Mr/Skraj,

1.can someone tell me about seedless lemon saplings and its advantages?
Food Uses
The seedless lemons are much sought after by pickle manufacturing industries.
Slices of lemon are served as a garnish on fish or meat or with iced or hot tea, to be squeezed for the flavorful juice. In Colombia, lemon soup is made by adding slices of lemon to dry bread roll that has been sautéed in shortening until soft and then sieved. Sugar and a cup of wine are added and the mixture brought to a boil, and then served.
Lemon juice, fresh, canned, concentrated and frozen, or dehydrated and powdered, is primarily used for lemonade, in carbonated beverages, or other drinks. It is also used for making pies and tarts, as a flavoring for cakes, cookies, cake icings, puddings, sherbet, confectionery, preserves and pharmaceutical products. A few drops of lemon juice, added to cream before whipping, gives stability to the whipped cream.
Lemon peel can be candied at home and is preserved in brine and supplied to manufacturers of confectionery and baked goods. It is the source of lemon oil, pectin and citric acid. Lemon oil, often with terpenes and sesquiterpenes removed, is added to frozen or otherwise processed lemon juice to enrich the flavor. It is much employed as a flavoring for hard candies.
Other Uses
Lemon juice is valued in the home as a stain remover, and a slice of lemon dipped in salt can be used to clean copper-bottomed cooking pots. Lemon juice has been used for bleaching freckles and is incorporated into some facial cleansing creams.
Lemon peel oil is much used in furniture polishes, detergents, soaps and shampoos. It is important in perfume blending and especially in colognes.
Petit grain oil (up to 50% citral), is distilled from the leaves, twigs and immature fruits of the lemon tree. With terpenes removed, it is greatly prized in colognes and floral perfumes.
Lemon peel, dehydrated, is marketed as cattle feed.
Lemonade, when applied to potted plants, has been found to keep their flowers fresh longer than normal. But it cannot be used on chrysanthemums without turning their leaves brown.
Wood: The wood is fine-grained, compact, and easy to work. It is carved into chessmen, toys, small spoons, and other articles.
Medicinal Uses:
Lemon juice is widely known as a diuretic, antiscorbutic, astringent, and febrifuge. In Italy, the sweetened juice is given to relieve gingivitis, stomatitis, and inflammation of the tongue. Lemon juice in hot water has been widely advocated as a daily laxative and preventive of the common cold, but daily doses have been found to erode the enamel of the teeth. Prolonged use will reduce the teeth to the level of the gums. Lemon juice and honey, or lemon juice with salt or ginger, is taken when needed as a cold remedy.
Oil expressed from lemon seeds is employed medicinally. The root decoction is taken as a treatment for fever. An infusion of the bark or of the peel of the fruit is given to relieve colic.

THE SUMMER is here and so is the season of ice creams and cold drinks. The market of ice creams in India every year touches new sky due to its growing popularity among various age groups. However, this time ice cream has major competitor- lemon drinks. Lemon market, which was considered to be under the unorganised sector, has suddenly come under the organised sector with the entry of some of the big market players.
Many big brands are taking lemon as a new concept to increase their base of clients. There has been enough media coverage on the war between the colas in the market. But suddenly simple lemonade has sidelined hi-fi aerated drinks. Two years back, Amul, India's milk product major, was the first company to highlight the use of lemon in its ice cream products by introducing a Vitamin C rich flavour. Mother Dairy followed the suit.
Lemon has not been new to India. The lemon tree is one of the oldest cultivated fruit plants, originated from India. The Indians have been using in different forms.
One of the most used product in the dishes of many house holds have been the pickle and the lemons have been one of the gradients of the pickle.
There is a belief in the market that the nimboo market is around a billion and it may increase in the future. The non-carbonated beverage segment is growing at double the rate of carbonated one in the Rs 7,000-crore domestic beverages industry. Many experts believe that the ready-to-drink packs, along with the price points, will support the growth of the segment.
At a point of time, when the consumption of dairy products is reducing day by day, promotion of lemonade is a healthy alternative. Lemons are known for its rich Vitamin C content that helps prevent several diseases, such as scurvy.
It also contains citric acid, which is essential requisite for all human beings. It keeps our digestion good and act as cleansers when toxicity pile up in the liver, kidneys, bowels, lungs, or skin. It is one of nature's five best sources of ascorbic acid.
