“…From the calculations based on dry weight, it shows that the W. globosa in this study has a high protein content of 45.041±4.374% (Table 1). This protein content is higher than the W. arrhizza, which of 28.6% dry weight [17], W. globosa in Thailand, which of 29.6% dry weight [5]. According to [7] has reported that 11 species of Wolffia have various protein content of about 20−30% freeze-dry weight.…”

“…Wolffia lives in stagnant waters and tends to associate with other duckweeds such as Lemna to form a thick green layer on the surface of the water. The genus of Wolffia has 11 species such as Wolffia australiana, W. colombiana, W. arrhiza, W. globosa, W.angusta found among others in New Zealand, America, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia [4][5][6][7]. The Wolffia in Indonesia is Wolffia globosa, that was found in various fertile open water such as Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, Enrekang, South Sulawesi, and Boyolali, Central Java.…”

“…According to [18], that has also suggested the ability of W. globosa as a phytoremediator in eliminating Cadmium content. In Thailand, W. globosa flour has also been tested as a substitute for soybean flour for broiler chicken feed ingredients [5]. The nutrient contens of several species of Wolffia have been reported [7].…”

One of the problems of aquaculture is the high cost of feed. Therefore, how to minimize the feed cost is of the main goals. It is necessary to find out natural sources that can be used as alternative feed. Wolffia globosa is an aquatic weed that is presumed to be used as an alternative feed source. Study the nutritional content of the Wolffia was conducted in June 2019, while the growth ability was conducted both outdoors and indoors in July 2019 at Research Center for Limnology Laboratory, LIPI. The W. globosa (percentage in dry weight) contained protein: 45.54%, fat: 5.33%, crude fiber: 9.98%, ash: 20.43%, and Nitrogen Free Extract:19.21%. It also contains 15 types of amino acids as much as 1.51 %w/w. At the outdoor system culture, the Wolffia has daily growth rate/GR (g/day) was 64.62−120.6, specific growth rate/SGR (%/day) was 14.622-15.333, and the daily productivity/P (g/m2/day) was 97.757−176.659. While at the indoor system culture the value of GR (g/day), SGR (%/day), and P (g/m2/day) were 0.675−1.50; 9.889−12.643; and 25.883−64.564 respectively. It is indicated that this Wolffia is very potential to be an alternative natural feed source for aquaculture or another purpose and needs further research.

The Bioactivity Study of Active Compounds in Wolffia globosa Extract for an Alternative Source of Bioactive Substances

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Wolffia globosa is a small plant found in the lagoons in tropical zones. The aim of our study was to examine the biological compounds found in W. globosa and their activities. The substances in W. globosa were extracted, isolated, and their chemical structures ascertained by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR) spectroscopy. The extract was tested for bioactivity, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic activities. The results showed that the isolated compounds in fraction two were mainly β-sitosterol and stigmasterol. The sterols found in the extract were able to inhibit nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells, which implied an anti-inflammatory activity. The extract was found to be non-toxic to human dermal fibroblast cells with an IC 50 of 106.38 ± 37.0 µg/mL.

Giant duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza) is one species of duckweed, distributed cosmopolitanly in stagnant freshwater. The duckweed has several potential uses such as for animal and fish feeds. However, its biological information in Indonesia is rare. A research was conducted in June to July 2019 to explore its nutritional content and growth ability. The growth ability experiment was done with two replications at The Research Center for Limnology, Indonesia Institute of Sciences laboratory. The indoor experiments used 3 types of culture media, namely P (mixture of Urea, NPK, and Gandasil); Q (water waste from catfish cultivation), and R (hydroponic fertilizer). Spirodela polyrhiza has a protein content of 24.10%; fat 1.74%; ash 1.78%, crude fiber 14.47%, and nitrogen-free extract of 57.89%. There were 15 types of amino acids observed in the biomass, made of as much as 13.1% w/w. The highest growth was obtained in R culture media with a specific growth rate (SGR): 8.54–16.53 % and productivity of 15.62–51.32 g/day/m2. Outdoor trials using the R media have a SGR value of 10.17–11.16% and productivity of 54.82–84.1 g/day/m2. Spirodela polyrhiza can be developed and have the potential to be used as an alternative natural feed source for aquaculture or another purpose. Further research is needed.
