Abstract

The increasing number of diabetes mellitus cases every year is alarming for every country. More than 90% of the cases are type-2 diabetes mellitus. The range of diabetes mellitus patients is at a productive age, including in Indonesia. Type-2 diabetes mellitus can be managed by reducing postprandial glucose levels. The approach inhibits α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes. A preliminary study on the local edible plants in Solok district, Etlingera elatior, showed potential against the α-glucosidase enzyme by TLC-bioautography screening. The essential oils from the inflorescence of E. elatior were extracted by hydro-distillation. The analysis of components from the essential oils identified 20 compounds. GC-MS data showed that the highest abundance percentages were 1-dodecanol (39.79%), dodecanal (28.20%), α-pinene (13.11%), decanal (4.16%), and dodecanol acetate (2.75%). The inhibition against the α-glucosidase enzyme obtains the IC50 value of 73.95 and 67.55 ?g/mL for the essential oils and acarbose, respectively. The inhibition against the α-amylase enzyme obtains the IC50 value of 70.87 and 12.28 ?g/mL for the essential oils and acarbose, respectively. The essential oils from the inflorescence of E. elatior could inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes, even though the potential was lower than that of acarbose as a positive control.

Abstract

Indonesia's diabetes cases were in the top ten list globally, with 90% of the patients being type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).  An approach for screening the local edible plants is made for managing or treating T2DM by inhibiting α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzymes. Results showed that inflorescence of Etlingera elatior inhibition toward both enzymes. TLC-autography and IC50 value of fractions from E. elatior were used to identify the potential fractions and possible compounds for the activity. The non-polar fraction was spotted in the active substances based on TLC-autography. Then, the targeted compounds were separated by column chromatography to obtain stigmasterol as one of the active compounds. The IC50 values of total extract, n-hexane, EtOAc, BuOH, and isolated compound against α-glucosidase were 16.0, 7.5, 13.5, 9.7, and 2.0 ppm, respectively. The IC50 values for α-amylase inhibition were respectively 88.6, 48.6, 23.2, 29.1, and 27.5 ppm. The positive control (acarbose) against α-glucosidase and amylase exhibited IC50 values of 153.2 and 12.3 ppm. The inhibition of E. elatior against the two enzymes could be an alternative to delay carbohydrate absorption.

Abstract

Singgalang cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) is a local vegetable native to West Sumatra, cultivated in highlands around Mount Singgalang, Tanah Datar. Vegetables from Brassica genus are recognized for their high nutritional value and potential as functional foods. Key secondary metabolites in Brassica species, i.e., phenolic compounds and their derivatives, play a crucial role in antioxidant activity and are essential in promoting health. Light exposure, particularly ultraviolet-B (UV-B, 280-315 nm), can enhance biosynthesis of these compounds. UV-B intensity affects various process in plants including the phenylpropanoid pathway involved in secondary metabolite production. This study aimed to assess the expression of the CHALCONE SYNTHASE (CHS) gene under different UV-B intensities (0.3–3.0 µmol·m-2·s-1, 4 h) and examine the effects of two extreme UV-B intensities (0.3 and 3.0 µmol·m-2·s-1, 4h.d-1) in a controlled environment for 14 days. The results showed that increasing UV-B intensity enhanced CHS expression (1.0 and 3.0 µmol·m-2·s-1 showed thicker bands compared to 0.3 µmol·m-2·s-1, with a faint band in the control). Extreme UV-B exposure reduced chlorophyll content by 35–37% compared to the control, while carotenoids remained unaffected. Anthocyanin accumulation increased under low-intensity UV-B, whereas flavonoid levels were higher under high-intensity UV-B, suggesting different functional roles. UV-B exposure also influenced stomatal number and density in leaf. This preliminary study highlights the significant role of UV-B in enhancing specific metabolites in Singgalang cabbage, supporting its potential as a functional food.

Abstract

Homalomena is a genus from the family Aracaceae that is characterized by scent. Most Homalomena species from Indonesia have limited information on the chemical components of their essential oils, including those found in West Sumatra Province. The species of Homalomena aff. pendula (Blume) Bakh. F. is found in large amounts in Padang city, and it has the potential to explore its profile of essential oil substances in its leaves, petioles, and rhizomes. In this research, the antioxidant activity of the essential oils was screened using three methods: DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP. The essential oils are extracted through hydro-distillation, and their components are analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The results show that the three major components in the leaves and petioles were β-bisabolene, α-selinene, and α-bergamotene with different percentages. The rhizomes had the same higher component as β-bisabolene, followed by trans-caryophyllene and α-bergamotene. The antioxidant activity, as measured by DPPH and ABTS, showed an IC50 greater than 200 μg/mL. That result is also supported by the FRAP value of leaves, petioles, and rhizomes, 0.165±0.0081;  0.168±0.0019;  0.191±0.0003 µmol Fe(II)/mg sample and 0.013±0.0006; 0.014±0.0001; 0.015±0.0001 µmol trolox/mg sample, respectively. Although the essential oils from H. aff. pendula do not exhibit antioxidant activity, the primary compound, β-bisabolene, has been shown to possess other potential activities.

Abstract

Stunting is a critical public health issue in Indonesia. Despite various nutrition programs, the utilization of nutritious local foods, such as Moringa oleifera leaves, has not been maximized due to limited public awareness and inadequate education. This activity aims to increase public knowledge of the nutritional content and benefits of Moringa leaves for preventing stunting, and to provide training in processing Moringa into healthy foods. Methods: The activity was conducted on October 4, 2025, in Gantiang Village, Padang Panjang City. The target group comprised housewives, health care workers, and caregivers of toddlers. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, as well as surveys of participant satisfaction and interest. Results: Following the educational and processing demonstration, participants' knowledge increased significantly; the program was deemed highly beneficial, and most expressed interest in incorporating Moringa leaf preparations into their family menus. Conclusion: Education and training in Moringa leaf processing have been effective in increasing public knowledge and interest in using Moringa as a nutritious food, thereby potentially supporting efforts to prevent stunting. For sustainability, it is recommended that this program be integrated into integrated health posts (Posyandu) and that further training be conducted to ensure that Moringa leaf consumption becomes a regular part of family eating habits.
