Research abstract

SEVERAL SPECIES OF THE SALVIA FAMILY, WHICH PRODUCE EDIBLE SEED PRODUCTS, WILL BE TEST GROWN AT AN EXPERIMENTAL FARM IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA. THE MOST PRODUCTIVE VARIETIES THAT ARE ADAPTABLE TO DESERT CLIMATE, AND THAT ARE ECONOMICAL WITH WATER, WILL BE SELECTED FOR INCREASE AND FURTHER TESTING. THE PRODUCTS OF THE SEEDS, (1) POLYSACCHARIDE GUMS, (2) PROTEINS, AND (3) OILS, WILL BE ANALYZED BY MODERN CHEMICAL TECHNIQUES AND EVALUATED FOR PRODUCT REFINEMENTS. FURTHER CULTURAL TESTINGS AND CHEMICAL STUDIES WOULD BE CARRIED ON THROUGH PHASE II, AND HOPEFULLY TO COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THEREAFTER.
