“…High levels of magnesium (44.16mg/100g) in Chikhwawa family (C2) suggest baobab root tubers are an important source of magnesium for nutritional purposes. Moreover magnesium levels (44.160mg/100g) in this study are higher than reported values in raw sweet potatoes (30mg/100g), cassava (16mg/100g) and yams (17mg/100g)22. Calcium is very important in tooth formation and reduces the risk of osteoporosis, a condition in which decreased bone mass weakens the bone22.…”

BackgroundMost studies on baobab have focused mainly on the nutritional value of baobab fruit pulp. Information on nutritional value and medicinal properties of the baobab root tuber has not been fully investigated and is scarce. This study was conducted to assess mineral and phytochemical composition of baobab root tubers from selected natural populations of Malawi.MethodsBaobab seeds from Chikhwawa, Mwanza, Salima, Karonga and Likoma were sown at Mzuzu University. At the age of five months after sowing, mineral content of the resulting root tubers was determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer whereas phytochemical composition was determined qualitatively.ResultsMagnesium (44.16mg/100g) and calcium (69.39mg/100g) levels were highest in baobab root tubers from Chikhwawa and Karonga, respectively. Mwanza and Karonga root tubers contained highest amount of lead (0.2100mg/100g) while iron content was highest (8.89mg/100g) in root tubers from Karonga. Salima and Mwanza root tubers showed strong concentration of terpenoids. Moderate concentrations of saponins were detected in Mwanza, Salima, Karonga and Chikhwawa root tubers. Alkaloids and flavonoids were absent in all families from the five sampled provenances.ConclusionMinerals and phytochemicals present in baobab root tubers suggest their nutritional and medicinal potential. However, further research is required to establish the causes of high levels of lead in baobab root tubers.

“…Magnesium is important in protein synthesis, release of energy from muscle storage and is essential in regulating body temperature22. High levels of magnesium (44.16mg/100g) in Chikhwawa family (C2) suggest baobab root tubers are an important source of magnesium for nutritional purposes.…”

“…Menurut Komunitas Perlindungan Indikasi Geografis -Salak Pondoh Sleman (2012), wilayah asal produk IG memiliki jenis tanah regosol, relatif sama dengan jenis tanah dari wilayah Srumbung (BAPPEDA Kabupaten Magelang, 2004) dan berbeda dengan kedua daerah asal sampel salak di Banjarnegara, yaitu latosol di Madukara dan grumosol di Banjarmangu (BAPPEDA Kabupaten Banjarnegara, 2010). Perbedaan jenis tanah daerah asal sampel salak tersebut menunjukkan kemampuan tanaman salak beradaptasi pada berbagai jenis tanah, namun memiliki dampak pada perbedaan kandungan unsur hara makro dan mikro (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, Mo, dan Cl) di dalam tanah (Poerwowidodo, 1992) dan citarasa, tekstur, proses pembentukan warna pada buah (Florkowski, Shewfelt, Brueckner, & Prussia, 2014).…”

AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan membedakan produk-produk berindikasi geografis dari Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta menggunakan kandungan mineralnya. Kandungan dari empat elemen, yaitu Cu, Fe, Mn dan Zn, pada sampel salak pondoh dan nira kelapa yang merupakan produk berindikasi geografis dari Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta diukur menggunakan Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS PENDAHULUANProduk berindikasi geografis (IG) merupakan produk yang memiliki keterkaitan kuat dengan daerah dimana produk tersebut berasal sehingga ketika dipasarkan, daerah asal produk, yang memberikan ciri dan kualitas pada produk tersebut, digunakan sebagai bagian nama produknya. Meskipun jumlah produk yang didaftarkan sebagai produk IG di Indonesia semakin meningkat, namun jumlahnya masih relatif sedikit jika dibandingkan dengan negara lain di kawasan Eropa dan Asia. Sampai dengan Maret 2017, terdapat 39 produk yang telah mendapatkan sertifikat indikasi geografis dari Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia, dengan komposisi 92% merupakan produk dalam negeri dan 8% merupakan produk asing (Direktorat Jenderal Hak Kekayaan Intelektual Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia RI, 2017). Diantara produk-produk yang telah tersertifikasi tersebut, terdapat dua produk yang berasal dari Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, yaitu Gula Kelapa Kulon Progo dan Salak Pondoh Sleman. Menurut Sukartiko (2012b), banyaknya jumlah produk yang telah didaftarkan tersebut mengindikasikan setidaknya dua hal, adanya permintaan terhadap produk-produk IG, dan keinginan produsen untuk melindungi produkproduknya dari kemungkinan upaya pemalsuan. Selain itu, keberadaan produk hukum yang mengatur indikasi geografis juga menguatkan indikasi tersebut. Tingginya permintaan dan kebutuhan perlindungan terhadap pemalsuan tersebut, karenanya perlu dilengkapi dengan kajian parameter pendiskrimisasi yang dapat digunakan untuk mengotentikasi produk-produk berindikasi geografis dan membedakannya dari produk-produk non-IG atau produk-produk IG dari daerah asal yang berbeda.

“…Fresh-cut produce sales worldwide have grown significantly during the past few years, especially in developed countries; out of the total produce sales, fresh-cut sales have an estimate share of 18% in Europe, 9% in the United States, and 5% in Australia (Florkowski et al, 2014). In terms of value, fresh-cut sales in the United States in 2012 were projected at $28 billion annually, including US$ 11 billion sales in all grocery retail channels and US$ 17 billion in all foodservice channels, with melons being a significant part of this segment, representing 8.4% as individual fresh-cut fruit and part of the 28.8% of the mixed cut fruits at the retail level (Cook, 2014).…”

In general, it has been estimated that fresh-cut fruits currently represent 7 to 10% of the total fresh-cut sales in different countries and show significant growth rates in most of them (Florkowski et al, 2014). To maintain the momentum created by steady growth, among other challenges, the processing industry needs high-quality products (Dean, 2013).…”

Pre- And Postharvest Attributes of Muskmelon Cultivars for Fresh-Cut Cubes

C. Krarup, C. Jacob, and S. Contreras. 2016. Pre-and postharvest attributes of muskmelon cultivars for fresh-cut cubes. Cien. Inv. Agr. 43(1):43-51. The choice of the appropriate cultivar is a critical factor for obtaining a successful crop and for satisfying the needs of the industry and consumers. Nine commonly used or recently available varieties of cantaloupe melons (Cucumis melo L. Group Cantalupensis) were evaluated in two locations with the objective of selecting cultivars ad hoc for processing as fresh-cut cubes. Overall, the yield (30 to 45 t ha -1 ) and quality, including mainly the fruit size and soluble solids concentration (SSC), varied between locations, but the relative performance of cultivars was similar. The cultivars showed significant differences in attributes that are relevant for the industry and the consumer: color (from yellow to deep orange), SSC (from 8.7 to 14.7%), firmness (11.2 to 32.8 N), and chilling injury after refrigerated storage for 18 days at 0 ºC (from none to slight) and after 3 additional days at 20 ºC (from none to severe). Cultivars such as Diva, Fiji, and Glamour presented attributes that make them especially valuable for the fresh-cut processing industry.
