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.

Abstract

Tembawang forest is a form of local wisdom practiced by the people of Kalimantan in managing land sustainably, preserving high biodiversity, including aromatic plants. One of the tembawang forests that holds potential for aromatic plants and is utilized by battra (traditional healers) is the Bengap Tembawang Forest, located in Sape Village, Sanggau Regency. This study aims to identify the species of aromatic plants found in the Tembawang Bengap Forest, Sape Village, Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan. The method used is qualitative descriptive with an exploratory approach through semi-structured interviews with battra (traditional healers), followed by species identification in the field based on morphological and organoleptic characteristics. The results of the study revealed 13 aromatic plant species from 8 botanical families, with growth forms consisting of trees (7 species), herbs (5 species), and shrubs (1 species). The plant parts used include leaves, stems, roots, and fruits. Their utilization is classified into two main functions: as traditional medicine for coughs, fevers, and digestive disorders, and as food ingredients and cooking spices. These findings highlight the importance of aromatic plants for battra in traditional medicine and daily culinary practices, while also demonstrating the functional and cultural values of aromatic plants in the tembawang ecosystem.

Abstract

Wood damage caused by the ground termite Coptotermes curvignathus and the rotting fungus Schizophyllum commune is a major problem in the tropics. This study aims to evaluate the anti-termite and anti-fungal activity of the ethanol extract of Melastoma malabathricum leaves as a natural wood preservative. Extraction was carried out by the maceration method, and the extracts were tested at 2–10% concentration using a Complete Random Design with three replicates. Termite mortality and weight loss of the test paper were observed for 21 days, while inhibition of fungal growth was observed for 7 days. Data were statistically analyzed using the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test and the Pairwise Comparisons follow-up test with Bonferroni correction at 95% confidence level (p<0.05). The results showed that extract concentration significantly increased termite mortality (p = 0.005) and anti-fungal activity (p = 0.006). However, the treatment had no significant effect on test paper weight loss (p = 0.072). The 10% concentration resulted in the highest termite mortality (36.36%) and the highest anti-fungal activity (88.23%), and was the only treatment to show a statistically significant difference compared with the control. Based on follow-up test results, a 10% concentration is recommended as optimal due to its clear effectiveness in providing biological protection. These results show that the ethanol extract of Melastoma malabathricum leaves has the potential to serve as an environmentally friendly natural wood preservative

Abstract

Essential oils are one of the important non-timber forest products (NTFPs), produced by plants as secondary metabolites. Plants of the Myrtaceae family are well known for producing essential oils, and Syzygium is one of its prominent genera. Species from this genus, namely Syzygium polyanthum (Salam), S. myrtifolium (Pucuk Merah), and S. aqueum (Jambu Air) are common plants that are widely cultivated as ornamentals, spices, and fruit-bearing species, and they possess significant potential as sources of essential oils. This study aimed to determine (1) the yield of essential oils from the leaves of three Syzygium species, and (2) to identify the chemical components of the obtained essential oils. The leaves of the three species were distilled using steam and water distillation to extract essential oils. The oil yield was calculated, and its chemical constituents were analyzed with GC-MS. The results showed that the highest essential oil yield was obtained from S. aqueum (0.167%), followed by S. polyanthum (0.080%) and S. myrtifolium (0.061%). The essential oil of S. myrtifolium contained the greatest number of compounds (65), followed by S. aqueum (46 compounds) and S. polyanthum (18 compounds). The main constituents of S. polyanthum essential oil were caryophyllene (40.79% rel.) and humulene (17.61% rel.); S. myrtifolium oil was dominated by 3- carene (20.05% rel.) and caryophyllene (16.45% rel.); while S. aqueum oil was mainly composed of 3- carene (23.58% rel.) and caryophyllene (18.96% rel.). Caryophyllene was identified as one of the principal compounds common to all three Syzygium species.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of bagasse-activated charcoal for reduced formaldehyde emissions and their effect on the physical, mechanical, and biological properties of particleboard. Activated charcoal was made by carbonizing bagasse at 300&deg;C for 2.5 h, followed by carbon activation using a 0.1M HCl solution for 24 h. Particleboards were made of a mixture of bagasse and wood particles with a ratio of 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100. The concentrations of activated charcoal used in manufacturing particleboards were 2, 4, and 6% based on the dry weight of the particles. Particleboards were made with a target density of 0.7 g/cm3 and hot-pressed at 140&deg;C for 10 min with a pressure of 35 kg/cm2. The observed parameters were formaldehyde emission levels, physical properties, mechanical properties, and biological properties of particleboards. The results showed that the more activated charcoal added in the manufacture of particleboards decreased formaldehyde emissions of the panel. Based on the SNI 5008.2:2016, the overall formaldehyde emission value of particleboard in this study with activated charcoal is in the F* category. The addition of activated charcoal improved the physical, mechanical, and biological properties of particleboards in terms of increased density, decreased water content, water absorption, and thickness swelling, increased modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, internal bonding, and screw withdrawal, as well as increased resistance to termites. The particleboard with the addition of 6% activated charcoal showed better mechanical, physical, and biological properties. All physical and mechanical properties of particleboard met the JIS A 5908-2003 Type 8 standards, except for the modulus of elasticity.
