Rhubarb is one of the Chinese traditional medicines. About ninety-four compounds with five different types of skeletons (anthraquinone, anthrones, stilbenes, flavonoids and acylglucosides) have been isolated from rhubarb so far. These constituents are effective in purgative, clearing heat-fire, removing toxic materials from the body, cooling blood and promoting blood circulation. Recent studies have shown that the appropriate processing methods may directly impact on its nutraceutical activities and chemical compositions. Here, we summarize the update progress in the chemical compositions, pharmacological activities and processing methods of rhubarb.

L’insuffisance des ressources fourragères naturelles constitue une contrainte majeure au développement de l’élevage des ruminants dans le Centre et Nord bassin arachidier sénégalais. Pour y faire face, il faut recourir à des techniques telles que la culture fourragère. L’objectif est donc d’étudier la production de fourrage de Mucuna pruriens dans la zone et de déterminer sa valeur nutritive. Du fourrage frais de 79-84 jours et des foins de 60, 75 et 90 jours ont été produits. Les rendements ont été mesurés, les fourrages analysés, les compostions chimiques et les valeurs nutritives déterminées. Les rendements sont globalement faibles, 1,16 à 1,50 t MS/ ha, mais comparables à certains rapportés dans la littérature. Le fourrage frais est plus riche en protéines brutes que les foins, soit 19,56 contre 14,16 à 18,65% de la MS, moins fibreux, soit 27,26 contre 33,82 à 35,27% de la MS et plus nutritif, soit 150,65 contre 96,60 à 141,48 g/ kg MS de protéine brute digestible et 0,70 contre 0,67 à 0,69 UF/ kg MS. Parmi les foins, celui de 75 jours offre un léger avantage. En définitive, cette culture reste possible dans cette zone et peut y être préconisée en vue d’une atténuation du déficit fourrager.

DC. var. utilis (Wall. ex Wight) Baker ex Burck) cv. Ghana cultivated in the Center and North senegalese groundnut basin The insufficiency of natural fodder resources constitutes a major constraint to the development of ruminant farming in the Central and Northern senegalese groundnut basin. To deal with this, techniques such as forage cultivation must be used. The objective is therefore to study the forage production of Mucuna pruriens in the area and determine its nutritional value. Fresh forage of 79-84 days and hay of 60, 75 and 90 days were produced. Yields were measured, forages analyzed, chemical compositions and nutrient values determined. Yields are generally low, 1.16 to 1.50 t DM / ha, but comparable to some reported in the literature. Fresh forage is richer in crude protein than hay, 19.56 against 14.16 to 18.65% DM, less fibrous, 27.26 against 33.82 to35.27% DM and more nutritious, 150.65 against 96.60 to 141.48 g/kg DM of digestible crude protein and 0.70 against 0.67 to 0.69 UF /kg DM. Among the hays, that of 75 days offers a slight advantage. Ultimately, this crop remains possible in this area and can be recommended there with a view to reducing the fodder deficit.Keywords: Yield, chemical composition, fresh fodder, hay, nitrogen value, energy value.

Abstract The impact of key processing steps such as boiling, peeling, drying and storing on chemical compositions and morphologic features of the produced peony root was investigated in detail by applying 15 processing methods to fresh roots of Paeonia lactiflora and then monitoring contents of eight main components, as well as internal root color. The results showed that low temperature (4 °C) storage of fresh roots for approximately 1 month after harvest resulted in slightly increased and stable content of paeoniflorin, which might be due to suppression of enzymatic degradation. This storage also prevented roots from discoloring, facilitating production of favorable bright color roots. Boiling process triggered decomposition of polygalloylglucoses, thereby leading to a significant increase in contents of pentagalloylglucose and gallic acid. Peeling process resulted in a decrease of albiflorin and catechin contents. As a result, an optimized and practicable processing method ensuring high contents of the main active components in the produced root was developed.

Property Changes

Ion implantation, used extensively for the past decade in fabricating semiconductor devices, now provides a unique means for altering the near-surface chemical compositions and microstructures of metals. These alterations often significantly improve physical properties that depend on the surface of the material; for example, catalysis, corrosion, oxidation, hardness, friction and wear. Frequently the mechanisms causing these beneficial alterations and property changes remain obscure and much of the current research in the area of ion implantation metallurgy is aimed at identifying such mechanisms. Investigators thus confront two immediate questions: To what extent is the chemical composition changed by implantation? What is the resulting microstructure? These two questions can be investigated very fruitfully with analytical electron microscopy (AEM), as described below.

Recent advances in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and analytical electron microscopy (AEM) have led to many new insights into the structural and chemical characteristics of very finegrained, optically homogeneous mineral aggregates in sedimentary and very low-grade metamorphic rocks. Chemical compositions obtained by electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) on such materials have been shown by TEM/AEM to result from beam overlap on contaminant phases on a scale below resolution of EMPA, which in turn can lead to errors in interpretation and determination of formation conditions. Here we present an in-depth analysis of the relation between AEM and EMPA data, which leads also to the definition of new mineral phases, and demonstrate the resolution power of AEM relative to EMPA in investigations of very fine-grained mineral aggregates in sedimentary and very low-grade metamorphic rocks.Celadonite, having end-member composition KMgFe3+Si4O10(OH)2, and with minor substitution of Fe2+ for Mg and Al for Fe3+ on octahedral sites, is a fine-grained mica widespread in volcanic rocks and volcaniclastic sediments which have undergone low-temperature alteration in the oceanic crust and in burial metamorphic sequences.
