Abstract

The utilization of banana peels as a natural remedy for minor burn wound healing and antimicrobial activity has garnered increasing attention amidst the growing interest in plant-based traditional medicine. This study investigated the bioactive components present in banana peels, including flavonoids, tannins, and polyphenols, which contribute to wound healing and the prevention of infections. Conducted as a community engagement initiative in Jemur Wonosari Sub-district, Surabaya, the activity was designed to be replicable at the household level using simple tools and locally available materials. The preparation process involved cleaning the peels, heating them with virgin coconut oil, and optionally adding natural honey to enhance antibacterial properties. Findings highlight the potential of banana peels as an effective natural burn ointment with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, while also supporting circular economy principles through the utilization of agricultural waste. Further research is needed to standardize formulations and clinically validate the widespread use of ointments based on banana peels.

Abstract. Hidayat R, Nugrahani P, Maghfiroh RN. 2025. Flowering response of torch ginger (Etlingera elatior) to PK fertilization. Biodiversitas 26: 6305-6315. Demand for the flowers of Etlingera elatior has increased, but predictable and timely flowering is constrained by its naturally long vegetative phase. This research aimed to determine the combined effect of dosage and frequency of PK compound fertilizer in inducing flowering in torch ginger. The field trial was carried out at Dapoer Ketjombrang Garden, Giripurno Village, Bumiaji District, Batu City, East Java, Indonesia, from December 2023 to April 2024. A factorial experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design (two factors: dosage (D): 50, 100, 150, 200 g/clump; frequency (F): 1, 2, 3 applications at 30, 30+45, and 30+45+60 DAT, respectively) with three replicates (36 plots, 3 plants/plot, total 108 plants) was used. Data were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA (dosage, frequency, dosage×frequency), and means were compared using Tukey’s HSD (α: 0.05). The combination D4F2 (200 g, 2x at 30 and 45 DAT) produced the earliest flowering (mean 21.89 DAT). The dosage D3 (150 g) produced the best vegetative growth and, when combined with F2, gave the highest number of flowers (23.78 flowers/clump). Dosage effects were significant (p<0.05) for several traits; frequency had limited main effects, but dosage×frequency interactions were observed. The highest C:N ratio, antioxidant level, and vitamin C were observed at D4; regression between C:N and flowering age showed R²: 0.92 (p: 0.041). Overall, applying 150-200 g PK fertilizer per clump in two applications (30 and 45 DAT) provides an effective strategy to induce earlier flowering and increase flower productivity under the conditions tested. Multi-season and multi-site validation is recommended before making broad recommendations.
