Isolates from Indian tobacco Q obelia inflata L.), as a cmde mixture of bases, have been recognized as expectorants. The same (or similar) fractions were also used both in the treatment of asthma and as emetics. The principal alkaloid in T. inflata is lobeline (49), an optically active tertiary amine which, unusual among alkaloids, is reported to readily undergo mutarotation, a process normally associated with sugars. Interestingly, it appears that the aryl-bearing side chains in (49) are derived from phenylalanine (25, R = H) (40).

Instantisation, in which the fluidized bed is responsible for a significant change to the structure and size of the granules, should not be confused with the use of an integrated fluidized bed drier immediately following spray drying. There are many descriptions in the literature of such processes a recent example of a novel application of this technique (Jha et al, 2002) is in the production of a shelf-stable powdered kheer mix, an Indian dessert which consists of a sweetened mixture of cooked partially concentrated milk and rice flour. This is spray dried, the particles are then dried in a fluidized bed and finally dry blended with sugar. 

Sugar cane wax is an interesting by-product of the sugar industry and one which has for the most part been neglected. It occurs in the so-called factory mud, which is usually discarded. It has been shown, however, that extraction of the wax is possible and that the product can be resolved into a fatty substance and a wax proper. The mud is extracted with benzene and the crude wax resolved into a pure wax and a fatty portion which is soluble in cold acetone. Indian workers have preferred to use an initial extraction with petroleum ether and to purify the extract by treatment with nitric acid. Alternatively the wax may be extracted directly from the expressed juice before the latter is processed for sucrose manufacture. The wax is of good quality approaching that...

Indian work has tended to support the claims of increased sugar production, approximating 0.5% of sucrose on cane tonnage, from applications of (2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid of from 0.025 lb. per acre to 3 lb. or more per acre, on different varieties, autumn- and spring-planted cane,... 

Sessions were usually held at the apartment of one of the three core members whom we interviewed. When the group first formed, ritual played an important part in the taking of LSD. Elaborate ceremony was planned around its ingestion, one such move being to dissolve the sugar cubes in a "common vessel" of tea to be passed among the members. A cornucopia for "natural" foods, and objects such as shells and driftwood, was often placed in the middle of the room candles and incense were lit, poetry or psychedelic literature read, and Indian music played.
