They are also used as a traditional remedy for treating cough, stomachache, and cancer in Asia and Europe. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 326-330 http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/12417 Title: Oil/Fats <br/> <br/>Abstract: The seed pulp of Gac, <b><i>Momordica cochinchinensis</i> Spreng.</b> ( Hindi—Gulkakra) contains high concentrations of carotenoids, especially the provitamin A, <img src='/image/spc_char/beta.gif' border=0>-carotene. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 325 http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/12415 Title: Dye and Fibre <br/> <br/>Abstract: <b>Dye</b>- Until recently, use of microwaves in textiles is restricted to drying process. Recently, some researchers have studied the feasibility of using microwaves for variety of textile processes, e.g. drying, dyeing, finishing and printing. <br><br> <b>Fibre</b>- Weeds like, <b><i>Alpinia allughas</i> Rosc.</b>, <b><i>Clinogyne dichotoma</i> Salisb.</b> and <b><i>Abelmoschus moschatus</i> Medic.</b> grow abundantly in the forests and wasteland areas of North eastern region. Scientists at Regional Research Laboratory, Jorhat studied their fibre quality and paper making properties. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 322-323 http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/12414 Title: Fuel, Insecticide/Pesticide and Oil/Fat <br/> <br/>Abstract: <b>Fuel</b>-During the last decade ethanol and biodiesel became the best-known liquid biofuels. As for diesel fuel renewable substitutes, fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) biodiesel, appear to be the most popular since its properties are similar to mineral diesel and can be used in conventional diesel engines without significant modifications. <br><br> <b>Insecticide/Pesticide</b>- <i>Aedes aegypti</i> (Linn.) is an important vector of dengue fever in India. Although source reduction through proper environmental sanitation and effective exclusion of the mosquito from water stored for domestic use can keep populations of <i>A. aegypti</i> in check, the use of insecticides is often necessary in control operations. <br><br> <b>Oil/Fat</b>- Palm oil is a rich source of vitamin E, carotenoids , tocotrienols and tocopherols which are natural antioxidants and act as scavengers of oxygen free radicals. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is a known oxidant that promotes tumourigenesis in mouse skin through the elaboration of oxidative stress. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 261-262
