Abstract

Bandung Regency has several types of cultivated taro, with the largest production center in the Sumedang District. Semir Taro (TS0) is one of the native commodities in this region, and the other types are from the crossbreeding process between Semir Taro and Thai Silk Taro, which is named Pratama Taro (TS1 & TS2). Although it has been widely marketed and consumed by the public, the nutrient content value of this type of taro is still unknown. In addition, TS1 and TS2 have the potential to be developed into products that have higher economic value if processed optimally. This study contributes to determining the nutritious content of three taro varieties and identifies the most appropriate raw materials for the production of taro-derived products. The methods used were chemical analysis and affective organoleptic tests with paired comparison. Organoleptic tests were carried out on TS1 and TS2, and they were steamed to determine whether there was a difference between the two taros. The results of the test showed that there was no difference in the colour, aroma, and texture parameters of the two taros, but there was a difference in taste between them. While the results of the chemical analysis show that the three types of taros have a reasonably good nutrient content, because the water content is relatively high, there need to be post-harvest management efforts so that taro can be a more durable product for storage.

Abstract

Tagetes erecta also known as marigold is a domesticated plant which traditionally still in use today, both in agricultural and health aspects due to its usefulness and benefits that contains active compounds in the whole plant parts. In the agricultural sector, Tagetes erecta is widely used as a pest agent and disease control in integrated farming practices, while in the health sector, this plant is extensively used in traditional medicine, particularly in several regions in Indonesia. This study reviews the benefits related to Tagetes erecta, notably in agricultural and health sectors, in order to obtain in-depth information regarding their huge potential that has been and has not been optimally in use. Exploring data for this paper using literature studies on related journals by looking for the similarities, differences, point of view by previous research, as well as future prospects, both in local and global utilization. The literature study is also conducted to achieve study objectives. The results found that Tagetes erecta is a plant with enormous benefits, from the roots to flowers. It has distinctive characteristics of active compounds compared to other similar species. However, study on the utilization of Tagetes erecta can lead to optimizing the management of integrated farming systems, increasing food security, maintaining the local wisdom of the community, and providing knowledge about the importance of marigold. Hopefully, the utilization of Tagetes erecta in daily life able to achieve a healthy and sustainable ecosystem to achieve prosperous life in the future.
