Abstract. Afrianto WF, Tamnge F, Hasanah LN. 2020. Review: A relation between ethnobotany and bioprospecting of edible flower Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea) in Indonesia. Asian J Ethnobiol 3: 51-61. Clitoria ternatea L., known as “bunga telang” in Indonesia, is an important medicinal plant belongs Fabaceae, which is an ornamental perennial climber. It has widely distributed throughout Africa, Asia, Australia, North and South America, Pacific (Northwestern, South-Central, and Southwestern). This review aims to study the relation between ethnobotany and bioprospecting of C. ternatea. The literature study revealed that Indonesian communities use flowers part of C. ternatea as an eye medicine, boils disease, an ornamental plant, and a symbol in traditional ceremonies. Leaf, flower, seed, and root of this species have bioprospecting for medicine, agriculture, as well as food and beverage. Ethnobiology exploration of C. ternatea in Indonesia is an initial step to observe the bioprospecting potential. Then, it can be continued to further research to produce commercial products where these products will provide an economic impact and motivate communities to take a part of conservation actions. The present study assesses the limited works that have been carried out on bioecology, ethnobotany, bioprospecting, and market potential. We hope that the study‘s output can spur further research and industry approach.
Indonesia faces a food waste problem, particularly at the household level. Food waste causes negative impacts on several aspects such as environment, society, and economy. Ironically, at the same time, Indonesia also has a serious hunger problem. Through community development programs, we aimed to empower households in recycling their food waste by eco enzyme and their awareness through an online challenge. Eco enzyme is an affordable and useful method to recycle food waste being a liquid product with many benefits such as insect repellent, organic fertilizer, general cleaner, air purifier, and laundry cleaner. The total participants of the eco enzyme workshop were 57 people. On the other hand, through an online campaign #MelawanFoodWate, 101 users took action to be conscious customers in shopping behavior. These activities were in collaboration with several stakeholders to ensure the success of the program. These programs can be considered an initiation to develop Food Smart City that focuses on the community-based movement and circular economy.
Anemia is one of the most common health problems found in Indonesia. Anemia is characterized by the low number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in the blood caused by low levels of iron in the body. Wheat grass (Triticum aestivum L.) contain high existence of iron is supposed to be able to increase erythrocytes and Hb level in mice (Mus musculus L.). Completely Randomized Design was used in this experiment, consisting of 5 treatment (K1: without NaNO2 and WGJ (wheat grass juice), K2: given the NaNO2 without given the WGJ, P1: WGJ 25%, P2: WGJ 50%, and P3: WGJ 75%) and 5 replication. The parameters observed were the male mice erythrocytes and the Hb levels before and after being given the wheat grass juice. The data were analyzed using ANOVA then continued DNMRT test with a 5% level. The results showed that giving wheat grass juice for 14 days can increased the eryhrocytes and Hb levels in male mice. The most noticeable impact is the treatment with the highest dose i.e. P3 (WGJ 75%).
Abstract. Afrianto WF, Tamnge F, Hidayatullah T, Hasanah LN. 2021. Local knowledge of plant-based nutrition sources from forgotten foods in Datengan Village, East Java, Indonesia. Asian J Ethnobiol 4: 53-64. Plant-based food has benefits for health and the environment. Finding adequate plant-based nutrition sources can be found by exploring local knowledge. Here, forgotten foods mean two definitions that (i) those foods were consumed by the community before, but over time it is forgotten in the daily diet, and (ii) unusually consumed by the community outside, but it still is or over-consumed by the community. This study aimed to identify the plant-based nutrition sources in Datengan Village. The study was conducted in the Datengan Village, Grogol Sub-district, Kediri District, East Java Province, Indonesia. Ethnobotany approach through qualitative research (i.e., observation, semi-structured interview, and participant observation) were used to explore the plant-based nutrient sources from forgotten foods in Datengan Village. The results showed forgotten foods in Datengan Village, i.e., fermented foods, mushrooms, by-products, and plant rich-nutrition. There were 26 plant-rich-nutrition, two mushrooms, two fermented foods, and six by-product foods. This investigation is still a preliminary study. 14 handling, processing, and serving methods were used based on the interview. This plant-based nutrition source diversity can be an alternative to fulfill nutrient requirements for the community of Datengan Village and the community of outside areas.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui persentase tingkat kekerabatan, menentukan waktu perpisahan, dan menjelaskan korespondensi bunyi antara bahasa Jawa Wonogiri di Tiakar dan bahasa Minangkabau di Tiakar Payakumbuh, Sumatera Barat. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif dan kualitatif dalam bidang linguistik sejarah komparatif. Berdasarkan hasil pembahasan penelitian, diperoleh tiga kesimpulan. Pertama, persentase tingkat kekerabatan adalah 20%, dengan 40 kosakata yang berkerabat dari 200 kosakata dasar. Kedua, waktu pisah kedua bahasa adalah 3707 tahun yang lalu. Jika dihitung dari tahun 2023 waktu kedua bahasa tersebut adalah 1684 SM. Ketiga, korespondensi bunyi antara kedua bahasa dapat dilihat dalam bentuk 5 pasang kosa kata yang identik, 28 kata penggantian bunyi fonem, 1 pengurangan bunyi, dan 6 penambahan bunyi. Jadi, dapat disimpulkan bahwa berdasarkan persentase tingkat kekerabatan dan lamanya dua bahasa berpisah, kedua bahasa tersebut termasuk dalam klasifikasi keluarga dari satu turunan (stock).
