Southeastern Asia

For some time worldwide a systematic and large expansion of vegetable oil production has been occurring, especially in southeastern Asia in 1990 the consumption of fats amounted to about 80 million tons. Eighty percent was used as food, 6% as feed, but 14%—more than 14 million metric tons—was used for industrial purposes. By the year 2000 the world fat production will have risen to over 100 million tons [3]. Also, in the future the oleo chemistry will have a broad and reliable raw materials basis. Tables 3 and 4 give information on the present and future production of important fats and fatty oils and the composition of the fatty acid mixtures that can be derived from these fats. [Pg.3]

Until comparatively recently, Datiscaceae were thought by some taxonomists (e.g., Cronquist, 1981), to consist of four species in three genera, the monospecific Octomeles (0. sumatrana Miq.) and Tetrameles (T. niidiflora R. Br. ex Benn.) and Datisca. Octomeles and Tetrameles are large trees native to southeastern Asia Datisca consists of D. cannabina L., which occurs from southwestern Asia to Crete, and D. glomerata (Presl) Bail ., which occurs in California and northern Baja California, Mexico. [Pg.173]

The composition of fine particles varies from region to region, depending on the precursor emissions. In the northeastern USA, central Europe, and southeastern Asia, more than half of the composition is made up of sulphate particles, due to the combustion of high-sulphur coal and oil. The rest is made up of nitrate particles, carbonaceous material (elemental and organic carbon), and crustal matter (fugitive particles from soil, clay, and rock erosion). [Pg.159]

He decided that the material the world needed most was a synthetic shellac to replace the natural shellac produced from the resinous secretions of the lac beetle native to southeastern Asia. At the time, shellac was the optimal insulator for electrical wires. Ever since Edison s 1879 invention of the incandescent lightbulb, miles of shellac-coated metal wire were being stretched across the land. The supply of shellac, however, was unable to keep up with demand. [Pg.615]

Cassileritc is heavily concentrated in bands and layers of varying thickness, forming economically valuable deposits, such ns those found in the Malay Stales of southeastern Asia Bolivia. Nigeria, and the Congo are also major producers of tin ore. Cassiieriie is also known as tin stone. [Pg.301]

Little used today is Dragon s blood, an oleoresin obtained from the fruits of Daemonorops draco, a native palm of southeastern Asia and the Molucca Islands The resins exudes from the surface of the ripening fruits. It is removed from them by boiling in water, The resin is then moulded into balls or long sticks. It is sometimes used in making varnishes and lacquers. [Pg.1438]

The genera Mitragyna and Ourouparia (Uncaria) (Rubiaceae) flourish in widely distributed tropical and subtropical regions. Several Mitragyna species that are large trees indigenous to West Africa, Southeastern Asia, and the Philippines find commercial use in the timber and paper industries. The leaves of M. speciosa Korth. are chewed as a narcotic in Siam, and, in common with leaves of M. parvifolia Korth., enjoy an undeserved reputation as a cure for opium addiction. In West Africa the bark of M. africana Korth. is used as a febrifuge. [Pg.59]

A series of papers have discussed the impact of the Southeastern Asia fires on the composition and chemistry of the atmosphere (Fujiwara et al., 1999 Hauglustaine et al., 1999 Matsueda and Inoue, 1999 Nakajima et al., 1999 Rinsland et al., 1999 Sawa et al., 1999 Tsutsumi et al., 1999). The results of these studies are summarized below. [Pg.2068]

Mexico, Colombia, Australia, and even Southeastern Asia. It is usualy found growing on or near cow dung in pastures during warm rainy periods from February to November. There are several species of mushroom which occur on cow dung, but fortunately none of these bear much resemblance to the San Ysidro. [Pg.3]

Isoprenoids with more than eight isoprene units are classified as polyterpenes Natural rubber (caoutchouc), formerly an important raw material for the rubber industry, is primarily obtained by coagulating the milk juice (latex) of Hevea bra-siliensis (Euphorbiaceae) growing in the Amazonian area of Brazil and southeastern Asia. It consists essentially of c -polyisoprene. The milky juice is an emulsion of this polyterpene in water stabilized by proteins as protecting colloids. [Pg.115]
