Serrated alligator forceps grasp the foreign body with significant tension, and the serrations increase the friction, allowing the foreign body to be extracted. Alligator forceps work well in the removal of some vegetable matter, irregular hard objects, and disks. They are also useful for the sharp point of a pin or needle. Round and highly-polished foreign bodies can slip easily with these forceps. 2, record 3, English, - alligator%20forceps

P. cineraria is a genuine multipurpose species. It yields excellent firewood and produces high-quality charcoal. The wood is hard and reasonably durable with a variety of small timber uses. The foliage provides nutritious fodder, maximum yields being produced when the trees are pollarded on a three-year rotation. Palatability is good. The pods also provide good fodder, and when young, are a popular vegetable in the human diet in parts of India and Pakistan. In times of famine the bark of the tree is pounded into flour and made into cakes. The bark yields edible gums, is used locally in leather tanning, and is reported to be used to treat scorpion stings and snake bites. The flowers are valuable in honey production. 2, record 5, English, - multipurpose%20species

While chocolate or cocoa powder are frequently used as popular flavouring ingredients in icings, the development of confectioners’ coating made with hard vegetable butters instead of cocoa butter has resulted in a distinctively different type of coverture.(...) Depending on whether the confectionery coating is to be of the light or dark variety, its formula will contain about 34 per cent of hardened butter fat, 45 per cent of powdered sugar, 17 per cent of nonfat dry milk for the light coating, and 5 and 20 per cent of cocoa powder, respectively, for the light and dark coating. s 2, record 7, English, - confectionery%20coating
