Abstract

The processing of velvet beans (Mucuna pruriens) from Timor is traditionally done by boiling them repeatedly twelve times before consumption due to concerns about their antinutrient content. On the other hand, earlier research indicated that velvet beans possess bioactive compounds that may serve as antioxidant and antidiabetic agents. The purpose of this study was to identify the bioactive components in extracts of velvet beans grown by the Timorese community, assess the overall levels of secondary metabolite compounds, and evaluate their bioactivities through in vitro antioxidant and hyperglycemia tests. Velvet beans samples were extracted using maceration, soaking them in ethanol and n-hexane solvents, followed by qualitative phytochemical analysis. Additionally, quantitative determination of secondary metabolites was performed, along with pharmacological activity tests, which included assessing antioxidant activity and antidiabetic effects through the spectrophotometric method. The findings revealed that the local Timor velvet beans extract contained flavonoid compounds at a concentration of 12.77 ± 3.10 mg QE/g, while the levels of phenolic and tannin compounds in the extract could not be quantified due to an absorbance lower than the y-intercept. The DPPH test demonstrated that the antioxidant activity of the local Timor velvet beans extract was measured at 1,964.51 ppm, which is categorized as very weak in comparison to the standard ascorbic acid solution that registered a value of 5.39, classified as very strong. The antidiabetic assessment indicated that the extract could inhibit the activity of the α-glucosidase enzyme at a concentration of 1,000 ppm by 28.60 ± 1.10%, which is categorized as very weak relative to the results from acarbose. Further investigation is necessary to optimize the bioactive compounds and identify the content of anti-nutritional compounds, as well as to explore effective methods of processing local Timor velvet beans that can reduce the antinutritional compounds.

Abstract

Wilayah Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) didominasi lahan kering​ namun terbatas untuk pertanian, sehingga diperlukan penerapan vertikultur sistem fertigasi untuk mengatasi masalah di lahan kering dengan mengkaji formulasi media tanam dan kosentrasi pupuk serta pengaturan interval baris tanam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan pupuk N dengan media dan baris tanam yang optimal terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman pakcoy dalam budidaya vertikultur sistem fertigasi di lahan kering. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Rancangan Petak Terbagi dua faktor, yaitu pupuk dengan media dan baris tanam. Pupuk dengan media terbagi atas: kombinasi tanah 50% : biochar + kompos 50% dengan urea 0,75 g/L + POC 30 mL/L + BPN 7,5 mL/L; kombinasi tanah 50% : biochar + kompos 50% dengan urea 0,5 g/L + POC 20 mL/L + BPN 5 mL/L; kombinasi tanah 25% : biochar + kompos 75% dengan urea 0,75 g/L + POC 30 mL/L + BPN 7,5 mL/L; dan kombinasi tanah 25% : biochar + kompos 75% dengan urea 0,5 g/L + POC 20 mL/L + BPN 5 mL/L, Baris tanam terbagi atas: baris tanam pertama, kedua, dan ketiga, Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi media tanam tanah 25% : biochar+kompos 75% dengan pupuk urea 0,75 g/L + POC 30 mL/L + BPN 7,5 mL/L dan baris tanam kedua mampu merupakan perlakuan yang optimal dalam meningkatkan pertumbuhan pakcoy di lahan kering melalui budidaya vertikultur dengan sistem fertigasi. Penelitian ini menjadi informasi penting untuk pertanian dalam pengetahuan memilih konsentrasi pupuk dengan komposisi media dan penempatan baris tanam pada budidaya tanaman pakcoy sistem vertikultur di lahan kering.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the response of three mung bean varieties to the correct dose of cow dung and to obtain the correct dose of cow dung for the growth and yield of three mung bean varieties. The design used in this study was a factorial randomized block design (RBD), 3 × 3 × 3. The first factor is the type of green bean variety, which consists of three levels, namely fore belu variety, wilzec variety, and mungo variety hepper. The second factor is the cow dung dose, which consists of 3 levels, namely 0 t / ha, 15 t / ha, 30 t / ha. The results showed that there is an interaction between the treatment of mung bean varieties and the treatment of the dosage of cow dung the initial observation of the soil temperature. The front belu mung bean had the highest plant growth and yield in terms of the highest plant height, the highest number of leaves, the highest dryness of the plants, the highest shell length, the highest weight of 100 seeds, the highest seed weight per plot and the highest harvest index. The dose of cow dung of 30 t / ha could change the growing environment and achieve the highest growth and yield effects. Mung bean varieties offer mixed growth and yield performance.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberdayakan masyarakat Desa Letmafo Timur, Kecamatan Insana Tengah, Kabupaten Timor Tengah Utara, melalui pelatihan pembuatan briket berbahan feses ternak dan batok lontar sebagai upaya meningkatkan perekonomian lokal dan mengurangi pencemaran lingkungan. Desa Letmafo Timur memiliki potensi sumber daya berupa limbah feses ternak dari aktivitas peternakan dan batok lontar yang melimpah, namun belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan meliputi tiga tahapan utama, yaitu (1) tahap persiapan yang mencakup koordinasi dengan pemerintah desa, survei bahan baku, dan persiapan alat serta modul pelatihan; (2) tahap pemberian materi tentang energi alternatif, pengelolaan limbah, serta manfaat ekonomi pembuatan briket; dan (3) tahap pelatihan praktik langsung pembuatan briket berbahan feses ternak dan batok lontar menggunakan teknologi sederhana. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat sangat antusias dan aktif mengikuti seluruh rangkaian pelatihan. Peserta berhasil memahami proses pembuatan briket, mulai dari pengeringan bahan, karbonisasi batok lontar, pencampuran, pencetakan, hingga pengeringan produk akhir. Briket yang dihasilkan memiliki kualitas cukup baik dengan daya nyala yang lama dan minim asap. Kegiatan ini juga meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam pengelolaan limbah serta menumbuhkan jiwa kewirausahaan berbasis potensi lokal.
