Background: Nila is a tropical fish that likes shallow water. Nila has better nutritional content compared to other freshwater fish, but Nila is also a food that is quickly damaged and spoiled. Pharmacological testing shows that basil has antibacterial activity. Basil leaves contain saponins, flavonoids and tannins which have many benefits besides being a spice in cooking it is also beneficial for bodily health.
Method: This study immersed Nila in basil leaf extract (30 ml, 60 ml, 90 ml) dissolved in water to a volume of 0.5 liters for 30 minutes. After that it is stored at room temperature for 0 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours.
Results: The results of the study using the ANOVA test showed that with the addition of basil leaf extract T1 (30ml), T2 (60 ml) and T3 (90 ml) there was no change in texture, color, odor and eyes on the 4 hour immersion while in the 6 hour immersion there was a change in texture and color.
Conclusion: Based on the results and discussion above, it can be concluded that the addition of basil leaf extract to the freshness of Nila can be seen in 4 hours of immersion because, the results obtained are good, there is no change in the texture, color, odor and eye categories based on 4 sensory test scales. This happens because there is no enzyme, microorganism and chemical activity so that the freshness of the fish is maintained.
Background: Medicinal plants are all plants that can be used as medicine, ranging from those seen by the eye to those that appear under a microscope. Medicinal plants are all types of medicinal plants that are known or believed to have medicinal properties, which are grouped into traditional medicinal plants. The purpose of this study was to determine the types of medicinal plants used by the people of Wainusalaut Village as traditional medicine.
Method: This type of research is qualitative with survey and interview techniques.
Results: Research shows that 24 types of medicinal plants have been known to have been cultivated by the people of Wainusalaut Village and which have the potential as a drug as many as 18 species of plants that enter into 20 families. The part that is often used by the villagers of Wainusalaut is stems, roots, leaves and fruit.
Conclusion: There are 24 types of medicinal plants that have been cultivated by the people of Wainusalaut Village
The mitotic index of the roots of pigeon pea can be the basis for determining the growth of pigeon pea. The purpose of this research was to determine the time of root cell division, to observe the mitotic phases, and to determine the mitotic index of pigeon pea root cells. The preparation of the pigeon pea was carried out for 4 days to grow the roots. The roots were cut off at 08.00, 08.15, and 08.30 WIT (Eastern Indonesian Time). The roots were cut 0.5-1cm. Carnoy’s solution was used as the fixative solution using the Squash technique. The prepared roots were then observed using an Olympus cx-22 microscope and an OptiLab camera with a magnification of 100x40. The data were descriptively analyzed to describe the images of mitotic phases and the mitotic index presentation in the root cells of pigeon pea. The results of this research showed that the cell division of the pigeon pea roots began at 08.00 WIT, which was marked by the presence of a lot of prophase. The next phases that appeared were prometaphase, metaphase, and anaphase which occurred from 08.15 to 08.30 with different numbers. The highest mitotic index occurred at 08.15, when most of the root cells underwent metaphase. This study succeeded in revealing that the optimum time for pigeon pea root cell division is 08.15 WIT. In the future, this research can help pigeon pea farmers in Southwest of Maluku to carry out vegetative reproduction which is closely related to this mitotic study.
Background: Cassava (Dioscorea sp.) Is a seasonal crop with twisted stems and forming yam. Sweet potatoes contain a large amount of carbohydrates, can be the basic ingredients of making flour, ethanol or alcohol.
Method: The population in this study were 25 community-owned yams. This research conducted for 1 month from January 6 to February 6, 2016. Variable in this research is identification of type of sweet potato in Ilmarang Village.
Result: Identification of 25 community gardens found 4 types of potatoes consisting of: cassava (Manihot esculenta Crants), sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L.), yam taro (Colocasia esculeata L.) and yam gembili (Diascorea esculenta L).
Conclusion: Utilization of cassava as staple food of rice substitute and processed into various kinds of products such as crackers and food
