“…Based on some studies, a few species contain bioactive compounds with medically applicable features (Pedraza-Chaverri et al 2008;Abbasi et al 2013;Bunawan and Dusik 2013;Silalahi et al 2015;Mohanty and Pradhan 2015;Murmu et al 2016;Wiryono et al 2017;Handayani 2018;Suwardi et al 2018;Sanjayrao and Sanjay 2019;Suwardi et al 2019b). These preparations are generally produced in the form of infusions, stews, paste, juices, and dry powders, on the basis of dosages that are not standardized (Hazarika et al 2012). Therefore, it is necessary to establish the safety, effectiveness, and preservation of these highly valuable indigenous edible fruits, and also critically study the claimed therapeutic values of reported species.…”

Abstract. Suwardi AB, Navia ZI, Harmawan T, Syamsuardi, Mukhtar E. 2020. Ethnobotany and conservation of indigenous edible fruit plants in South Aceh, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 1850-1860. The traditional knowledge system is immensely important in the context of plant resource conservation, utilization, and environmental management. The objectives of this study, therefore, were to document local knowledge on the diversity, utilization and sustainable management of indigenous fruit yielding species in the South Aceh region of Indonesia. This research was based on extensive field surveys, plant collection, and interviews with the local people, and a total of 56 indigenous edible fruit species belonging to 24 families were identified. Furthermore, the recognized varieties have numerous applications and serve multiple use categories. For example, they have been adopted as food (56 species), by medicine (16 species), construction materials (14 species), furniture (13 species) and firewood (12 species). These indigenous edible fruits are mostly used in the treatment of cough, stomach ache, diarrhea, fever, and digestive problems, and the following species are commonly traded in traditional markets Durio zibethinus, Garcinia mangostana, Mangifera indica, Mangifera foetida, Mangifera odorata, Baccaurea macrophylla, and Baccaurea lanceolata. The agricultural expansion activities in South Aceh region are assumed to present significant threats to the sustainability of indigenous edible fruit species. Conservation of indigenous fruit plants can be performed through the preservation of traditional knowledge and the promotion and domestication of indigenous fruit plant species.

“…Previous studies have shown that crude methanol extracts from leaves and fruits of A. bunius have cytotoxic activity against Artemia salina [5]. Matured leaves of A. bunius have been used against snakebite and young leaves are boiled and used in syphilis and skin disorders in India [13]. Ethanolic fruit extracts of A. bunius were used as herbal drug in diabetes therapy [14].…”

In this research, we investigated the inhibitory effect of the ethanolic (EtOH) extract of bignay (Antidesma bunius) fruit on the viability of breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) by CCK-8 assay. The results showed that the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 219 μg/mL after the cells were treated with EtOH extract for 72 hours. The EtOH extract was sequentially extracted by petroleum ether (PET), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and n-butanol (nBuOH). Among them, the EtOAc fraction showed higher anti-proliferative activity than the other fractions. Wound healing experiment showed the EtOAc fraction inhibited the migration of MDA-MB-231 cells and significantly delayed the transition of the G1 to S phase compared to control. UHPLC-MS/MS analysis showed that in addition to citric acid and phenolic acids (3-Hydroxybenzoic acid, aspirin, fertaric acid), EtOH extract of bignay fruit contains active ingredient like coumarin, genistin, amentoflavone, and luteolin 7-galactoside. The anti-proliferation activity of amentoflavone against MDA-MB-231 cells was also confirmed.

“…In addition to other edible and non-edible plants in the forests, a number of wild fruits are also there which the tribal people have been using since ancient times against a number of diseases in traditional healthcare system. But, the knowledge of this valuable heritage of these fruits has been transmitted from generation to generation orally without proper documentation [6]. In many villages, these fruits also serve as source of staple food as well serve as complementary food and offers as an source of sustainable income and livelihood security [7].…”

Background Forests inhibits a large number of trees, shrubs, herbs, climbers, wealth of non-timber forest products and a good number of wild edible fruits plants. These wild edible fruits are an indispensable constituent of human and rich in vitamin, minerals, fibre, antioxidants and compounds of nutritional importance such as alkaloids, essential oils and phenolic etc. Many of them are also very good source of ethno-medicines. But, the knowledge of valuable heritage of these fruits is orally handed over from one generation to other generation years after year. Nevertheless, the folk and ethno-medicinal values of these fruits are still playing a great role in treatment of diseases but now the traditional knowledge are disappearing and losing their intrinsic values. The present study was undertaken to document wild edible fruits of Arunachal Pradesh, India, and to study the socio-economic importance of these fruits among the people of the district.Methods Extensive field surveys, plant collection, herbarium preparations and personal interviews with the traditional healers as well as local people from rural villages were conducted for this study. Altogether 50 wild edible fruits belonging to 31 families having medicinal and socio economic significance were reported in this study. Results Among the different families, Moraceae and Rutaceae were the dominant with 5 species, followed by Phyllanthaceae, Anacardiaceae and Rosaceae, Arecaceae, Fabaceae, Lauraceae, Primulaceae and Fagaceae. In terms of parts used, the highest used was leaves (35.58 %), followed by fruits and bark (21.51%), root (10.73 %), seed (7.53 %), latex (2.15%) and shoot (1.07%). Therapeutically, the reported wild edible fruits are used against 14 classes of diseases viz. gastrointestinal, dermatological, cardiovascular, respiratory, urogenital, ENT, Anti-venom/ insect bite, snakebite, mental and nervous disorders, minor ailments, bone disease, food poison, jaundice, cancers and allergy. They have a number of uses in the rural economy like constructional timbers, firewood, charcoal, fodder, fish poisoning, dyes, oils etc.Conclusions Although, these fruits plays an important role in the social and cultural life of the tribal people of Arunachal Pradesh, India, but this valuable species has been vanishing at a very faster rate without proper documentation. Therefore, the claimed therapeutic values of these species are to be critically studied and conserve these valuable species before their extinction.
