and phenolic compounds (125.93-185.44 mg GAE /100 g), and were rich in potassium (325.12-628.56 mg/100g). They contained non-enzymatic browning products (browning intensity was 0.71 for honey, 0.159 for raffia palm syrup and 0.175 for oil palm syrup). The materials exhibited antimicrobial activity against clinical strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial activities of dilute solutions (0.1 ml, 0.5% aqueous solutions) of the honey (containing 360 µg dry matter) and syrups (raffia, 360 µg and oil palm, 340 µg dry matter) were similar to that of 10 µg of the antibiotic streptomycin.

  • The Following Carcinogenic Essential Oils Should Not Be Used In
    Aromatherapy Undiluted- Safety and Ethics Copyright © Tony Burfield and Sylla Sheppard-Hanger (2005) [modified from a previous article “A Brief Safety Guidance on Essential Oils” written for IFA, Sept 2004]. Intro In the last 20 years aromatherapy has spread its influence to the household, toiletries and personal care areas: consumer products claiming to relax or invigorate our psyche’s have invaded our bathrooms, kitchen and living room areas. The numbers of therapists using essential oils in Europe and the USA has grown from a handful in the early 1980’s to thousands now worldwide. We have had time to add to our bank of knowledge on essential oils from reflecting on many decades of aromatherapeutic development and history, the collection of anecdotal information from practicing therapists, as well as from clinical & scientific investigations. We have also had enough time to consider the risks in employing essential oils in therapy. In the last twenty years, many more people have had accidents, been ‘burnt’, developed rashes, become allergic, and become sensitized to our beloved tools. Why is this? In this paper, we hope to shed light on this issue, clarify current safety findings, and discuss how Aromatherapists and those in the aromatherapy trade (suppliers, spas, etc.) can interpret this data for continued safe practice. After a refresher on current safety issues including carcinogenic and toxic oils, irritant and photo-toxic oils, we will look at allergens, oils without formal testing, pregnancy issues and medication interactions. We will address the increasing numbers of cases of sensitization and the effect of diluting essential oils.

  • Use of Undiluted Tea-Tree Oil As a Cosmetic
    Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) Use of undiluted tea-tree oil as a cosmetic Opinion of the Federal Insitute for Risk Assessment (BfR), 1th September 2003 Background Recently there has been an increasing amount of reports on contact-allergic eczema in con- junction with the use of tea-tree oil. Tea-tree oil is sold as a pure natural product, highly con- centrated and undiluted in cosmetics. Tea-tree oil is advertised as a universal remedy al- though there is no marketing authorisation as a pharmaceutical product. Concentrated tea-tree oil has been classified as harmful according to the self-classification of the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) and is labelled with R-phrases R 22 (harmful if swallowed) R 38 (irritating to skin) and R 65 (may cause lung damage if swallowed) as well as the symbol Xn (harmful) (IFRA Labelling Manual 1, 2001). These indications of health hazards are also part of the safety data sheets of raw material suppliers. At the 65th and 66th meetings of the Cosmetics Committee at the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), health risks associated with the use of undiluted and highly concentrated tea-tree oil in cosmetic products were discussed extensively. Result Tea-tree oil is a mixture of various terpenes extracted from the Australian tea-tree. Undiluted tea-tree oil is a pure natural product. In the presence of atmospheric oxygen but also when exposed to light and higher temperatures, oxidation processes occur leading to the formation of peroxides, epoxides and endoperoxides which have a sensitising potency and may trigger allergic skin reactions.

There are 5 well known palm species that produce Neera in Indonesia such as arenga palm, coconut tree, doub palm, nipa palm and palm oil. Neera can be utilized as raw material for various derivatives such as palm sugar, sweet palm toddy, and alcoholic toddy. Tapping of neera is a crucial step because neera prone to immediately degrade and causing poor quality of palm sugar. Traditional sugar processing has some drawbacks for example: low energy efficiency processing and off-specification products. On the other side, sugar palm neera has important antioxidant component which benefits for human that unavailable in normal white sugar from sugarcane.
