Parsley (Parsley Flakes). The dried leaves of Petroselinum hortense syn. P. crispum (Mill) (UmbeUiferae), are from a hardy biennial, native to the Mediterranean region and now cultivated commercially in the United States and southern Europe. The aroma is green and the flavor is pleasant, characteristic, and nuld. Parsley is used for the seasoning of fish, meats, soups, salads, etc. Parsley seed, the dried ripe fmit of the parsley herb, has an aroma and flavor less pronounced than the leaves. [Pg.29]

Lavender Oil Spike. Also known as spike oil, lavender oil spike is obtained by steam distillation of the flowering tops of l vandula latijolia Vik., which grows wild and is also cultivated throughout the Mediterranean region, with most production in Spain and France. There was a time when spike oil, particularly Spanish lavender oil [8016-78-2] found extensive use in soap perfumery however, with the introduction of the less expensive lavandin oil, a hybrid of tme lavender (L. angustifolid) and L. latijolia, utilization of spike oil in perfumery has been reduced appreciably. French spike oil, a more dehcate version, still finds considerable use in functional and industrial perfumery. A comparison of the volatiles of a commercial Spanish oil and a... [Pg.333]

Volcanic sources of the free element are also widespread they have been of great economic importance until thi.s century but are now little used. They occur throughout the mountain ranges bordering the Pacific Ocean, and also in Iceland and the Mediterranean region, notably in T irkey, Italy and formerly also in Sicily and Spain. [Pg.647]

It is extensively cultivated in Senegal, in Teneriffe, and iu the whole of the Mediterranean regions. It ornaments numerous garden.s in Provence in the neighbour hood of Xice, and is also touch onl tivated in. Algeria where il is very widely distributed. [Pg.463]

Water, the other source of kinetic energy used in antiquity, saw wider application to machineiy than did wind. The first evidence of the use of waterpower comes from the first century B.C.E., simultaneously in both China and the Mediterranean region. In China the preferred method of tapping the power of falling water was the horizontal water wheel, named after the plane of rotation of the wheel. Around the Mediterranean, the preferred form was the vertical... [Pg.693]

This chapter summarizes climate projections presented by the recent Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the IPCC, both for the global scale and for the so-called European and Mediterranean region. Besides the IPCC projections, other results regarding the Mediterranean area will be reviewed as well. The emphasis will be mostly placed on temperature and precipitation projections, while other variables, such as wind, solar radiation, or sea level, will not be commented in depth. Some attention will be paid to methodologies used to develop projections, and the corresponding uncertainties will be commented. In general, projections will be given for the end of the current century. [Pg.6]

On the basis of results from GCM (Eig. 3) the AR4 summarizes the projected changes for the Mediterranean region (Table 1, regarding temperature changes Table 2 for precipitation), the moderate emission scenario AIB having been... [Pg.11]

Table 1 Summary of projections from the 21 models included in the MultiModd Data set, for the Mediterranean region (30°N, 10°W-48°N, 40-E) and the AIB emission scenario. Temperature differences (°C) between 2080-2099 and 1980-1999. The table shows the minimum, maximum, median (50%), and 25 and 75% quartile values. The frequency of extremely warm, averaged over the models, is also shown. From Christensen et al. [4]...

It is very likely that the mean annual precipitation will decrease in most of the Mediterranean region. The annual number of precipitation days is very likely to decrease in the Mediterranean area. [Pg.12]
