Abstract

Abstract. Daryono BS, Ramlah, Pabendon MB. 2020. Local food diversification of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) cultivars in West Sulawesi, Indonesia: A case study of diversity and local culture. Biodiversitas 21: 67-73. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) P.Beauv.) is one of the non-rice cereal crops that has long been domesticated in the world, including West Sulawesi-Indonesia as an alternative food crop instead of rice on local culture. Traditional millet cultivars may become an indispensable part of the local culture and traditions of millet-growing people across Asia over many generations. The existence of this germplasm in West Sulawesi Province, Indonesia has been observed morphologically and showed a close relationship with local culture. A total of six traditional millet cultivars (Tarreang) with different morphological characteristics have been found in this region and still preserved sustainably by the local farmers along with their local culture and traditions. The tradition of Sayyang pattu’duq may become a good example of this relationship. In this tradition, some traditional food is made by the local people like porridge tarreang, jelly tarreang, buras tarreang, jepa golla mamea, jepa anjoroi, dodol tarreang, also widely presented and used as a symbol in important ceremonies, such as celebrations in the month of Muharram, completed Al-Qur'an for children, weddings, births or show the baby's. This information may be useful as guidance for conservation and millet breeding programs in the future.

Foxtail millet: a potential crop to meet future demand scenario for alternative sustainable protein

“…No immune cross‐reactivity with gliadin (gluten) epitope, which is known to be associated with coeliac disease, was observed with millet (species was not specified) 74 . Also, traditional preparations of foxtail millet by local communities is quite historical, which seems to serve as testament to support the aforementioned facts 75 . There is limited information on the immune response to foxtail millet proteins, except for case reports concluding that, though millet allergy is rare but occurs as air‐borne allergic reactions in bird cage keepers, 76 it may develop in wheat‐induced anaphylaxis reaction by cross‐reactivity between millet and wheat antigen 77 .…”

“…Jewawut memiliki kemampuan adaptasi pada lingkungan beriklim tropis maupun subtropis termasuk di Indonesia (Kole, 2017). Di Indonesia, jewawut dapat ditemukan dibeberapa wilayah diantaranya di Sulawesi Barat (Ramlah et al, 2020), Sulawesi Selatan, Bangka Belitung, Pulau Buru, Nusa Tenggara Timur, dan Jawa Tengah (Balitsereal, 2017), Papua (Tirajoh, 2015), Bengkulu, Sumatera Selatan, dan Jawa Barat (Miswarti et al, 2012).…”

“…Di Indonesia, jewawut memiliki beberapa kultivar lokal yang beragam, banyak ditanam sebagai pakan burung (Nurmala, 2003), dan diolah oleh masyarakat lokal setempat menjadi beberapa produk makanan khas daerah seperti dodol, apang, bolu, baje', bagea, balundake, gogos, katirimandi, kareppe', putu, dan bubur (Ramlah, et al, 2020). Alimuddin (2014) menyatakan bahwa di Sulawesi Barat selain bubur dan dodol, jewawut juga diolah menjadi burasa, sokkol, bronis, kripik, jepa dan ondeonde.…”

“…Sebagai penghasil aren, posisi daya saing dari Desa Sambaliwali masih lemah dan perkembangan agroindustri aren masih sulit untuk berkembang. Hal tersebut, masih terhambat oleh berbagai tantangan dan permasalahan seperti rendahnya produktivitas plasma nutfah lokal (Ramlah et al 2020). Di samping itu pasar yang belum terbentuk, kemampuan daya saing yang masih lemah, serta kemampuan penguasaan teknologi masih menjadi kendala.…”
