Re: [biofuel] new discovered plant
Dear Mr. Greg, The nearest to the word Thalo in reference to the fat giving trees/plants is Tallow. In fact, the tree whose fruit gives large quantities of oil/fat is the Chinese tallow tree with botanical name Triadica Sebifera and can be a good source of non-edible fat convertible into bio-diesel. Y. K. Jain Danilo J. Escleto wrote: Hi Greg, I checked all the possible spelling of Thalo sounding word. The Tallow is all about fats from vegetables and animals.

But when you say tallow plant I think i have to search on on this spelling. Thank you again Greg. Danny E. Could it be the Tallow Plant / Vegtable Tallow ? This plant is reported to have a high content of a hard fat/oil. Greg H.

Re: [biofuel] new discovered plant

In fact, the tree whose fruit gives large quantities of oil/fat is the Chinese tallow tree with botanical name Triadica Sebifera and can be a good source of non-edible fat convertible into bio-diesel. Y. K. Jain See Yields and Economics, below. http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/Sapium_sebiferum.html Sapium sebiferum Sapium sebiferum (L.) Roxb. Euphorbiaceae Chinese tallow tree, Vegetable tallow, White wax berry Source: James A. Duke. 1983. Handbook of Energy Crops. unpublished. Uses Chinese tallow tree is cultivated for its seeds as a source of vegetable tallow, a drying oil and protein food, and as an ornamental. Fruits yield two types of fats: outer covering of seeds contain a solid fat with low iodine value, known as Chinese Vegetable Tallow; kernels produce a drying oil with high iodine value, called Stillingia Oil. Tallow is used for manufacturing candles, a layer of wax being placed over the tallow body to prevent too rapid burning; has excellent burning quality, and gives an inodorous clear bright flame; also used for making soap, cloth dressing and fuel. Pure tallow fat is known in commerce as Pi-yu. Oil is used in making varnishes and native paints because of its quick-drying properties, in machine oils and as a crude lamp oil. Pure oil expressed from the inner part of the seeds is known in commerce as Ting-yu. Oil cakes made from crushed seeds with tallow and oil together is known as Mou-yu. Residual cake, after oil is expressed, is used as manure, particularly for tobacco fields. Wood is white and close-grained, suitable for carving and used for making blocks in Chinese printing; also used for furniture making and incense. Chinese prepare a black dye by boiling leaves in alum water. Tree grows rapidly, developes an attractive crown, and, as leaves turn red in fall, is cultivated as a shade or lawn tree about houses. It is used as a soil binder along roads and canals. Chinese place an insect on the tree to feed; it lays eggs in the seed, making some of the jumping beans, because of movements of larvae inside. Folk Medicine In Chinese medicine, oil is used as purgative and emetic, not as a usual vegetable oil for humans. Overdose of native medicine probably would cause violent sickness and perhaps death. Additionally, Chinese use the plant as an alexeteric, suppurative, and vulnerary, especially for edema and skin ailments. Decoction of the root bark used for dyspepsia, considered tonic. Resin from root bark considered purgative. The latex is an acrid and powerful vesicant. Chemistry The fatty acid composition of the oil is: caprylic, 1.50; capric, 1.00; myristic, 0.97; palmitic, 2.80; stearic, 1.00; oleic, 9.40; linoleic, 53.40; and linolenic, 30.00%. A Hong Kong sample contained 26.8% oil, with: capric, traces; palmitic, 7; stearic, 3; 2,4-decadienoic, 5; oleic, 7; linoleic, 24; and linolenic, 54%. Stillingia oil is considered superior to linseed oil in its drying and polymerizing properties, probably due to the presence of 2,4-decadienoic acid. Seed meal, left after the extraction of oil, possesses a high content of protein, and is a valuable feed and fertilizer. It can be processed into a refined flour, containing 75% protein, fit for human consumption. The amino acid composition of the protein is as follows: arginine, 16.6; aspartic acid, 11.7; cistine, 1.3; glycine, 4.9; glutamic acid, 17.3; histidine, 2.9; leucine, 7.4; lycine, 2.6; methionine, 1.6; tyrosine, 3.7; and valine, 7.8%. The vitamin-B content of the flour compares favorably with that of wheat-flour. The flour, supplemented with lysine and methionine, is reported to be superior to wheat-flour. Ethanol extraction of powdered root bark yielded 0.1% phloracetophenone 2,4-dimethylether, and reethanol extraction gave xanthoxylin (C10H12O4). The bark also contains moretenone, moretenol and a new triterpene, 3-epimoretenol. Leaves contain gallic and ellagic acids, isoquercitrin, and tannin (5.5%) (C.S.I.R., 1948-1976). Description Small to large deciduous tree, 10-13 m tall (in 30 years), often with a gnarled trunk, bark gray to whitish-gray with vertical cracks; stem exudes a milky poisonous juice; leaves alternate, broad rhombic to ovate, 3.5-8.5 cm long, 4-9 cm wide, cordate-acuminate at apex, usually round at base, turning orange to scarlet in autumn, falling early in the cold season; petioles 1.5-7 cm long, with 2 conspicuous glands at apex and on each side of scale-like bracts; flowers monoecious, greenish-yellow, in terminal spikes, 5-10 cm long; fruit a capsule, subglobose, 0.95-1.7 cm in diameter, 3-valved, with three seeds coated with a white wax; seeds half-ovate, 0.6-1.0 cm long, 0.43-0.6 cm wide, 0.5-0.77 cm thick, with an acrid penetrating taste. Fl. April-June; fr. ripens September-October. Germplasm Of the many cvs cultivated, more

This plant is reported to have a high content of a hard fat/oil. Greg H. There are lots of them. The Discovery program was apparently about the tung oil tree - see the link in my previous message: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/biofuel/message/1031 You'll find info on the Tallow Plant here: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/Sapium_sebiferum.html Sapium sebiferum There's also the diesel tree: Copaifera langsdorfii Desf. Caesalpiniaceae Diesel tree Source: James A. Duke. 1983. Handbook of Energy Crops. unpublished. Uses That the oleoresin called copaiba could be obtained by incising the trunk was first reported in England in 1625, in a work published by Purchas, ...a single tree is said to yield about 40 litres. (Grieve, 1931, reprinted 1974). Quoting nobel-laureate Calvin, Maugh says (1979), Natives ... drill a 5 centimeter hole into the 1-meter thick trunk and put a bung into it. Every 6 months or so, they remove the bung and collect 15 to 20 liters of the hydrocarbon. Since there are few Rabbit diesels in the jungle, the natives use the hydrocarbon as an emollient and for other nonenergy-related purposes. But tests have shown, he says, that the liquid can be placed directly in the fuel tank of a diesel-powered car. (Maugh, 1976). The copal is used in lacquers, massage preparations, medicines, and paints. Wood and resin can be used for fuel. The wood is used in carpentry (Burkart, 1943).

A program on Discovery Channel discussed a plant called Thalo plant (i'm not sure of the spelling) which they said produces a seed with combustible property. As shown on the program the seed Thalo Seed is green, spherical in shape and as big as a marble toy. They also shown how a single seed burns continuously for at least two minutes. Information from your office regarding this wonderful seed is highly appriciated. Thank you very Much. Sincerely yours, Danilo J.
