“…Typically, only a small fraction of a plant is fit for fiber production, with the rest being used for industrial, medicinal, and culinary applications. [75][76][77][78][79]89,90 Only 4% by weight of sisal fibers are extracted from sisal leaves, with the remaining weight being attributed to plant cuticle, dry matter, and water. 75 Ramie plants produce even lower fiber yields between 2% and 4% by weight of the plant, with jute plant fiber yields falling between 4% and 6%.…”

Increasing concerns regarding human-driven effects on the biosphere have led to the development and adoption of environmentally friendly “green” composites. Unlike conventional synthetic composites, green composites are made of natural materials in either the matrix or the fiber reinforcement (or both). They are claimed to have lower negative environmental effects due to their sustainability and easier recyclability. To assess the environmental impacts associated with any product, a life cycle assessment (LCA) is needed. This literature review summarizes the individual steps undertaken in an LCA study and discusses their relevance within the field of green composites. Similarly, an outline of life cycle costing (LCC), a type of study which determines the economic implications of a product, is incorporated. Since some phases of a product’s life cycle can have significant environmental effects, parameters affecting the time-dependant degradation of green composites and their significance in LCA studies were also explored. Finally, criteria for choosing natural fibers and biopolymers for green composites in engineering applications were considered, and case studies of hemp and flax as candidates for fiber cultivation in Alberta, Canada are provided throughout.

Leea asiatica (L.) Ridsdale is synonymously known as Phytolacca asiatica L. and Leea crispa L.. Leea asiatica is a perennial shrub or small tree in the family Vitaceae. According to a survey, any report was not available on macroscopic, microscopic, and physicochemical investigations of Leea asiatica (L.) Ridsdale. The present study was aimed to evaluate macroscopic, microscopic characters, and physicochemical investigations of Leea asiatica (L.) Ridsdale. All parameters were established according to the Pharmacognostical standards procedure. Leaves were found to be petiolate, leaflets 5-7, oblong or elliptic-ovate. Stems are soft wooded, erect, and pubescent. Transverse sections of the midrib of leaf displayed a single layer of the epidermis, glandular, and non-glandular trichomes. Powder microscopy of the leaf and stem showed the presence of rosette crystals of calcium oxalate, trichomes, and starch grains. Physiochemical studies like ash values, extractive values, and LOD of Leea asiatica leaves have also been established. The present studies have established parameters for the correct identification of Leea asiatica. The present investigation was carried out to focus on pharmacognostic and preliminary physicochemical investigations of plant, Leea asiatica (L.) Ridsdale., which will assist in standardization for authenticity, quality, and identification of herbal products.

“…Wild species of Solanum have been extensively used in folk-medicine for their protective effects on the liver and anti-secretory gastric properties (Sabir and Rocha, 2008). S. torvum a wild ally of S. melongena with promising multidisease resistant traits has great economic, medicinal and genetic importance (Hao et al, 2015). It is an important medicinal plant in tropical and subtropical countries and is widely used like food and folk medicine around the world.…”

Plants being an important source of medicine play significant role in human health. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the total phenolics and carotenoids contents, and free radical scavenging capacity of leaves and fruits of selected five solanaceous medicinal plants, namely Solanum melongena (brinjal), Solanum torvum (tit begun), Solanum virginianum (kantikari), Solanum sisymbrifolium (sada kantikari) and Solanum nigrum (futi begun). Carotenoids content in the leaves and fruits of solanaceous plants varied significantly among the species. Leaf phenolics content ranged between 147.40 (S. melongena) and 585.15 (S. virginianum) mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/100 g fresh weight, while fruit phenolics content varied from 50.52 (S. nigrum) to 105.02 (S. virginianum) mg GAE/100 g fresh weight. IC 50 values for scavenging 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) radical ranged between 31.52 (S. nigrum) and 33.55 (S. melongena) mg mL −1 in leaf, while in fruit it ranged between 27.90 (S. virginianum) and 33.11 (S. melongena) mg mL −1 . The highest carotenoids content (0.370 mg g −1 fresh weight) was measured from Solanum nigrum leaf. S. virginianum leaf contained about 4−fold high phenolics content than that in S. melongena. S. nigrum leaf had about 15−fold high carotenoids content (0.370 mg g −1 fresh weight). compared to S. torvum and S. virginianum fruits (0.024 mg g −1 FW in each). Because of the highest fruit phenolics and carotenoids content along with the lowest IC 50 values for scavenging DPPH, S. virginianum fruit can be considered as superior for its health beneficial biochemical constituents.
