Abstract

Spices have many benefits, especially as additional ingredients in cooking, traditional medicine and raw materials for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. This study aims to identify forest plant species utilized as spices by women in Benua Kencana Village, Sintang Regency, and to understand their usage and processing practices. The research employed a survey method with semi-structured interviews involving 161 female respondents. Data analysis was conducted using Use Value (UV) and Fidelity Level (FL) to assess the degree of utilization and community trust in forest spice plants. The results indicate that the utilized plant parts include leaves, stems, fruits, and bark, serving various functions such as flavor enhancers (sweet, sour, and aromatic), tenderizers, preservatives, and neutralizers in cooking. The plants with the highest UV values (1.00) were Garcinia xanthochynus (asam kandis) and Pycnarrhena cauliflora (sengkubak), while those with the highest FL values (100%) included Pycnarrhena cauliflora (sengkubak), Eryngium foetidum (sumpak laut), Garcinia xanthochynus (asam kandis), Baccaurea motleyana (rambai), and Baccaurea angulata (benit). Women play a dominant role in the management and utilization of these spices, particularly in selecting, processing, and passing down knowledge about their uses. This study highlights the importance of documenting and preserving local knowledge to support food security and the conservation of natural resources.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Melaleuca leucadendra (Gelam) bark extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis. Bark samples were collected from Karimunting Village, Bengkayang Regency, and extracted using maceration with 96% ethanol. Antibacterial testing was conducted using the disc diffusion method on MHA (Mueller Hinton Agar), with bacterial suspensions adjusted to McFarland standard 1. The results showed that the extract exhibited concentration-dependent antibacterial activity. The highest inhibition zones were observed at a concentration of 200 mg/mL, measuring 4.5 mm for P. aeruginosa and 3.5 mm for E. faecalis. Although the inhibitory effect was relatively low compared to the positive control (amoksilin), these findings indicate the potential of Gelam bark extract as a natural antibacterial agent. Further studies are recommended to isolate active compounds, assess toxicity, and develop formulations to enhance its antibacterial efficacy.

Abstract

Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are bacteria causing contagious diseases. Both bacteria have shown high levels of antibiotic resistance, making them essential targets in searching for new antibacterial agents from natural sources such as medicinal plants. Gelam (Melaleuca leucadendra) is a promising medicinal plant to be a new antibacterial agent. This research aims to analyze the biological activity of the methanol extract of Gelam leaves (M. leucadendra) in inhibiting the growth of E. coli and S. aureus bacteria. The Gelam leaf extract was prepared by maceration process in 96% methanol solution (1:7 ratio). The antibacterial assay was conducted using the disc diffusion method on MHA (Muller-Hinton Agar) media. Four levels of methanol leaf extract concentration were used: 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg/ml. Methanol 96% was used as negative control and amoxicillin as positive control. The highest inhibition in both bacteria tested, 1.67 mm on E. coli bacteria and 6.26 mm on S. aureus bacteria.

Abstract

Family medicinal plants (TOGA) are a form of traditional medicine still used independently by the community, especially by people living on the city's outskirts. Tebang Kacang Village is one of the villages within the administrative area of Kubu Raya Regency, but it is located on the outskirts of Pontianak. This research aims to analyze the use of family medicinal plants in the Tebang Kacang Village community, which is close to the provincial capital and has easy access to modern health facilities. A total of 311 respondents selected using purposive sampling were interviewed in-depth and with a questionnaire as a guide. They were asked about the use of family medicinal plants.The study results show that the people of Tebang Kacang Village still use medicinal plants, especially plants planted and cultivated around their home gardens and gardens or what is known as TOGA. The community used 75 species of plants belonging to 38 plant families. These plants are used not only to treat various diseases but also to care for people's health. The community also uses this family of medicinal plants as food in the form of vegetables and fruit. The people of Tebang Kacang Village mostly use the leaves (45%) and fruit (20%) of TOGA to make medicinal concoctions. These medicinal concoctions are generally prepared by grabbing (51.14%) and used by drinking (53.93%). This research shows that even though this village is relatively close to urban areas, people still choose to use medicinal plants to treat various diseases and maintain health. TOGA is the first choice of treatment.
