Abstract

Calcium is one of the essential minerals for the body, especially in the elderly and pregnant women. Using natural materials containing calcium is very important, especially natural materials that are only used as waste, such as watermelon rind. Watermelon rind has a calcium of 31 mg. Therefore, it is very efficient to be used. The manufacture of this osteoporosis drug does not refer to calcium from watermelon rind extract alone. However, it is supported by other herbal ingredients such as rhizomes (ginger, curcuma, turmeric, and fingerroot). The method of extracting calcium from watermelon rind used the destruction method. After being extracted, the extraction and some mixed with the rhizomes were tested, such as calcium levels, XRF, XRD, and FTIR tests. The result of the study showed that all samples were confirmed to have calcium. High calcium content of 13.30 percent was found in the watermelon rind extract sample from watermelon fruit measuring 6 kg mixed with rhizomes. All samples' calcium level test results had a dominant value of 495 ppm.DOI: 10.17977/um024v8i12023p001

Abstract

ARTICLE HIGLIGHTS- The palm genus Pinanga is the most diverse in Southeast Asia. - Limited ecological studies on Pinanga show the influence of environmental factors.- High Pinanga endemism in Borneo requires conservation action.ABSTRACTPalms represent some of the keystone species in tropical forests, providing numerous ecosystem services. They are widely studied by botanists because of their iconic and majestic appearance, although ecological studies of palm abundance, distributions, and diversity have only recently begun to gain attention. The abundance and diversity of palms at different spatial scales can be influenced by various factors, such as climate, soil properties, hydrology, topography and forest structure; understanding these influences is essential for conservation. This review details four abiotic factors (climate, soil chemistry, hydrology and topography) and one biotic factor (forest structure) affecting palm distribution and diversity. The genus Pinanga, one of the most diverse genera of palms, is discussed in terms of its distribution and diversity in Southeast Asia. Ecological studies on Pinanga diversity in the region are examined, revealing the influence of micro- and macro-scale variation in environmental factors, such as litter depth and thickness, canopy openness and crown cover, elevation, slope, aspect, light intensity, humidity and air temperature. The existing knowledge gaps on Pinanga ecology in Southeast Asia are discussed, and the need for more studies on population structures, functional traits and determinants of Pinanga diversity and distributions within different lowland forest types in the region are highlighted. The high endemism shown by Pinanga necessitates a more comprehensive ecological understanding of this genus to better inform its conservation and protection.
