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

Phallus indusiatus is a macrofungus that has attracted attention because of its nutritional value and reported biological activities, including antimicrobial properties. This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of wild and cultivated P. indusiatus against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans using the disc diffusion method. Wild samples were collected from Central Java, Indonesia, whereas cultivated samples were obtained from Hong Kong. Simplicia suspensions were prepared in sterile distilled water at a concentration of 100 mg/mL and tested against the selected microorganisms. No inhibition zones were observed in any treatment, indicating that the tested samples did not exhibit detectable antimicrobial activity under the conditions applied in this study. The positive control produced a mean inhibition zone of 32 mm, while no inhibition was observed in the negative control. Gene annotation data from previously generated whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of the wild sample were also reviewed to support the interpretation of the results. The selected annotated genes were mainly associated with cellular metabolism, transcriptional regulation, respiration, and metabolite transport. However, the genomic analysis was limited to a small number of annotated genes and was used only as supporting information. Overall, the findings suggest that aqueous suspensions of P. indusiatus simplicia did not show detectable antimicrobial activity against the tested microorganisms under the experimental conditions employed.
