The molecular structure of an Eocene fossil resin (Vastan, Cambay basin, Western India) has been investigated with complimentary spectroscopic techniques. The FTIR spectrum shows strong aliphatic CHx (3000-2800 and 1460- 1450 cm-1) and CH3 (1377 cm-1) absorptions and less intense aromatic C=C (1560-1610 cm-1) absorptions. The major products from analytical pyrolysis are cadalene based bicyclic sesquiterpenoids including some bicadinenes and bicadinanes. The polycadinane products confirm the fossil material as an Angiosperm dammar resin, associated with inputs of tropical rain forests supported by past climates.Keywords

Lignite samples from Vastan and Tadkeshwar lignite mines, Cambay Basin have been analysed to elucidate lignin precursor using thermochemolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The thermochemolysis products of lignites are characterized by monomethoxy-, dimethoxy-, and trimethoxybenzene derivatives originated from p-hydroxyphenyl, guaiacyl, and syringyl units of lignin polymer, respectively. The other compounds obtained in thermochemolysates of studied lignites are some resin derived C15 sesquiterpenoids, with a series of fatty acid methyl esters and n-alkanes/alkenes. The methylated guaiacyl and syringyl derivatives originate from the cleavage of β - O - 4 linkages and subsequent methylation of acidic hydroxyl groups of preserved lignin. Gymnosperm lignin is characterized mainly by guaiacyl derivatives whereas angiosperm lignin yields some syringyl-type compounds in addition to guaiacyl-type compounds. By analogy with the lignin structure of modern trees, the abundant occurrences of syringyl derivatives in the thermochemolysis products of Surat lignites clearly demonstrate that the palaeofloral community was dominated by angiosperms during the deposition of these lignites.Keywords

Food items sourced from the marine ecosystem form a special part of cuisine in India and abroad. However, marine food is associated with unique types of toxicity. Marine toxins (MTs) are a unique group of biological toxins which are formed through the normal metabolism of microscopic organisms like dinoflagellates, bacteria, or algae. These toxins accumulate in successive trophic levels of the food chain due to biomagnification and finally reach the apex consumer, man. Man can get the toxin either through envenomation, ingestion, skin absorption, or inhalation. This update article describes the common marine toxins encountered in clinical practice. The sources of the toxins, their biochemical mechanism of action, and common treatment options have been described at length.Keywords
