Download or read book Chemistry in the Garden written by James R Hanson and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to describe some aspects of the chemistry and chemical ecology which are found in the garden. In the garden there are numerous interactions between plants, the soil and with other organisms in which chemistry plays a central mediating role. The discussion concerns several of the chemically and ecologically interesting compounds that are produced by common ornamental garden plants and vegetables and by the predators that attack them. Many chemists are amateur gardeners and this book is directed at them as well as those with a general interest in the scientific processes involved in the garden.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... Mixed Manures and Horticultural Manures.-- No gardener in possession of this little book should fail to comprehend the significance of the following facts: -- 1. The manurial requirements of plants vary greatly in themselves, and are further complicated by the state of fertility of the soil. One hard and fast mixture cannot be used satisfactorily for the varied needs of the garden. 2. The composition of proprietary manures is frequently unknown to the buyer, and the effects produced by their use cannot be referred to a definite and rational cause. 3. Some of the advertised garden manures are gross frauds, and at the best the buyer gets no protection from such a risk. 4. Careful analyses of twelve of the most widely advertised garden manures (made at the SouthEastern Agricultural College, Kent, and published by Mr. A. D. Hall, M.A., in the Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, August, 1897) have shown that these manures, with a single honourable exception, are sold at prices varying from three to six times their practical value. 5. If the generality of garden workers begin to manure their plants rationally with manures of known composition and purchased separately, so large a mass of sound practical information will soon be forthcoming, that the much needed light will be thrown on many doubtful points of garden manuring. How to Estimate the Value of Manures.-- We have already referred to the "unit system " as a ready means of deciding the relative cheapness of nitrate and sulphate of ammonia. We will now apply the same method of calculation to the mixed manure. The following six constituents of a manure are recognised in analysis: -- Soluble nitrogen. Insoluble or organic nitrogen. Soluble phosphate. Insoluble phosphate....

Book Synopsis The Constituents of Medicinal Plants by : Andrew Pengelly
Download or read book The Constituents of Medicinal Plants written by Andrew Pengelly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pengelly's user friendly text will encourage educators in medical science to consider using this material in the complementary medicine/nutraceuticals areas May I congratulate Andrew Pengelly for writing this text as it is going to be very popular with undergraduate students as well as more experienced readers.' D. Green, London Metropolitan University, UK This unique book explains in simple terms the commonly occurring chemical constituents of medicinal plants. The major classes of plant constituents such as phenols, terpenes and polysaccharides, are described both in terms of their chemical structures and their pharmacological activities. Identifying specific chemical compounds provides insights into traditional and clinical use of these herbs, as well as potential for adverse reactions. Features include: * Over 100 diagrams of chemical structures * References to original research studies and clinical trials * References to plants commonly used throughout Europe, North America and Australasia. Written by an experienced herbal practitioner, The Constituents of Medicinal Plants seriously challenges any suggestion that herbal medicine remains untested and unproven, including as it does hundreds of references to original research studies and trials. Designed as an undergraduate text, the first edition of this book became an essential desktop reference for health practitioners, lecturers, researchers, producers and anyone with an interest in how medicinal herbs work. This edition has been extensively revised to incorporate up-to-date research and additional sections, including an expanded introduction to plant molecular structures, and is destined to become a classic in the literature of herbal medicine.

Book Synopsis Chemistry in the Kitchen Garden by : James R Hanson
Download or read book Chemistry in the Kitchen Garden written by James R Hanson and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade there has been a resurgence of interest in growing fruit and vegetables in the garden and on the allotment. Part of the driving force behind this is an increased awareness of the health benefits that can be derived from fruit and vegetables in the diet. The 'five helpings a day' dictum reflects the correlation between a regular consumption of fruit and vegetables and a reduced incidence of, for example, cardiovascular disease and some cancers. Growing your own vegetables provides the opportunity to harvest them at their peak, to minimize the time for post-harvest deterioration prior to consumption and to reduce their 'food miles'. It also provides an opportunity to grow interesting and less common cultivars. The combination of economic advantages and recreational factors add to the pleasure of growing fruit and vegetables. This book covers the natural products that have been identified in common 'home-grown' fruit and vegetables and which contribute to their organoleptic and beneficial properties. Over the last fifty years the immense advances in separation methods and spectroscopic techniques for structure elucidation have led to the identification of a wide range of natural products in fruit and vegetables. Not only have many of their beneficial properties been recognized but also their ecological roles in the development of plants have been identified. The functional role of many of these natural products is to mediate the balance between an organism and its environment in terms of microbial, herbivore or plant to plant interactions. The book is aimed at readers with a chemical background who wish to know a little more about the natural products that they are eating, their beneficial effects, and the roles that these compounds have in nature. Developments in the understanding of the ecological and beneficial chemistry of fruit and vegetables have made the exploration of their chemical diversity a fascinating and expanding area of natural product chemistry and readers will obtain some 'taste' for this chemistry from the book. It develops in more detail the relevant sections from the earlier RSC book 'Chemistry in the Garden'. The book begins with an outline of the major groups of compound that are found in fruit and vegetables. This is followed by a description of aspects of environmental chemistry that contribute to the successful cultivation of these crops. Subsequent chapters deal with individual plants which are grouped in terms of the part of the plant, roots, bulbs and stems, leaves, seeds, that are used for food. The final chapters deal with fruit and herbs. The epilogue considers some general aspects of ecological chemistry and climatic stress which may, in the future, affect the growth of fruit and vegetables in the garden particularly in the context of potential climate changes. The book concludes with a section on further reading, a glossary of terms used in plant chemistry and a list of the common fruit and vegetables grouped in their plant families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fungi occupy an important place in the natural world, as non-photosynthetic organisms, they obtain their nutrients from the degradation of organic material. They use many of their secondary metabolites to secure a place in a competitive natural environment and to protect themselves from predation. The diverse structures, biosyntheses and biological activities of fungal metabolites have attracted chemists for many years. Fungi are ubiquitous and their activities affect many aspects of our daily lives whether it be as sources of pharmaceuticals and food or as spoilage organisms and the causes of.
