Abstract

This study aims to identify the species of the Zingiberaceae family found in the Durin Serugun Village Forest and determine their potential use by the local community, especially in the food and health sectors. The methods used were field exploration, interviews with the Karo people, phytochemical tests to detect secondary metabolites in Zingiberaceae rhizomes, and dendogram analysis to determine the phylogenetic relationships between species. The results showed that there are 13 Zingiberaceae species with morphological characteristics and secondary metabolite content such as alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and flavonoids. The community uses rhizomes for traditional medicine to treat various diseases and as a kitchen spice. Dendogram analysis divided the species into two main clusters that reflect morphological similarities and phylogenetic relationships. This study provides an overview of traditional uses as well as the conservation value of Zingiberaceae diversity in the area.
