Abstract. Agussalim, Umami N, Nurliyani, Agus A. 2021. The physicochemical composition of honey from Indonesian stingless bee (Tetragonula laeviceps). Biodiversitas 22: 3257-3263. The demand of honey has recently increased significantly, but this situation is widely used by irresponsible humans who made a fake honey. This present study aims to evaluate the quality based on the physicochemical composition of honey from Indonesian stingless bee Tetragonula laeviceps. Honey was obtained from three geographical origins in Indonesia, i.e. Sleman, Gunungkidul, and Lombok. The physicochemical composition of honey was analyzed such as moisture, ash, protein, pH, glucose/moisture ratio, and electrical conductivity, and amino acids. The results showed that the geographical origins had a highly significant effect (P<0.01) on moisture, pH, and significant effect (P<0.05) on ash, electrical conductivity, protein, and glucose/moisture ratio. Honey from Indonesian stingless bee T. laeviceps was found 17 amino acids were arginine, histidine, lysine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, valine, threonine, tyrosine, proline, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, serine, alanine, glycine, and cysteine. The dominant amino acids of honey from Sleman were glutamic acid, histidine, lysine, and arginine. Honey from Lombok were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, and histidine. Furthermore, honey from Gunungkidul were lysine, arginine, histidine, and phenylalanine. Honey from Sleman and Lombok have the best quality than honey from Gunungkidul based on the chemical composition and amino acids profile.
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the physicochemical properties of honey produced by the Indonesian stingless bee: Tetragonula laeviceps. Sample of honey was obtained from three meliponiculture origins: Faculty of Animal Science Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Gunungkidul (Yogyakarta) and Klaten (Central Java) and analysed for physical (flavour) and chemical properties including water content, dry matter (DM), ash, fat, protein, carbohydrate, and organic matter. The electrical conductivity (EC) was determined by the equation of EC = 0.14 + 1.74 A (A = ash content). Data were statistically analysed using one-way analysis of variance followed by honestly significant difference test. The results showed that the flavour of honey from the Faculty of Animal Science UGM and Klaten were sweet and those from Gunungkidul were bitter. The results showed that the geographical origins had a highly significant effect (P<0.01) on water content, protein, DM and carbohydrate. Furthermore, geographical origins had a significant difference (P<0.05) on ash, organic matter, and EC, but not on fat (P>0.05). There was great variability in the composition of honey across different geographical origins. Thus, the chemical properties of honey from the Faculty of Animal Science UGM and Klaten were higher than honey from Gunungkidul.
INTISARIKetinggian tempat akan mempengaruhi jenis tanaman yang tumbuh, ketersediaan air, unsur hara tanah, suhu, kelembaban, curah hujan dan sinar matahari, sehingga berdampak pada kemampuan tanaman dalam berbunga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jenis tanaman pakan lebah sumber nektar, polen dan keduanya berdasarkan ketinggian tempat di Yogyakarta. Penelitian telah dilaksanakan di Kecamatan Cangkringan dan Turi Sleman serta Kecamatan Patuk Gunungkidul Yogyakarta dengan metode survei secara langsung pada areal perkebunan, sawah dan hutan. Indetifikasi jenis tanaman penghasil nektar dan polen dilakukan dengan mengambil sampel satu atau dua bunga, kemudian memeriksa ketersediaan nektar dan polen. Data jenis tanaman pakan lebah tersebut dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jenis tanaman pakan lebah di Kecamatan Cangkringan ketinggian 500 -900 dan > 1000 m dpl terdapat 23 jenis terdiri dari kelapa, tebu, padi, sengon, cabe merah, cabe rawit, tomat, kacang panjang, pisang, sawi hijau, jagung, ketimun, melinjo, mahoni, kemiri, durian, turi, cokelat, kersen, terong, ubi jalar, ubi kayu, dan akasia. Kecamatan Turi ketinggian 500 -900 dan > 1000 m dpl terdapat 18 jenis terdiri dari kelapa, kaliandra bunga merah, padi, tomat, pisang, jagung, melinjo, mahoni, rambutan, durian, mangga, pepaya, alpukat, nangka, jambu air, kapuk randu, ubi jalar dan cokelat. Kecamatan Patuk ketinggian 200 -700 m dpl terdapat 28 jenis terdiri dari cokelat, padi, jagung, ubi kayu, kacang tanah, kedelai, cabe merah, terong, melinjo, jeruk, jambu biji, durian, alpukat, mangga, rambutan, belimbing manis, sawo, pepaya, pisang, nangka, sukun, lamtoro, sonokeling, akasia, mahoni, ubi jalar, sengon dan kelapa. Jenis tanaman pakan lebah sumber nektar dan polen di Yogyakarta sangat bervariasi, sehingga berpotensi untuk dikembangkan peternakan lebah madu.(Kata kunci: Lebah madu, Nektar dan polen, Pakan lebah) ABSTRACTThe latitude will influence plant type that growth, water availability, soil nutrients, temperature, humidity, rainfall, and sunlight, so that impact on the ability of plant for flowering. This research was aimed to determine the types of honeybees forages as the source of nectar, pollen and the both based on the latitude in Yogyakarta. The Research has been conducted in District of Cangkringan and Turi Sleman and Patuk Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta. The research used methods directly survey to observe in plantation area, field, and forest. Identification of plant type for produce nectar and pollen was taken one or two samples, then check the availability of nectar and pollen. The data of type of bee forage were analyzed by descriptive analysis. The results of research showed that the type of bee forage in Cangkringan with latitude of 500 -900 and > 1000 m asl were 23 plants consisted of coconut, sugarcane, rice, sengon, chili, tomato, bean, banana, corn, cucumber, melinjo, mahogany, walnut, durian, sesbania grandiflora, cocoa, cherry, eggplant, sweet potato, cassava and acacia. The District of Turi with latit...
This research aimed to investigate the type of plants for honeybees forages in Pakem Sleman and Nglipar Gunungkidul. This research was conducted from 16 March to 12 May 2016. The method used was direct observation in the plantations, fields, and forests. The type of plants observed were dominant plants, so can be developed beekeeping, honey. To determine the type of plants that produce nectar and pollen, one or two samples of flower in each plant were taken, then the availability of nectar and pollen was checked. The data of honeybees forage types were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the type of honeybees forages in Pakem Sleman consisted of coconut, coffee, banana, calliandra, avocado, rice, albizia, chili, tomato, long beans, mustard green, maize, cucumber, melinjo, mahogany, cassava, and cherry. Honeybees forages in Nglipar Gunungkidul consisted of coconut, albizia, acacia, banana, peanuts, tamarind, eucalyptus, rambutan, sorghum, cacao, soybeans, cassava, maize, rice, rose wood, mahogany, and cherry. Thus, Pakem Sleman and Nglipar Gunungkidul have great potential for development of beekeeping honey.
