Bush Medicines Of Western Sydney, Hans Wohlmuth

Dr Hans Wohlmuth

The knowledge of traditional Aboriginal use of medicinal plants in the Sydney area is almost non-existent. A number of plants growing in Mitchell Park, northwest of Sydney, are discussed in terms of their potential medicinal use by the traditional owners of the area. In the absence of records of medicinal plant use in the area, the discussion draws upon information from other areas of Australia. Aboriginal health prior to European settlement is also briefly discussed in an attempt to identify some of the ailments Aboriginal people may have found themselves treating with bush medicines. It is concluded that the area …

Dr Hans Wohlmuth

Aflatoxins are toxic secondary metabolites wh ich are rarely produced by species of mou Ids belonging to the genus Aspergillus. These moulds grow on stored plant foods, in particular peanuts, wheat and corn. In tropical countries an estimated 25% or more of the food may be contaminated with aflatoxins (Raven et al 1992).

Intraspecific Chemical Variability Of Essential Oil From Leaves Of Cupressus Atlantica Gaussen, An Endemic And Endangered Coniferous Species In Morocco, Abdelaziz Abbad, Youssef Sfairi, Hassani Lahcen, Khalid Bekkouche, Mohammed Markouk, Hans Wohlmuth, David Leach

Dr Hans Wohlmuth

The composition of essential oils isolated from leaves of 11 natural populations of Cupressus atlantica, an endemic and endangered coniferous species from Morocco, was investigated by GC-MS. In total, 42 essential oil components were identified, accounting for 73.1–97.7% of the total oil. Monoterpene (25.2–84.9%) and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (12.2–46.8%) were the principal subclasses of compounds, with α-pinene (15–65.4%), germacrene D (5.9–30.5%), δ-3-carene (2–16.6%) and γ-cadinene (1.3–9.8%) as the main constituents. The results of the oil composition were analysed by hierarchical cluster and principal component analysis that established three main groups of essential oils. These oils were differentiated …
