Plum

Plums were first cultivated by the Assyrians and were extensively hybridized by the Romans. They were introduced to Northern Europe by the crusaders. Prunes are plums that have been dried without being allowed to ferment. Numerous varieties of plums, mainly Prunus domestka, are cultivated world-wide and they are a rich source of anthocyanins in the form of cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside which are also found in peaches. They also contain significant quantities of 3-0- and 5-O-caffeoylquinic add and procyanidins with degrees of polymerization up to and greater than ten (Tomas-Barberan et al. 2001 Gu etal. 2004). Dried plums lack anthocyanins but 3-0- and 5-O-calfeoylquinic acid

Polydextrose (Pfizer) is prepared by high temperature polymerization of glucose in the presence of a catalyst. It is a water-soluble, amorphous soUd used primarily as a hulking agent (52). Dried fmit, including pmnes, and dried plum, date, and grape juice is used for similar appUcations (53). 

The other significant production method for natural benzaldehyde involves the steam distillation of bitter almond oil which has been derived from the kernels of fmit such as apricots, peaches, cherries, plums, or pmnes. The benzaldehyde product obtained in this fashion is claimed to have a superior flavor profile. The use of peach and apricot pits to produce the more profitable product laettile apparently affects the supply available to natural benzaldehyde producers. 

Iron Blue. There are three common varieties of iron blue MUoti, Chinese, and Pmssian (they are sometimes caUed toning blues). The three types differ chiefly in color, ease of dispersion, and reactivity characteristics. MUori blues are the easiest to disperse and are the least reactive. They are reddest in mass tone (plum colored) in tints, they ate intense and intermediate in redness between the Chinese and Pmssian varieties. Both the Chinese and Pmssian blues are jet in mass tone, but Pmssian blue is considerably redder and less intense in tint than Chinese blue. Because of their jet mass tones, both are used to shade blacks. Pmssian blues are the hardest to disperse and are somewhat more reactive than Chinese blues. 

Benzaldehyde Cyanohydrin. This cyanohydrin, also known as mandelonitrile [532-28-5] is a yellow, oily Hquid, insoluble in water, but soluble in alcohol and diethyl ether. Mandelonitrile is a component of the glycoside amygdalin [29883-15-6] a precursor of laetdle [1332-94-7] found in the leaves and seeds on most Prunus species (plum, peach, apricot, etc). In 1832, mandelonitrile was the first cyanohydrin to be synthesized.

The first detailed model of the atom, proposed by J. J. Thomson in 1898, was based upon the expectation that the atom was a sphere of positive electricity in which electrons were embedded like plums in a pudding. This picture of the atom was not particularly satisfying because it was not useful in predicting or explaining the chemical properties of the atom. Finally, in 1911, a series of experiments performed in the McGill University laboratory of Ernest Rutherford showed that Thomson s picture of the atom had to be abandoned. 

In areas where particular crops are grown continuously, decreases in production with time have been noted. The condition is usually species speciAc, and the disorders which result are frequently referred to as soil-sickness or replant problems. Fruit trees are especially sensitive and the problem has been encountered with apples, peaches, grapes, cherries, plums, and citrus. In most situations, phytotoxicity has been related to the formation of toxic materials as a consequence of the microbial decomposition of plant remains. 

After the first few trips around the block, the cosmopolitan dropped the basics, which included cranberry juice, and started hitting the wardrobe racks. Outfits became crucial the ginger cosmo, the plum cosmo. By 2000, there were as many cosmopolitans as Sykes or Hilton sisters. 

Nor does the Bo Hai, which is Riingo s martini. There are more cocktails out there claiming to be martinis at this point than cousins crowding a lawyer s office at the reading of a will, but the Bo Hai, which is gin and plum sake garnished with a sake-pickled plum, has a legitimate claim as an heir. 

I had three revelations in rapid order the Bo Hai is the new martini plum sake is the new vermouth and plums are the new olives. No, I hadn t been drinking. I was just getting started. 

Shake the gin and sake vigorously with ice. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with the plum.

(Mr. Moreland recommends Polish bison-grass vodka for apple martinis, for example.)...
