Borassus flabellifer

In only one instance, namely, Borassus flabellifer, has there been any report of decomposition leading to altered D-mannose D-galac-tose ratios caused by purification through the copper complexes, and it seems likely that this was due to fortuitous fractionation.37... 

In addition, negative dietary correlations can afford clues to drug discovery. Thus, the potent immunosuppressant dammarane triterpenoid 36 was discovered because of epidemiological correlations between the incidence of cancer and the consumption of Palmyrah flour (Borassus flabellifer), a staple for Sri Lankan Tamils.97...

The optimization of the mechanical behavior of palmyra (Borassus flabellifer) waste fibers composites was reported when these fibers were used in hybrid composites with glass fibers [84]. The hybrid composites were prepared with a total fiber weight of 60%, and with glass fibers as the outer layers. The mechanical properties increased with the amount of glass fibers, and, for a particular amount of glass fibers (7 wt%), impact strength increased with the amount of palmyra fibers.
