Abstract

Underexploited wild food plant (WFP) species have a high potential to contribute to nutritional and/or medicinal health, generate income, and sustain the environment. The objective of this study was to identify market-available WFP species and characterize their beneficial use and economic values in northwestern Cambodia. Two hundred seventy-five (275) retailers in Battambang and Siem Reap were interviewed to collect data on wild food plant species availability and their values. Thirty-four (34) plant species were identified as WFP species, including annual and perennial herbs, perennial shrubs, vines, and trees. Leave, shoots, stems, rhizomes, corms, flowers, and fruits were the parts of the plant used for cooked dishes. Most of the parts used (92.4%) were collected from the wild, while 7.6% were reported as cultivated. The plant species are high in vitamin A, C, a good source of minerals, and can be used as traditional medicine. To enhance health and alleviate the ‘hidden hunger’ of micronutrient malnutrition, Cambodia should promote the production and dietary incorporation of wild food plants rich in minerals and vitamins.

Abstract

Protein is one of the substances of nutrition macro that is needed by the body are known to contain bioactive peptides. Protein sources can be from vegetables and animals, based on research an animal protein sources more complete, balanced, easily digested and absorbed than vegetable protein sources. Some sources of animal protein (milk, eggs, meat, and products derived and processed) were reported that contain of bioactive peptides. Bioactive peptide has effect as antimicrobial, antithrombotic, antihypertensive, opioid, immunomodulatory, binder minerals, antioxidants, and prevent mental health disorder. The purpose of this paper is to review the peptide bioactive, relationship of mental health with peptide bioactive, and prevention of mental helath problems with bioactive peptide from animal protein sources. Peptides bioactive is an organic substance that is formed by amino acids (2-30 pieces) with the bond of the peptide and the weight of the molecule is small (unit Dalton). Mental health is the condition of the welfare (well-being) of an individual that is aware of its ability to own, can cope with the pressure of life which is normal, can work in a productive and can give a contribution to the community. Peptides bioactive shows such as opioids and inhibit the activity of the enzyme prolyl endopeptidase (PEP, EC 3.4.21.26) that play a role important in the treatment of disorders of the mind because work on the system nerve central (CNS) and can give the effect of a positive on motivation, behavior, stress, control the intake of food or the perception of the sense of pain. Some proteins of animal that has been proven to be able to prevent mental health problems namely, bovine, yogurt, and fresh milk. Still a lot of opportunities in the business of exploration of the source of the protein animal in producing the product peptide bioactive for commercial.

Abstract

The tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a Tobamovirus that can infect cucumber plants. There is limited information about the response of cucumber varieties against TMV infection. The research was conducted to evaluate the response of cucumber varieties to TMV infection using TMV isolates from Bogor. The evaluation of resistance to TMV isolates was conducted by sap transmission method using TMV isolates from Bogor that propagated on tobacco as the source of inoculum. Variable observations covered the period of incubation (the day after inoculation/DAI), the symptoms of the disease, disease incidence, and disease severity. The presence of viral infection was observed through the accumulation of starch and inclusions bodies. Based on the results of the research, the TMV isolate was able to infect systematically all tested plants with symptoms of which appear in the form of mosaic light to heavy with the incidence of the disease reaching 100%. Response of cucumbers varieties to TMV isolate can be categorized into resistant (Bandana F1, Neptun, and Pandu), tolerant (Ethan F1), and susceptible (Vario F1).

Abstract

Fusarium oxysporum is the pathogenic cause of the disease on chili plants that can reduce production in the cultivation process that needs to be done to control an environmentally friendly manner using endophytic fungi. This study aims to test the inhibition, the mechanism of antagonism, and pathogenicity of eleven endophytic fungi origin of pepper plants Bengkulu province against the pathogen Fusarium oxysporum in vitro. Research conducted in the Laboratory of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bengkulu from December 2020 to February 2021. The study consists of: the rejuvenation of the fungi isolates of endophytic and fungi pathogens Fusarium oxysporum, dual culture test, the mechanism of antagonism test, as well as pathogenesis endophytic fungi test. Endophytic fungi isolate obtained from the collection of the laboratory of Plant Protection, University of Bengkulu. The results of the research show from eleven endophytic fungi only 1 endophytic fungi which has a percentage of inhibition of 50% of the isolates of Rhizoctonia sp.2. The mechanism of antagonism occurs consisting of the competition between the space of nutrients and oxygen, hiperparasitisme, and antibiosis. patogenensitas test show only isolates of Rhizoctonia sp.2 that do not produce patches on the chili seeds.

Abstract

The fulfillment of carbohydrate needs encourages people to gravitate toward higher-value menu items, such as animal protein. The ever-increasing human demand for animal protein is related to the human need for nutrition. To know and understand what consumers need and want, business actors must keep an eye on market developments, which can change at any time in response to shifting consumer needs. Therefore, business actors need to study carefully about consumers. This research aims to examine consumer perceptions of salted fish products in Bengkulu City. The research location was determined purposively, and 30 consumers were selected using accidental sampling. Consumer perception of salted fish is analyzed based on product attributes, namely taste, price, aroma, packaging, and services, measured using a Likert Scale. The results showed that salted fish products consumers in Bengkulu City have a good perception of overall product attributes.
