The diterpenoid alkaloids, isolated mainly from Aconitum and Delphinium species (Ranunculaceae), have been of great interest since the early 1800s because of their pharmacological properties. Extracts of Aconitum species were used in ancient times for treatment of gout, hypertension, neuralgia, rheumatism, and even toothache. Extracts have also been used as arrow poisons. Some Delphinium species are extremely toxic and constitute a serious threat to livestock in the western United States and Canada. Delphinium extracts also manifest insecticidal properties. In the last 30 to 40 years, interest in the diterpenoid alkaloids has increased because of the complex structures and interesting chemistry involved.

Guava leaves in particular have been a subject for preliminary research to identity potential antidisease properties. Extracts from leaves or bark are implicated in controlling mechanisms of cancer, bacterial infections, and inflammation. Essential oils from guava leaves have also shown anticancer activity in laboratory experiments.

As another example of properties extracted from all-electron methods, figure B3.2.9 shows the results of a PAW simulation of benzene molecules on a graphite surface. The study aimed to show the extent to which the electronic structure of the molecule is modifred by interaction with the surface, and why the images do not reflect the molecular structure. The PAW method was used to determine the structure of the molecule at the surface, the strength of the interaction between the surface and the molecules, and to predict and explain scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) images of the molecule on the surface [90] (the STM is described in section B 1.19).

Solvents are also used in food processing. The largest uses are of aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as -hexane, which are important for oil seed extraction and purifying oils good solvency and ease of separation from the extracted oils (low boiling point) are key properties. Extraction is important in many other parts of the food industry to produce, for example, flavour extracts a variety of solvents from hydrocarbon to alcohols are used in such applications, but volumes are smaller. Isopropanol is used to extract fish protein from ground fish. Methylene chloride was used to extract caffeine from coffee, but has been largely superseded by liquid carbon dioxide. For all human food applications, food contact approval is vital if human consumption is involved. 

However, cellulose has an attractive combination of mechanical and thermal properties extracted from various plant sources. Extracted cellulose performs as a raw material in many packaging industry applications such as biocomposites, nanocomposites, coatings, films, etc. The process of converting cellulose to these products is quite complex. For example, to convert wood pulp to film, it rmdergoes a series of chemical processes to break the pulp down to a viscose liquid. This liquid is filtered in order to minimize waste and maximize the purity of the material to ensure the best film quality possible. The viscose is extruded and then cast along a series of rollers and baths, during which the film is cleaned and softened in order to ensure the right optical and mechanical properties. 

In a second step, all structures that have the structural properties extracted above are constructed using molecular structure generation (Section 5.1). 

Some differences appear between the final powders resulting from the two processes. The differences are confirmed by slight differences in their physicochemical properties. Extracts seem more limpid after twin-screw extmsion than those obtained after stirred reactor extraction. The sharpest difference between the xylan powders is the viscosity of the aqueuous solutions. This difference may be partly due to the protein content (table III and IV). 

The common box wood, Buxas sempervirens, has long been known for its medicinal properties extracts of the plant (23) were used against various kinds of diseases such as malaria and venereal diseases. The extract was reported to possess an antitubercular property. Steroidal amines were isolated from the plant and their structures, including cyclobuxine D and cyclomicophylline A were clarified (19,20). 

The major components of wood are cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, and many of the properties of wood are a function of this lignocellulosic network. Although extractives are a minor component, often constituting less than lO o of the wood, they contribute disproportionately to the characteristics of wood. It is extractives that give wood its color, its odor, and, to some extent, its physical properties. Extractives can have a significant influence on how wood is used. 

Extractives have various effects on other physical properties. Extractives with special characteristics, such as quinones, seriously affect the adhesive and finishing qualities of the wood (9.4.2). The nonpolar extractives with a lower oxygen content such as terpenoids, oils, fats, and waxes, affect the hydroscopicity, and permeability. This causes trouble in adhesion and finishing by the inhibition of the wetting of the wood. On the other hand, since these nonpolar extractives have high caloric value, they increase the flammability of wood and make these woods valuable as fuel.
