Kesesuaian Lahan Tanaman Jahe, Kencur, Kunyit, dan Serai Wangi sebagai Komoditas Agroforestri di KHDTK Gunung Bromo, Kabupaten Karanganyar (Study of Land Suitability for Ginger, Aromatic Ginger, Turmeric, and Citronella as Agroforestry Commodities at Gunung Bromo Research Forest, Karanganyar District)

Cardamom, Ginger and Turmeric

Mutagenic potential of the condiments, ginger and turmeric.

Since the early work of Kihlman and Levan (1949) which demonstrated that caffeine induces chromosomal alterations in plants, other reports are available to show that food additives, edible fats, insecticides etc. could be mutagenic (Sax and Sax 1968, Hollaender 1971, Kihlman et al. 1974). The present work was under taken to study the mutagenic effects, if any of ginger and turmeric which have b...

1-Bromo-2,7-di-tert-butyl­pyrene

In the title mol-ecule, C(24)H(25)Br, one of two tert-butyl groups is rotationally disordered between two orientations in a 0.59 (3):0.41 (3) ratio. The crystal packing exhibits no π-π inter-actions; however, relatively short inter-molecular Br⋯Br contacts of 3.654 (1) Å are observed.

4-Bromo-N-(di-n-propyl­carbamothioyl)­benzamide

The synthesis of the title compound, C(14)H(19)BrN(2)OS, involves the reaction of 4-bromo-benzoyl chloride with potassium thio-cyanate in acetone followed by condensation of the resulting 4-bromo-benzoyl isothio-cyanate with di-n-propyl-amine. Typical thio-urea carbonyl and thio-carbonyl double bonds, as well as shortened C-N bonds, are observed in the title compound. The short C-N bond lengths...

A survey of ectoparasites in Gunung Stong Forest Reserve, Kelantan, Malaysia.

A survey of ticks and other ectoparasites was carried out during a national biodiversity scientific expedition at Gunung Stong Forest Reserve, Kelantan, Malaysia from 23-29 May 2003. A total of 272 animals comprised of 12 species of birds, 21 species of bats, 7 species of rodents and 2 species of insects were examined for ticks and other ectoparasites.
