Abstract

Gembili tuber (Dioscorea esculenta) is a local tuber crop that has not yet been optimally utilized, despite its potential as a source of bioactive compounds beneficial to human health. This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical content as well as the antioxidant and prebiotic activities of the ethanol extract of gembili tuber. Phytochemical analysis was conducted to determine the total phenolic, flavonoid, and saponin contents. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH method. The results showed that gembili extract contained high levels of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and saponins, which contributed to its antioxidant activity, with inhibition values and IC₅₀ comparable to the control. The DPPH assay revealed that the antioxidant activity of gembili tuber extract increased with increasing extract concentration. The IC₅₀ value decreased from 116.7 ± 1.7 ppm at 1000 ppm to 76.4 ± 0.8 ppm at 3000 ppm. The results of this study indicate that gembili tubers have the potential to be a source of prebiotics and natural antioxidants that can be developed as locally based functional food ingredients.

Abstract

Monitoring subsurface carbon stocks in peat soils is crucial for understanding how different land cover types contribute to carbon storage and climate change mitigation. This study aims to estimate subsurface carbon (CO₂) stocks in peatlands under various land cover conditions. Soil sampling was conducted three times in October, November, and December 2024 across managed oil palm, unmanaged oil palm, shrubland, and swamp forest land covers. Additional sampling was carried out in August, September, and October 2025 on mixed gardens and secondary forests with dense vegetation. Samples were collected based on peat decomposition levels at an approximate depth of ±400 m and analyzed in the laboratory to determine bulk density (BD) and organic carbon content (%C) using the Loss on Ignition (LOI) method. Carbon stock values were calculated and converted to CO₂ equivalents to obtain total estimates for each sampling point. Data were analyzed descriptively and statistically using One-Way ANOVA followed by the Tukey HSD post hoc test. The results revealed that managed oil palm land had the highest carbon stock 11,607.54 tons/ha, followed by unmanaged oil palm 11,107.32 tons/ha, shrubland 7,691.36 tons/ha, mixed garden 7,510.39 tons/ha, secondary forest 7,415.11 tons/ha, and swamp forest 6,872.56 tons/ha. These findings suggest that land cover type and management practices significantly affect subsurface carbon stocks, with well-managed lands tending to store higher amounts of carbon compared to natural or unmanaged areas.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect and determine the best formulation of Lindur fruit flour (Bruguiera gymnorrhiza) as an alternative ingredient on the hedonic quality organoleptic characteristics (color, aroma, texture, and taste) of tuna fish balls (Thunnus sp.). The potential of natural resources in East Kutai as a coastal region, with its abundance of mangrove forests and high yield of tuna fish, is expected to support local food security and the diversification of processed tuna fish ball products through the addition of Lindur fruit flour. Lindur fruit, which is rich in fiber and bioactive compounds, has the potential to act as a binding agent and flavor enhancer for the diversification of tuna fish ball products. The treatments tested included the addition of Lindur fruit flour at concentrations of 20%, 40%, and 60% of the total flour content in the batter, compared to a control group (0% addition). The parameters tested were color, aroma, texture, and taste. The data were statistically analyzed using the General Linear Model: Univariate, followed by the Duncan test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The organoleptic test results indicated that the addition of Lindur fruit flour had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on all parameters tested. The formulation with 60% Lindur fruit flour addition was the most preferred by the panelists, achieving the highest scores for aroma and taste, and high acceptance scores for color and texture. Overall, the addition of Lindur fruit flour provided a more unique aroma profile and enhanced a savory taste that was appreciated by the panelists. It is concluded that the addition of Lindur fruit flour up to a 60% dosage effectively improved the organoleptic acceptance of tuna fish balls and successfully supported the diversification of processed tuna products. This finding recommends the 60% formulation for industrial application.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The Musi River in Rantau Bayur District, Banyuasin Regency, is an important habitat for kissing gourami (Helostoma temminckii) and climbing perch (Anabas testudineus). This study aimed to analyze the distribution, sex ratio, growth patterns, condition factor, and the relationships of both species with water environmental characteristics. The study was conducted from September to November 2025 at five stations representing different levels of anthropogenic pressure. Environmental parameters measured included temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, water transparency, total dissolved solids, and sediment. The results showed that the populations of both species were dominated by females. Climbing perch were generally found in medium size classes, while kissing gourami were dominated by small-sized individuals. The growth pattern of climbing perch was negative allometric, whereas kissing gourami showed a shift from positive to negative allometric growth. The condition factor of climbing perch remained relatively stable, while that of kissing gourami increased toward the end of the observation period. Water characteristics were dominated by silt–clay substrates with high organic matter content, indicating moderate pollution levels. Correspondence analysis revealed relationships between fish size classes and physico-chemical water parameters. Overall, the Musi River still supports the presence of both species, although environmental pressures may influence their population structure.
