“…Floral development of E. elatior has been divided into four different stages by Choon & Ding (2017). The four developmental stages include (1) First stage: Tight or closed buds, occurring 35 days after stem emerged from the ground (Fig.…”

“…The vase life grading system by Marcsik, Hoult, Connelly, Lasker, & Ford (2003) suggested that E. elatior inflorescences at four developmental stages can be used as a standard to help farmers with the export market. The stages are (1) tight bud (TB: closed and pigmented bud, 35 days after emergence above ground), (2) six reflexing tips (SRT: six pieces of involucral bracts unfolded, 45 days after emergence), (3) all involucral bracts unfolded (IBU: 58 days after emergence above ground), and (4) full bloom (FB: the first ring of actual flowers opened, 60 days after emergence above ground) (Choon & Ding, 2017). Postharvest durability (PHD) or period acceptable floricultural plants for consumers to use varies between varieties in different countries.…”

“…Comprehensive studies were performed to get an insight into the nature of the flower blooming and the mechanical aspect of the inflorescence growth. The previous report has shown that the transfer of photo-assimilates from the vegetative stem for flower stem development occurs once it switches to the reproductive system (Choon & Ding, 2017). For a cut flower, the ability of the stem to stand without any support is related to its mechanical strength, which involves rigidity and strength of the stem.…”

“…A strong peduncle is necessary to support heavy and oversized flowers at the flower blooming stage. Anatomy studies performed by Choon & Ding (2017) revealed that the upper and lower part of the peduncle shared identical characters throughout the growing period. Higher mechanical support is characterized with two essential events, lignification of vascular bundle and cellulase activity.…”

Etlingera elatior or torch ginger is a species under the Zingiberaceae family, primarily distributed in tropical forests and humid, shady places. It is a coarse herb often growing in large colonies, characterized by elongated leafy stems up to 5 m height arising from underground rhizomes. It is known as kantan in Malaysia and kecombrang in Indonesia. The inflorescence is famous as an ingredient in Malay, Indonesian and Thai dishes. The extract from its stem is used to reduce swelling, and post-partum women use the leaves while the fruits are used to treat earache, diarrhea, coughs, and mouth sores. Because it has a beautiful appearance, it is also widely marketed as a promising floriculture and horticulture plant. Recently, the rising demand from customers for the versatility and durability of cut flowers has made farmers and the horticulture industry search for new cultivars. Thus, researchers are keen to generate cultivars with various colors, shapes, yields, and longer vase life. This could be done through different techniques such as intensive germplasm collection, hybridization programs, and plant biotechnology techniques. Towards achieving these aims, this review provides current insight on E. elatior from botanical, physiological growth, breeding, taxonomy, ecology, commercial potential, postharvest, medicinal, and food nutritional aspects.

“…Torch ginger leaves were selected as an example of potential agricultural waste for this purpose. In a previous report, torch ginger plant parts, namely flowers, rhizomes, leaves, bark, stems and roots, were optimized as natural antioxidants and antibacterial agents 23‐26 . However, the use of torch ginger leaf wastes as a material for making porous carbon, especially for electrodes in supercapacitor cell components, is still in its early stages 27,28 .…”

Aromatic biomass (torch ginger) leaf‐derived three‐dimensional honeycomb‐like carbon to enhance gravimetric supercapacitor

BackgroundPorous carbon electrode (PCE) is identified as a highly suitable electrode material for commercial application due to its production process, which is characterized by simplicity, cost‐effectiveness and environmental friendliness. PCE was synthesized using torch ginger (Etlingera elatior (Jack) R.M. Smith) leaves as the base material. The leaves were treated with different concentrations of ZnCl2, resulting in a supercapacitor cell electrode with unique honeycomb‐like three‐dimensional (3D) morphological pore structure. This PCE comprises nanofibers from lignin content and volatile compounds from aromatic biomass waste.ResultsFrom the characterization of physical properties, PCE‐0.3 had an impressive amorphous porosity, wettability and 3D honeycomb‐like structural morphology with a pore framework consisting of micropores and mesopores. According to the structural advantages of 3D hierarchical pores such as interconnected honeycombs, PCE‐0.3 as supercapacitor electrode had a high specific capacitance of up to 285.89 F g−1 at 1 A. Furthermore, the supercapacitor exhibited high energy and power density of 21.54 Wh kg−1 and 161.13 W kg−1, respectively, with a low internal resistance of 0.059 Ω.ConclusionThe results indicated that 3D porous carbon materials such as interconnected honeycombs derived from the aromatic biomass of torch ginger leaves have significant potential for the development of sustainable energy storage devices. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
