Abstract

Mangifera foetida, commonly referred to as bacang, is a tropical fruit tree of the Anacardiaceae family widely used in traditional medicine throughout Southeast Asia for a variety of therapeutic purposes. Recent scientific studies have validated many of these ethnomedicinal uses by uncovering a diverse phytochemical composition alongside notable pharmacological activities. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the nutritional content, bioactive compounds, and pharmacological effects of M. foetida, with particular focus on its antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Key secondary metabolites, including mangiferin, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and essential oils, are believed to underpin its therapeutic efficacy. Moreover, the fruit and other plant parts provide considerable nutritional benefits, supplying essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Despite these promising findings, further investigations are needed to clarify underlying mechanisms, improve extraction techniques, and evaluate clinical effectiveness. This review seeks to establish a comprehensive reference to support future research and facilitate the development of M. foetida-derived nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract

This high level of organic waste poses significant environmental risks if left unmanaged. Therefore, there is a need for waste management strategies that are simple, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable. One such approach is vermiculture the cultivation of earthworms to convert organic waste into nutrient-rich vermicompost. Integrating Effective Microorganisms (EM4) and tomato waste into cattle manure feed has the potential to enhance nutrient bioavailability through microbial fermentation, which in turn supports earthworm metabolism and growth. This study aims to evaluate the productivity of Lumbricus rubellus and the efficiency of vermicompost production under different feed formulations. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) with four feed treatments: cow manure (P1), cow manure + EM4 (P2), cow manure + tomato waste (P3), and cow manure + tomato waste + EM4 (P4), with three replications per treatment. The observed parameters included earthworm weight, earthworm length, vermicompost production, and proximate analysis of earthworm biomass. This study also assesses the impact of these feed combinations on the growth performance of L. rubellus and the resulting vermicompost yield, within the agroclimatic conditions of Pangalengan. Additionally, the nutritional composition of the harvested earthworm biomass is evaluated to explore its potential as a supplementary protein source for livestock feed contributing to sustainable and circular agricultural practices in dairy farming systems.

Abstract

The utilization of cow manure can reduce environmental pollution around livestock farms. One way to utilize cow manure is by turning it into solid organic fertilizer. The quality of solid organic fertilizer is determined by various factors, including the raw materials, fermentation methods, and composting time. The aim of this study is to improve the quality of solid organic fertilizer using a decomposer. The production of solid organic fertilizer in this study was carried out in two ways: first, by turning the cow manure every 10 days for 40 days (A), and second, using a decomposer with ratio of 1 Liter/3 tons to the cow manure and then turning it every 10 days for 40 days (B). The results showed an increase in C-organic content by 9.56%, nitrogen by 42.02% , phosphate by 19.00% and potassium by 6.56%. This indicates that the addition of a decomposer in the composting process can improve the quality of solid organic fertilizer.

Abstract

Jamur Phallus sp. termasuk dalam ordo Phallales dan tersebar di berbagai wilayah Indonesia. Kajian literatur ini bertujuan untuk memetakan pola persebaran geografis serta menganalisis faktor lingkungan yang mendukung keberadaannya. Metode penelitian dilakukan melalui pencarian artikel ilmiah di Google Scholar dan aplikasi Publish or Perish, kemudian data dari penelitian terdahulu diolah dengan pendekatan meta-analisis. Faktor lingkungan seperti suhu, kelembapan, intensitas cahaya, dan pH substrat dianalisis untuk memperoleh nilai rata-rata beserta standar error. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Phallus sp. ditemukan di Sumatera, Jawa, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali, dan Papua. Persebaran ini dipengaruhi oleh iklim tropis, kelembapan tinggi, ketersediaan substrat organik, serta keberadaan hutan alami. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa keragaman habitat di Indonesia memberikan peluang besar bagi kelestarian dan eksplorasi spesies jamur tersebut sebagai bagian dari kekayaan biodiversitas nasional.

Abstract

MTNR in Pangalengan, West Java, is a conservation area with high biodiversity that is increasingly pressured by tourism and agricultural activities, which may affect air quality. This study aimed to examine the relationship between air quality and lichen diversity as bioindicators of air pollution. A descriptive exploratory method was applied at four site types representing different levels of human activity: forest, roadside, plantation, and tourist areas. The results showed that microclimatic conditions and air quality at all sites were classified as good according to Government Regulation No. 22/2021. However, lichen diversity and thallus composition varied among sites in response to environmental conditions. Crustose lichens dominated roadside and plantation areas with higher environmental stress, while foliose and fruticose lichens were more abundant in forest areas characterized by lower temperatures, higher humidity, and minimal pollution. The presence of sensitive species such as Usnea sp. and Ramalina sp. indicated superior air quality in forest sites. In conclusion, lichen distribution reflects an air quality gradient across the study area, confirming the effectiveness of lichens as reliable bioindicators for ecological monitoring in conservation areas.

Abstract

Gout is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated uric acid levels that can cause inflammation and joint pain. In recent years, the incidence of gout has increased, including among younger populations, highlighting the need for alternative and complementary treatments. This study aimed to explore the ethnobotanical knowledge of medicinal plants used by the community of Ujungberung District, Bandung City, in the management of gout. This research employed a qualitative ethnobotanical approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and literature review involving 20 selected informants using purposive sampling. The study was conducted from December 2025 to January 2026. The results identified nine medicinal plant species commonly used to treat gout, with ginger, turmeric, and bay leaf being the most frequently utilized. The plants were mainly processed by boiling, and their use was based on traditional knowledge passed down through generations. These plants contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, curcuminoids, and essential oils, which are known to have anti-inflammatory and uric acid–lowering properties. In conclusion, the community in Ujungberung District continues to rely on medicinal plants as a complementary therapy for gout management. This study emphasizes the importance of documenting ethnobotanical knowledge and highlights the potential of local medicinal plants as accessible and affordable alternatives for gout treatment.
