Tamarind Gum. Tamarind gum [39386-78-9] is another seed gum with potential industrial appHcation. It is obtained from the seed kernels of the tamarind tree, Tamarindus indica which is cultivated in India and Bangladesh. The seeds are a by-product from the production of tamarind pulp which is used as a food flavor. Seed production is 150,000 t/yr. 

Contraction in the number of EPA-allowed biocides has heightened efforts to develop naturally derived preservatives and microorganisms capable of countering microbial degradation. Neem oil A. dirachta indica seed extract) has been featured as an exceptional natural candidate for the preservation of cosmetic products. Naturally derived chemicals with antimicrobial properties have been used since antiquity as preservatives. However, displacement of successhil synthetic products by natural products in preservatives of any category remains to be witnessed. 

Although root nodules are the most common sites of N2-fixiag symbioses, some tropical legumes like Sesbania produce stem nodules ia associatioa Jp rhi bium caulinodans (55). la coatrast to root aodules, some stem aodules are photosyathetic and contain, ia the case oiPieschjnomene indica rhizobia themselves capable of photosyathesis (56). This close relatioaship of photosyathesis to fixatioa may ease the eaergy supply demand of nodules. 

Even higher organisms can be used for the production of labeled compounds. Plants, tobacco, or Canna indica for example, when grown in an exclusive atmosphere of radioactive carbon dioxide, [ 002], utilize the labeled precursor as the sole source of carbon for photosynthesis. After a suitable period of growth, almost every carbon atom in the plant is radioactive. Thus, plants can serve as an available source of C-labeled carbohydrates (9). 

The AC component of the modulator/demodulator output is an indica tion of dynamic motion, or vibration. This signal provides data relating to the peak-to-peak amplitude, frequency, and form of the dynamic action of the observed surface. 

The Aristolochias are used in medicine as tonics due to the presence of bitter principles, though Hesse suggested that A. reticulata Nutt, then the serpentary root of commerce, might contain aristolochine, and the view that the bitter constituents are of alkaloidal character has been confirmed by Krishnaswamy, Manjunath and Rao, for A. indica L.

A sesquiterpene has been isolated from the essential oil of Cannabis Indica. This may fairly be considered a definite body, as it has been isolated by many different observers and described by them at different times. Valenta first mentions it. Vignolo describes it as a mobile liquid boiling at 256°, of specific gravity -897 at 15°, and slightly laevo-rotatory. Wood, Spivey, and Easterfield give the boiling-point as 258° to 259°, the specific gravity as -898 at 18°, and the rotation as - 8-6°. 

Aziridine 269 (Scheme 3.98), on treatment with pyrazole (270) and subsequent TFA deprotection, gave P-pyrazolylalanine 271, first isolated from Citrullus vulgaris (a water melon) and isosteric with histidine [148]. Treatment of 269 with 1,2,4-ox-adiazolidine-3,5-dione 272 gave (S)-quisqualic acid (273), an active ingredient of the ancient Chinese drug Shihchuntze, an anthelmintic made from the seeds of Quisqualis indica [148]. 

Arabinogalactans (AGs) are widely spread throughout the plant kingdom. Many edible and inedible plants are rich sources of these polysaccharides. AGs occur in two structurally different forms described as type I and type II, associated with the pectin cell-wall component by physical bonds and some of them are covalently linked to the complex pectin molecule as neutral side chains. Commercial pectins always contain AG 10-15%). AG of type I has a linear (1 4)-y0-o-Galp backbone, bearing 20-40% of of-L-Ara/ residues (1 5)-linked in short chains, in general at position 3. It is commonly found in pectins from citrus, apple and potato [6]. Recently, this AG type has been isolated from the skin of Opuntia ficus indica pear fruits [372]. 

Mango fruits (Mangifera indica) were kept in carton boxes whose top surface was covered with either chitosan film or with low-density polyethylene (positive control) and stored at room temperature (27 1 °C at 65% RH). The CO2 and O2 levels measured on day 3 were 23-26% and 3-6%, and at the...

As for anthocyanins, betalains are found in vacuoles and cytosols of plant cells. From the various natural sources of betalains, beetroot (Beta vulgaris) and prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) are the only edible sources of these compounds. In the food industry, betalains are less commonly used as natural colorants from plant sources than anthocyanins and carotenoids, probably related to their more restricted distribution in nature. To date, red beetroot is the only betalain source exploited for use as a natural food coloring agent. The major betalain in red beetroot is betanin (or betanidin 5-0-P-glucoside). Prickly pear fruits contain mainly (purple-red) betanin and (yellow-orange) indicaxanthin and the color of these fruits is directly related to the betanin-to-indicaxanthin ratio (99 to 1, 1 to 8, and 2 to 1, respectively in white, yellow, and red fruits)." ...
