Brief Introduction

Salicin is a naturally occurring compound found in the bark of several species of trees, primarily North American in origin, that are from the willow, poplar, and aspen families. White willow, from whose Latin name, Salix alba, the term salicin is derived, is the most well known source of this compound, but it is found in a number of other trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants as well being synthesized commercially. It is a member of the glucoside family of chemicals and is used as an analgesic and antipyretic. Salicin is used as a precursor for the synthesis of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin.

A colorless, crystalline solid in its pure form, salicin has the chemical formula C13H18O7. Part of its chemical structure is equivalent to the sugar glucose, meaning it is classified as a glucoside. It is soluble, but not strongly so, in water and alcolhol. Salicin has a bitter taste and is a natural analgesic and antipyretic, or fever reducer. In large quantities, it can be toxic, and overdoses may lead to liver and kidney damage. In its raw form, it may be mildly irritating to skin, respiratory organs, and eyes.

Op de academische zitting van 28 augustus 2011 van ‘Maldegem wandelt fietst en proeft’ gaf Eric Vercruysse als gastspreker een ‘academische’ lezing over de Japanse notenboom Ginkgo Biloba waarvan er een prachtexemplaar staat voor het Kasteeltje in de Noordstraat.
- bron: Wikipedia: “De Japanse notenboom of ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is oorspronkelijk afkomstig uit China. De geslachtsnaam Ginkgo is afgeleid van het Japanse ‘Ginkyo’, wat ‘zilveren abrikoos’ betekent. Het woord ‘biloba’ betekent ‘twee lobben’ en verwijst naar de vorm van de bladeren. De Ginkgo Biloba wordt ook wel Japanse of Chinese tempelboom genoemd. In Japan wordt de boom als een god vereerd. De Japanse notenboom staat symbool voor onveranderlijkheid, hoop, liefde, toverkracht, tijdloosheid, en een lang leven. Vele kunstenaars zijn geïnspireerd door de Japanse notenboom. Het was de lievelingsboom van Goethe. In 1815 schreef hij er een sonnet, ‘Gingo biloba’ over.”
