Lemon and Lime Juice. Lemons and Persian limes can be extracted using the same PMC and AMC extractors described above. The juice can be concentrated in a TASTE evaporator, an APV Crepaco, Inc. evaporator, or other types of evaporators (13). Although lime juice, and especially lemon juice, are widely used as condiments on food, the bulk of concentrated juice is used to make frozen concentrated lemonade and limeade. Prozen... [Pg.571]

With the exception of peanuts, most of the important nuts from around the world are home on trees, many of them from native seedlings. Among the latter group are the beechnut, Bra2il nut, butternut, chestnut, filbert, hickory nut, pecan, pine nut, and black walnut. The pecan, Knglish walnut, filbert, and almond are the four principal edible tree nuts produced in the United States, where the term Knglish walnut is used synonymously with the Persian or Carpathian walnut (2). [Pg.269]

English or Persian Walnuts. Walnuts are produced in more countries than any of the other tree nuts but production figures are unrehable. The United States is the leading producer of walnuts, at 234,913 t in 1990—1991 (valued at 279,720,000). Production, mostly in Califomia and Oregon, is nearly one-half of the world total. Many countries produce substantial quantities of walnuts. The USDA considers estimates of the commercial crop more rehable than the total yearly production figures, which in 1990—1991 were 152,500 t in China, 66,000 t in Turkey, 17,000 t in India, 13,000 t in Prance, and 12,000 t in Italy. Walnuts, both in-sheU and shelled, may be imported from many countries, eg. Prance, Italy, China, Turkey, and India. Most imported walnuts are smaller than domestic walnuts and are used by the confectionery and baking industries. [Pg.280]

Lime Oil. This oil is obtained from the fmit Citrus aurantijolia Swingle the Key, Mexican, or West Indian lime or C latijolia Tanaka, the Persian lime, either by steam distillation or expression. Either the entire cmshed fmit or only the peel may be used, depending on the specific properties desired. A typical commercial distilled lime oil contains the constituents shown in Table 10 (25). [Pg.307]

The exacting Hst of specification requirements for aviation gas turbine fuels and the constraints imposed by deUvering clean fuel safely from refinery to aircraft are the factors that affect the economics. Compared with other distillates such as diesel and burner fuels, kerosene jet fuels are narrow-cut specialized products, and usually command a premium price over other distillates. The prices charged for jet fuels tend to escalate with the basic price of cmde, a factor which seriously underrnined airline profits during the Persian Gulf war as cmde prices increased sharply. [Pg.417]

In some of his work, Pliny the Elder (24—79 Ad) wrote of the heating of wine with flames. In the tenth century, the Persian philosopher Avicenna (980—1037 ad) described a distillation stUl. Magister Salemus wrote about "aqua ardens" around 1150 AD. The German alchemist and philosopher, Albertus Magnus (1200—1280 ad), studied wine distillation, made improvements, and wrote a manuscript on the production of aqua ardens. [Pg.78]

Juglone [481-39-0] (Cl Natural Brown 7 Cl 75500) was isolated from the husks of walnuts in 1856 (50). Juglone belongs to the Juglandaceae family of which there are a number of species Jug/ans cinerea (butter nuts), J. regia (Persian walnuts), and J. nigra (black walnuts). Persian walnuts were known to the ancient Romans who brought them over from Asia Minor to Europe. As early as 1664, the American colonists knew how to extract the brown dye from the nuts of the black walnut and butternut trees, both native to eastern North America (51). [Pg.397]

The amount of morphine in commercial opium varies from 3 to 25 per cent. In Macedonian and Turkey opiums the pereentage is usually 15 to 21, and in the Persian drug 10 to 12. Indian opium, as prepared for smoking, may eontain 4 to 6 per cent., but as exported for the manu-... [Pg.178]

There are a number of factors that favor the use of natural polymers as a source for polymer production. The concerns of environmental pollution, tensions in the Persian Gulf countries regarding oil, the fear of a possible future depletion of oil, etc., give credence to the move toward a bio-based material policy [8,21]. The... [Pg.411]

All of the world s major economies, as well as scores of smaller, low-income nations, rely mainly on hydrocarbons. Crude oil now supplies two-fifths of the world s primary energy (Table 1). There are distinct consumption patterns in the shares of light and hea vy oil products the United States burns more than 40 percent of all its liquid fuels as gasoline, Japan just a fifth and the residual fuel oil accounts for nearly a third of Japanese use, but for less than 3 percent of the U.S. total. Small countries of the Persian Gulf have the highest per capita oil consumption (more than 5 t a year in the United Arab Emirates and in Qatar) the U.S. rate is more than 2.5 t a year European means arc around 1 t China s mean is about 120 kg, and sub-Saharan Africa is well below 100 kg per capita. [Pg.568]

Gulf war syndrome (GWS) is the name given to a variety of psychological and physical symptoms suffered by veterans of the 1991 Persian Gulf War. The symptoms have been remarkably wide-ranging, sometimes somewhat ill-defined. These symptoms were inteipreted to reflect exposure to centrally acting anti-AChEs. [Pg.360]

I think it was worthwhile to take a specific case to show that conclusion. Its major purpose is to make Popperian logic and Kuhn s unpredictable circle of normal science, crisis, and revolution better known among chemists and to show how both theories - those of Popper and Kuhn - commingle in the development of scientific discoveries. A third phenomenon should also be mentioned, although it did not play a role in our specific case, namely serendipity, i. e., the gift of making valuable discoveries not sought for. The word serendipity was coined by the British writer Horace Walpole in a letter in 1754 based on the title of the Persian fairy-tale The... [Pg.217]
