Fruit kernels

The fresh fruit kernels or seeds were peeled and treated in the same manner. 

Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill. Wu Wei Zi (Chinese magnolia vine) (fruit, kernel) Schizandrin, deoxyschizandrin, schizandrol, schizandrer.8-33 Antitussive, a tonic. A tendency to lower SGPT caused by hepatitis. 

Cyanide in trace amounts is found in a large number of plants, mainly in the form of substituted glycosides. Affected plants include grasses, fruit kernels, pulses, linseed and cassava. 

There are also natural products that contain cyanide, for example the plant cassava (see pp. 255-6) and various fruit kernels such as almonds, apricots, and apples. Oil of bitter almonds, which is used in cooking, contains enough cyanide to be lethal, and people have committed suicide by drinking it. 

Hydrogen Cyanide and Its Salts. Hydrogen cyanide, HCN (structural formula H—-Ce==N I), is a gas which dissolves in water and acts as a very weak acid. It is made by treating a cyanide, such as potassium cyanide, KCN, with sulfuric acid, and is used as a fumigant and rat poison. It smells like bitter almonds and crushed fruit kernels, which in fact owe their odor to it. Hydrogen cyanide and its salts are very poisonous. 

Benzaldehyde is the second most important material after vanillin. It is used as an ingredient in cherry and other natural fruit flavors in the flavor industry. Natural benzaldehyde is generally extracted from fruit kernels such as apricots. Nowadays, the fermentation of natural substrates such as phenylalanine offers an alternative route for the biosynthesis of natural benzaldehyde (Moller et al., 1998). However, production via the fermentation process will become commercially acceptable only if sufficient yields can be obtained, which has been difficult until now. 

Rose hip, Cynosbati fructus, is the dried flower bottom of Rosa canina L., family Ro-saceae, deprived of the hairy fruits ( kernels ) from the inside of the drug. The drug contains at least 1% ascorbic acid, and also carotenoids and flavonoids with vitamin P-ef-fect. Rose hips are still used as a vitamin C source in vitamin preparations.

Activated carbons available in the market differ in pore distribution, in form and in chemical composition. The differences between activated carbon types are a consequence of the choice of activation process, the choice of activation conditions and to some extend of the choice of the raw material. Activated carbons are produced using raw materials as peat, wood, lignite, anthracite, fruit, kernels and shells. The raw materials are converted in activated carbon by steam activation or by chemical activation.

A black pigment has been produced historically by thermal decomposition of various fruit kernels such as those from peach (Prunus persica), cherry Pruniis spp.), date (Phoenix dactyliferd), almond (Prunus amygdalus), walnut (Juglans spp.), coconut (Cocos nucifera) and so forth. BotanicaJly most of these are what are known as drupes - fleshy fruit that develop from either one or...

The fruits, kernel and leaves of loquat are all used for medicinal purpose. The leaf of loquat is a well known Traditional Chinese Medicine used as anti-tussive and anti-inflammatory agent for acute and chronic bronchitis. Phytochemical studies 1-5) with this species have led to the isolation of many natural products including flavonoids, triterpenes and sesquiterpene glycoside. Some of the components have been found to have antioxidant (2), antiviral (4), cytotoxic (/) and hypoglycemic (5) properties. In the course of ongoing search for anti-tussive and anti-inflammatory components from this plant, an ethanolic extract of the leaves of . japonica was examined. We report here the isolation and structural determination of three new components as well as seventeen known compounds.
