Jute. Jute fiber is obtained from two herbaceous aimual plants, Corchorus capsularis (linden family, TiUaceae) originating from Asia, and C. olitorius originating from Africa. The former has a round seed pod, and the latter a long pod. Jute is grown mainly in India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Nepal, and Bra2il. [Pg.361]

Jibutilon theophrasti is a herbaceous annual plant produciag a jute-like fiber. The plant is native to the People s RepubHc of China and is commercially grown ia China and the former USSR. Because of its association with jute ia mixtures and export, it is also called China jute. The plant grows to a height of 3—6 m with a stem diameter of 6—16 mm. After harvesting by hand and defoHation, bundles of the stems are water retted and the fiber is extracted by methods similar to those for jute. The fiber is used for twiae and ropes. [Pg.362]

Metal Organics and Inorganics. The metal organic herbicides are arsenicals used for the selective, post-emergence control of grass and broadleaved weeds in cropland and noncroplands. These herbicides are particularly usehil for weed control in cotton and turf crops (2,296,294). CacodyUc acid is a contact herbicide used for nonselective weed control in cropland and noncropland (299). Ammonium sulfamate [7773-06-0] (AMS) is an inorganic herbicide used for control of woody plants and herbaceous perennials (2). [Pg.54]

Patchouli alcohol. Patchouli oil comes from Pogostemonpatchouli and the main constituent is patchouli alcohol [5986-55-0] (105) or patchoulol. Another component of the essential oil is norpatchoulenol (106), a norsesquiterpene derivative as a minor (3—5%) constituent, important ia determining the overall odor of the essential oil (197). The price of patchouli oil ia 1995 was 20.90/kg from Indonesia (69). Alarge proportion of the oil (40—60%) is comprised of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons that do not have much odor value. World production of the oil was at about 750 t ia 1984. It is valuable ia perfumery bases because of its characteristic woody, herbaceous odor (198). [Pg.429]

The alkaloid Nigellicine proved to be the pyridazino[l,2-u]indazolium-l 1-carboxylate (234) and forms yellow crystals (Scheme 77). It was isolated from the widely distributed herbaceous plant Nigella saliva L., which is used as a spice and for the treatment of various diseases (85TL2759). The structure was determined by an X-ray crystal structure analysis. The carboxylate bond distances are essentially equal (123.3 and 125.6 pm). An intramolecular hydrogen bond was found between the carboxylate oxygen atom and the hydroxy group. In mass spectrometry, the molecular peak was found at mjz —246 (20) and the base peak at mjz —202 which corresponds... [Pg.134]

It was the first cocktail in what Mr. Adams called a collection of herbaceous drinks, a line including thyme, basil, tarragon and rosemary cocktails that are featured in a separate section on a spedalty-drink menu. [Pg.188]

Xylan-type polysaccharides are the main hemicellulose components of secondary cell walls constituting about 20-30% of the biomass of dicotyl plants (hardwoods and herbaceous plants). In some tissues of monocotyl plants (grasses and cereals) xylans occur up to 50% [6j. Xylans are thus available in huge and replenishable amoimts as by-products from forestry, the agriculture, wood, and pulp and paper industries. Nowadays, xylans of some seaweed represent a novel biopolymer resource [4j. The diversity and complexity of xylans suggest that many useful by-products can be potentially produced and, therefore, these polysaccharides are considered as possible biopolymer raw materials for various exploitations. As a renewable resource, xylans are... [Pg.5]

Four different European herbaceous plants have also been tested for possible mitogenic and comitogenic activities. Using Zymosan as a positive control, all polysaccharide fractions tested had higher activity in the bioassays... [Pg.97]

Land use changes in the tropics have resulted in a landscape characterized as a mosaic of logged forests, cleared fields, and successional forests. This results in the transformation from extremely fire resistant rainforest ecosystems to anthropogenic landscapes in which fire is a common event (16, 17), Fires occur in disturbed tropical forests because deforestation has a dramatic effect on microclimate. Deforestation results in lower relative humidities, increased wind speeds, and increased air temperatures. In addition, deforestation results in increased quantities of biomass that are susceptible to fire. This biomass may be in the form of forest slash, leaf litter, grasses, lianas or herbaceous species (16, 18). [Pg.427]
