EXCEL USA, LLC www.eexcel.net V.01 E. EXCEL North America – USA Product Value Sheet Dietary Supplement D•I® Helps to Support a Balanced Digestive System* THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE INGREDIENTS Perilla is a branching, tender plant with white to lavender flowers. When mature, the perilla plant grows to about four feet high. It is native to India, Burma, Japan, Korea and China. Traditional Chinese Herbalists have recorded the use of perilla as far back as 1,500 years ago. Perilla, a member of the mint family, is used by many cultures, especially in Japanese cuisine. Scientist have shown that this Traditional Chinese Herb may help support the digestive system.* Chinese Red Dates are one of man’s best health foods containing numerous nutrients. Dates have been cultivated for over 3,000 years in China. They are the mature fruits of jujube trees. Red dates are the most commonly used dates to restore and balance appetite, as well as supporting the digestive tract.* Licorice Root is one of the most important ingredients used in herbal remedies. The traditional use of licorice root dates back (3,000 BC to 600 BC) to ancient Assyria, Egypt, China and India. It is still used today for a variety of reasons including its use as a natural and effective digestive aid.* Tangerine is a member of the citrus family. It is sweet and sour with juicy and tender flesh. Tangerine peel has a lengthy history of use by Traditional Chinese Herbalists to help relieve indigestion, gas and digestive weakness.* Ginger is one of the most commonly used spices in the world. Ancient cultures used it to preserve food and combat digestive problems. People from India believe that ginger possesses healing powers and sometimes use it in religious ceremonies. Chinese sailors used ginger to relieve seasickness, while the Greeks wrapped ginger in bread, which evolved over time to become the gingerbread which we are familiar with today. Ginger is well known to soothe the stomach and support the digestive tract.* Chinese Quince Fruit grows on sturdy drought resistant trees or shrubs native to the middle east and Asia. The strongly perfumed fruit ripens to a bright golden yellow color in the autumn. Quince is from the same family as pears and apples but the fruit from most varieties are too hard, tart, or astringent to eat. A study conducted by the prestigious Iranian medical school Research Council of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, indicates that quince fruit is effective in helping to balance the effects of digestive inflammation and stomach distress. This study supports the use of the fruit in traditional herbal applications for gastrointestinal conditions.* **This product information is approved for USA Markets. E.

  • Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties of Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinalis, L.): a Review

In this regard, natural extracts of the Lamiaceae family, such as rosemary, have been studied because of its bioactive properties. Several studies have reported that rosemary extracts show biological bioactivities such as hepatoprotective, antifungal, insecticide, antioxidant and antibacterial. It is well known that the biological properties in rosemary are mainly due to phenolic compounds. However, it is essential to take into account that these biological properties depend on different aspects. Their use in foods is limited because of their odour, colour and taste. For that reason, commercial methods have been developed for the preparation of odourless and colourless antioxidant compounds from rosemary. Owing to the new applications of natural extracts in preservatives, this review gives a view on the use of natural extract from rosemary in foods and its effect on preservative activities. Specifically, the relationship between the structure and activity (antimicrobial and antioxidant) of the active components in rosemary are being reviewed.

  • Perilla Mint
    Extension W135 Perilla Mint Larry Steckel, Assistant Professor, Plant Sciences Neil Rhodes, Professor and Department Head, Plant Sciences Perilla Mint Peri indicutescens (L.) Britt. Also known as: beefsteak plant, common perilla, purple perilla, purple mint, shiso, Chinese basil, wild basil, blueweed, Joseph’s coat, wild coleus, rattlesnake weed Classification and Description Perilla mint is a member of the Lamiaceae or mint family. About 200 genera and 3200 species make up the mint plant family. Perilla mint is an erect, herbaceous annual that can grow to heights of 2 feet. It is native to East Asia. The cotyledons are longer than they are broad, with the broadest portion near the tip. The leaves are simple, opposite and can be purple or green tinged with purple, making it an attractive plant. Leaves have coarsely serrated (toothed) leaf margins pointed toward the tip and can be up to 5 inches wide and 7 inches long. Leaves are egg-shaped, with the largest part nearest the Perilla mint base. The stems of perilla mint are square in cross section, erect, hairy, somewhat branched and green or purple. Many small, white to purplish-white flowers with a ring of hairs in the throat are clustered in the terminals of these plants. Reproduction is by seed. Perilla mint has a shallow taproot and fibrous roots. Weed Status and Injury Perilla mint causes more cattle deaths in Tennessee than any other toxic plant. Perilla is very poisonous to cattle and other ruminants, as well as horses. All plant parts are toxic, especially the flowering structures. Dried plants in hay can be toxic, but the greatest risk is associated with consumption of fresh plant material, especially if flowers and fruit are present.

In the article the anatomical structure of two species Elsholtzia Willd. of flora of Ukraine is represented. The sources of literature provide only a morphological description of Elsholtzia stauntonii and Elsholtzia ciliate. We analyzed cross- sections and ultrastructure of leaf blade, petiole, petal and stem, determined their anatomical features, and investigated the ultrastructure of seeds.

National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nehru Marg, Nagpur, India D. Dhyani Nutritional, food and energy value of Perilla frutescens: an underutilised traditional oilseed crop of Western Himalaya, India KEYWORDS: biochemical, bhangjeera, nutrients, oilseeds Perilla frutescens has been a food supplement of hill people of Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. Due to Abstractinsufficient utilisation techniques, poor research and marketing strategies, this oil seed crop species always remain neglected. Here an effort has done to highlight the potential of this underutilised species for its better utilisation and conservation through identifying the nutritional, food and energy value of Perilla. The analysed results showed that Perilla seed contains a total of 7.6% moisture and 3.5% of ash contents. Proximate nutrient revealed a good composition of fat (43.57%), fibre (21.54%) carbohydrate (19.48%), protein (11.14%), lipids (15.43%) and organic matter (94.5%). Seed also contained imperative macronutrients in which the amount of potassium was 497.35mg/100g, magnesium was 322.43mg/100g, calcium was 226.33mg/100g and phosphorus was 212.25mg/100g. Micronutrients included significant amount of iron (16.22mg), zinc (11.6mg) and copper (1.04mg) per 100g. Besides, the energy value of 1091.45kJ was estimated for 100 g of seeds. Present investigation could be an informative database on nutritional and food potential of Perilla and could be a platform for researchers, scientists, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies to explore possibilities of endorsing, conserving and commercialising this underutilised traditional oilseed crop.
