Abstract

The fruit of the berry (Crescentia cujete) had been widely known by the community. However, the use of this fruit had not been widely explored, especially related to the morphology and anatomy of the fruit, which supported its potential as a sustainable basic material. This study aimed to study the morphology and anatomy of berenuk fruit and explore its use as a basic material for crafts and household tools. The method used was qualitative descriptive, and the sampling technique was purposive sampling. Data was collected through field surveys, interviews with local artisans, and direct observation of the processing and utilization process of berenuk fruits. The data was reinforced through literature studies. The results of the study showed that Berenuk Fruit had great potential in diversifying the local economy, creating business opportunities, and supporting environmental conservation. The morphology and anatomy of the berenuk fruit, such as its hard skin and wide inner cavity, strongly supported the use of this fruit as a raw material for crafts and household tools. Furthermore, it was very necessary to increase people's knowledge and skills regarding processing techniques to maximize the use of berenuk fruit, as well as a good marketing strategy so that this fruit-based product could compete in a wider market.

Abstract

White jasmine (Jasminum sambac) holds strong symbolic and cultural value in various traditional ceremonies in Serang City. This study aims to examine its ethnobotanical role and conservation efforts to preserve its cultural significance and ecological sustainability. A descriptive qualitative method was used with purposive sampling, involving experienced jasmine flower artisans as participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation, then analyzed qualitatively. The results show that white jasmine is used in wedding rituals, purification ceremonies, funerals, and offerings—reflecting spiritual, aesthetic, and medicinal meanings. Its morphological features and active compounds such as linalool and benzyl acetate support its role in tradition and healing. Conservation efforts include sustainable cultivation, public education, and reinforcing cultural values in environmental preservation. This study underscores the importance of integrating cultural heritage and biodiversity conservation to maintain local flora as part of intangible cultural assets.
