| Abstract: | Fuel-
In Indian villages agricultural wastes are mixed
with cow-dung and fuel is prepared for cooking and heating purposes.
To combat fuelwood scarcity and deforestation problem
various programmes are being developed throughout the world. Fuel
briquette technology is in use in many countries and
is found to be viable and cost-effective method of making fuel from
agricultural waste.
Gum- In middle aged persons
and sometimes in young also, chronic colitis results into lower abdominal pain,
bleeding from rectum with diarrhoea and some related problems.
Insecticide/Pesticide- The seeds and bark of Samadera
indica Gaertn. are used in medicine
for fever and
skin diseases but the insect antifeedant growth
regulating activities against agricultural pests are
not yet reported.
Livestock- To maintain softness of meat, proteolytic
enzymes like papain, ficin and some fungal enzymes have been used but the
quality of the meat needed a watch. Succinylated
glycerol monostearate (SGMS) is an approved food additive and is also used
as a dough conditioner in
bread making.
