“…Leaves are palmately compound or digitate and have a long petiole, each bearing 5-8 leaflets that are lanceolate, acuminate, and having a slightly serrated margin [Figure 1]. Flowers are bisexual, creamy white, 5-merous, clustered on the branchlets, and have a milky fragrance [8,10]. Fruits are elongated capsules that are borne in clusters, pendulous, green when young [Figure 1], and brown when mature.…”

“…In Southeast Asian countries, leaves are used to treat fever, cough, hoarseness, and venereal diseases. The bark is used for treatment of fever, asthma, gonorrhea, and diarrhea, and as aphrodisiac, while the root has diuretic and febrifuge properties [5,8,9]. Kapok fibers are used for stuffing pillows, cushions, mattresses, and life jackets.…”

In this review, the botany, uses, reproductive biology, pharmacological properties, and industrial potentials of Ceiba pentandra (kapok) are updated. Reproductive biology entailed phenology, floral and fruiting biology, pollination ecology, and breeding system. Among the pharmacological properties of extracts, anti-hyperglycemia or antidiabetes dominated, mostly from the stem bark of C. pentandra. Industrial potentials of C. pentandra were focused on biodiesel, bioethanol, absorbents, and adsorbents production from different plant parts. Sources of information were from Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and J-Stage. Selection of articles in the literature was based on topics rather than on the period of coverage, although higher priority was accorded to more recent references. Some areas for further research of C. pentandra were suggested.

BackgroundHelichrysum species are used extensively for stress-related ailments and as dressings for wounds normally encountered in circumcision rites, bruises, cuts and sores. It has been reported that Helichysum species are used to relief abdominal pain, heart burn, cough, cold, wounds, female sterility, menstrual pain.ResultsFrom the extracts of Helichrysum foetidum (L.) Moench, six known compounds were isolated and identified. They were 7, 4′-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-flavanone (1), 6′-methoxy-2′,4, 4′-trihydroxychalcone (2), 6′-methoxy-2′,4-dihydroxychalcone -4′-O-β-D-glucoside (3), apigenin (4), apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucoside (5), kaur-16-en-18-oic acid (6) while two known compounds 3,5,7-trihydroxy-8-methoxyflavone (12), 4,5-dicaffeoyl quinic acid (13) together with a mixture of phytosterol were isolated from the methanol extract of Helichrysum mechowianum Klatt. All the compounds were characterized by spectroscopic and mass spectrometric methods, and by comparison with literature data. Both extracts and all the isolates were screened for the protease inhibition, antibacterial and antifungal activities. In addition, the phytochemical profiles of both species were investigated by ESI-MS experiments.ConclusionsThese results showed that the protease inhibition assay of H. foetidum could be mainly attributed to the constituents of flavonoids glycosides (3, 5) while the compound (13) from H. mechowianum contributes to the stomach protecting effects. In addition, among the antibacterial and antifungal activities of all the isolates, compound (6) was found to possess a potent inhibitor effect against the tested microorganisms. The heterogeneity of the genus is also reflected in its phytochemical diversity. The differential bioactivities and determined constituents support the traditional use of the species. Molecular modelling was carried out by computing selected descriptors related to drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET).Graphical abstractCompounds isolated from Helichrysum species (Compositae).Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13065-015-0108-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Background: Penggunaan minyak jelantah lebih dari dua kali tidak baik bagi kesehatan manusia, sehingga diperlukan edukasi dan sosialisasi kepada masyarakat agar tidak mengkonsumsi sisa pakai penggorengan lebih dari dua kali karena perlu diketahui bahwa ketika minyak terjadi proses oksidasi maka minyak tersebut dapat menjadi radikal bebas dan senyawa berbahaya, dimana dapat memberikan pengaruh saat di konsumsi karena memberikan dampak kepada kesehatan secara cepat maupun lambat dirasakan bagi tubuh. Tujuan PKM ini diharapkan memberikan transfer knowledge untuk tidak menggunakan minyak jelantah, tidak hanya itu saja, para peserta yaitu Ranting Aisyiyah Pasar VII Tembung diberikan pemahaman limbah minyak jelantah dapat didistribusikan kepada perusahaan start-up yaitu Kepul Online. Metode: Identifikasi permasalahan melalui wawancara kepada ibu-ibu rumah tangga agar diketahui bahwa minyak jelantah sebagai limbah dan selanjutnya memberikan edukasi kepada para peserta tentang limbah tersebut dari narasumber dengan capaian agar para peserta tidak lagi menggunakan limbah minyak jelantah, kemudian memberikan transfer knowledge kepada lingkungan para peserta dan pengumpulan limbah minyak jelantah pada Kepul Online. Hasil: Bahwa minyak jelantah dapat didistribusikan kepada Kepul Online sebagai perusahaan yang peduli pada lingkungan sehingga minyak jelantah bernilai ekonomis. Kesimpulan: Para peserta terbuka wawasannya karena sudah memperoleh informasi dan pemahaman dari narasumber dan diuraikan tentang pengumpulan minyak jelantah menjadi peluang bekerja sama dengan Kepul Online dalam hal pemanfaatan nilai ekonomis dari limbah minyak jelantah.
