Medicinal, Aromatic, and Industrial Materials from Plants

  • Chapter
Medicinal and Aromatic Plants I

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 4))

Abstract

Higher plants are solar-powered biochemical factories which manufacture what they need to survive (both primary and secondary metabolites) from air, water, minerals, and their energy from sunlight. Many species of higher plants biosyn-thesize and accumulate extractable organic substances in quantities sufficient to be economically useful as chemical feedstocks or as raw materials for various scientific, technological, and commercial applications. Natural substances are employed, either directly or indirectly, by a large number of industries, and natural plant products (phytochemicals) figure prominently in several of these. For example, phytochemicals are utilized to a large extent by the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food, agrochemical, and chemurgic industries. Economically important plants serve as irreplaceable sources of industrial oils (both volatile and fixed), flavors and fragrances, resins (e.g., rosin and tall oil), gums, natural rubber, waxes, saponins and other surfactants, dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides (e.g., insecticides and rodenticides), and many specialty products (Uphof 1968; Leung 1980; Rowe 1980; Goldstein 1981; Pryde and Doty 1981; Tyler et al. 1981; Fowler 1982; Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) 1983; Trease and Evans 1983; Balandrin et al. 1985; Bates 1985).
