The following examples, starting with the pistachio, are concerned primarily with variation in prohles of common volatile components of a number of aromatic plant species native to the Mediterranean Basin. For the most part, the examples involve...

The second column in the distillation train of an aromatics plant is required to split toluene and ethylbenzene. The recovery of toluene in the overheads must be 95%, and 90% of the ethylbenzene must be recovered in the bottoms. In addition to toluene and ethylbenzene, the feed also contains benzene and xylene. The feed enters the column under saturated conditions at a temperature of 170°C, with component flowrates given in Table 9.10. Estimate the mass balance around the column using the Fenske Equation. Assume that the K-values can be correlated by Equation 9.68 with constants A , 5 and C, given in Table 9.10. 

Homestead agroforestry system provides nearly 50% cash flow to the rural poor (Ahmed 1999). Collectively, homestead agroforestry production system contributes about 70% fruit, 40% vegetable, 70% timber, and 90% firewood and bamboo requirement of Bangladesh (Miah and Ahmed 2003). In addition, the homestead plantations are recognized repositories of non-timber products such as medicinal and aromatic plants, ornamentals, bamboos, khair, lac, honey, cane, murta plants, and grasses.

Birds that breed in cavities and reuse their nest sites often incorporate green parts of aromatic plants into their nests. Starlings, Sturnus vulgaris, prefer certain species of plants to others. House sparrows. Passer domesticus, incorporate neem (margosa) tree, Azadirachta indica, leaves into their nests. Extracts from neem leaves repel arthropods and inhibit oviposition (Sengupta, 1981). The aromatic plants are thought to fulfill an important function by keeping down populations of microbes in the birds nests (Mason and Clark, 1986). 

Even bird species with smaller olfactory bulbs respond to odors more than previously assumed. Starlings, Sturnus vulgaris, for instance, olfactorily discriminate species of aromatic plants they place in their nests. Three lines of...

Enantiomeric Distribution of Odorous Oxygenated Monoterpenes in Aromatic Plants... 

The use of enantiomers as additional markers for taxonomic characterization of aromatic plants may be very helpful. The differences in the enantiomeric distribution of trans- and cis- sabinene hydrates in two Origanum species enable the species to be distinguished in spite of their similar essential oil compositions. A further study on the natural variation of the enantiomeric composition within a wild population may be carried out in order to examine the stability in a taxon (including the possible presence of chemotypes). The enantiomeric ratio of essential oil components is a reliable parameter for assessing quality because it may be indicative of adulteration, contamination, aging, shelf life, technological process and the botanical source of a specific chiral compound. ...
