Photoreactions on ZnO powder in aqueous suspension and in contact with gases have often been studied during the last few decades, and only a few aspects of this work are reviewed here. For example, nitrous oxide and methyl iodide were found to decompose when brought into contact at 20 °C with the illuminated surface of ZnO and nitrate, indigo carmine and p-nitrosodimethylaniline were found to be reduced in aqueous suspensions ZnO is of special interest as it is one of the standard electrode materials in conventional semiconductor electrochemistry and photo-electrochemistry Colloidal ZnO has not been available until recently. It... 

It was stated that the chromatographic analysis of the flavonoid profde may help the determination of taxonomic relationships between these species [125], The optimization of the separation of flavonoid glycosides of Mentha piperita (Laminaceae) was carried out on silica, amino, cyano and C18 HPTLC statinoary phases. The investigation was motivated by the spasmolytic, carminative and cholagogue characteristics of the plant. Air-dried and powdered leaves of peppermint (300 g) were extracted with methanol-water 1 1 v/v at ambient temperature. The suspension was filtered, concentrated to 200 ml acidified to pH 3 with formic acid and separated in an ODS column (400 X 40 mm i.d. particle size 40 pm).

The colouring matter of cochineal, precipitated from its solution by means of a weak acid or an acid salt (alum), constitutes cochineal carmine or carmine proper. This colour is sold in red powder, small cakes or lozenges. 

As a carminative in digestive and intestinal pains, and as a stimulant in colds and amenorrhea resulting therefrom. An infusion of 1/2 ounce of the powdered rhizome to 1 pint boiling water is taken hot for stimulative purposes, and blood warm as a carminative. Dose of the dry powder, 20 to 30 grains. 

Cloves are best used whole. The flavour deteriorates quickly once it is powdered. Whole and ground cloves are used to enhance the flavour of meat and rice dishes. They are used widely in curry powders and masalas. In North Indian cuisine, cloves are used in almost every sauce or side dish made, mostly mixed with other spices. In South India, they find extensive use in biriyanis to enhance the flavour of the rice. They are highly valued in medicine as a carminative and stimulant. Cloves are said to be a natural anthelmintic. 

Nutmeg is used more commonly in Oriental medicine than in Western medicine. Medicinally, it is known for its stimulative and carminative properties. The seeds are carminative, stomachic, astringent, deodorant, narcotic and aphrodisiac, and useful in flatulence, nausea and vomiting. The antioxidant property of nutmeg was reviewed by Krishnamoorthy and Rema (2000). Both nutmeg and mace are used in the pharmaceutical industries. Powdered nutmeg is rarely administered alone, but it enters into the composition of numerous medicines as aromatic adjuncts. 

The oil of cumin is an essential part of kum-mel liqueur and German baked goods it is also used in perfumery. In medicine, it is used as a stimulant, an antispasmodic and a carminative. It is used mainly as a seasoning in curry powders, soups, stews, sausages, cheeses, pickles, meats and chutneys (Farrell, 1985). 

M. koenigii (Linn), commonly known as the curry leaf plant, is highly valued for its characteristic aroma and medicinal properties. Its leaves are used extensively for culinary purposes, especially in curries and chut-neys, but also in vegetable, fish and meat dishes, pickles, buttermilk preparations, curry powder blends, etc. The major volatile components in curry leaf are a-pinene, 3-caryophyllene, (Ii)-P-ocimene, linalool and P-phellandrene. M. koenigii is a rich source of carbazole alkaloids. Its leaves, roots and bark are a tonic, stomachic and carminative. It is shown to possess a hypo-cholesterol effect and many other health benefits. The crop promises great scope in various biochemical and industrial applications in the future. 

Carmine occurs as bright red, friable pieces or as a dark red powder. It is the aluminum or the calcium-aluminum lake, on an aluminum hydroxide substrate, of the coloring principles obtained by an aqueous extraction of cochineal. Cochineal consists of the dried female insects Dactylopius coccus costa (Coccus cacti L.), enclosing young larvae the coloring principles thus derived consist mainly of carminic acid (C22H20O13). It is soluble in alkali solutions, slightly soluble in hot water, and practically insoluble in cold water and in dilute acids.

Properties.—An aqueous solution of sodium nitroprusside deposits Prussian blue on exposure to light. In the presence of alkali sulphides— as, for example, ammonium sulphide—it yields a beautiful purple colour, which is very characteristic, and so sensitive that the presence of 0 0000018 gram of hydrogen sulphide in 0 004 c.c. can easily be detected.2 Ammonium hydroxide does not hinder the colour formation, but caustic alkalies destroy it. It gradually fades on standing, in consequence of oxidation of the sulphide to sulphite. The composition of the purple substance is uncertain, but Hofmann 3 suggests the formula Na3[Fe(CN)5(0 N.SNa)], since, by the action of thio-urea, CS(NH2)2, upon sodium nitroprusside, he obtained the complex derivative Na3[Fe(CN)5(0 N.SCNH.NH2)], as a carmine-red powder, closely similar to the substance under discussion.4...
