DC [Karangean] is characterized as a small tree to 13 m, diocious, and evergreen, belonging to the Rutaceae family. It is distributed mainly in dry forests, thickets and on open slopes at an altitude of up to 1630 m above sea level, in India, China, Taiwan, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, South Java, Lesser Sunda Islands, the Philippinesand the Moluccas (Cho, 2012; Liu et al., 2014; Chen et al., 2015). Z. avicennae is locally called Karangean (Java, Indonesia), Ying Bu Bo (Taiwan), pepper, local pepper or small-leaf pepper and used for various purposes by traditional people in many countries (Wu et al., 2017). In China, Z. avicennae [Karangean] is an important folk medicine plant for rheumatism, abdominal pain, jaundice, chronic hepatitis and the common cold (Cho et al., 2012; Liu et al., 2014). Leaves, fruits and seeds are also used as spices and flavouring agents (PROSEA, 2016). While in Vietnam, people use a decoction of Z. avicennae [Karangean] stems in folk medicine as a digestive tonic (Dai et al., 2012). In Java, the leaves and fruits are applied as flavour; and the hard, dense, heavy reddish wood of Z. avicennae [Karangean] is used to make small tool handles (PROSEA, 2016). Like other species of the genus Zanthoxylum, Z. avicennae [Karangean] contains some chemical components essential oil and extract which has a high potential for pharmaceutical, anticancer, pesticide, spice, and the food flavor industry (Chen et al., 2015). The volatile leaf oil and extract of Z. avicennae [Karangean] had strong anticancer (Dung et al., 2013; Wu et al., 2017), antibacterial and antifungi activity on plant pathogenic fungi (Lin et al., 2014; Zeng et al., 2015). While its fruit essential oil contained citral, 1-octanol, 4-methyl-6-acetoxyhexanal and linalool which show strong antifungi activities (Chen et al.1990). Other studies reported that several chemical components, especially Diosmetin and Methyl4hydroxybenzoate were isolated from leaves of Z. avicennae [Karangean] (Cho et al., 2012), Neolignans, a coumarinolignan, lignan derivatives, a chromenewere extracted from the stem wood of Z. avicennae [Karangean] (Chen at al., 2008) and 8-Formylalloxanthoxyletin, Alloxanthoxyletin and Xanthoxyletin which were extracted from the stem bark of Z. avicennae [Karangean] (Chen et al., 2015) had high potential to be developed for the prevention and treatment of various inflammatory diseases. Some previous research on the chemical contents of Z. avicennae [Karangean] extract and essential oil from different geographic regoins had been frequently reported, for example from Vietnam (Dai et al., 2012), and China (Cheng et al., 1990, Liu et al., 2014, Zhang et al., 2012, Lin et al., 2014, Zheng et al., 2015), but interestingly, most of the chemical compositions found were significantly different. Indonesia, especially the Lesser Sunda Islands is included in the Z. avicennae [Karangean] Abstract","PeriodicalId":31368,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Researches","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85958306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Traditional utilization and processing of gewang palm (Corypha utan Lam.) starch in Timor island, Indonesia","authors":"J. Witono, Y. W. C. Kusuma, B. P. Naiola","doi":"10.23869/bphjbr.23.2.20188","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23869/bphjbr.23.2.20188","url":null,"abstract":"Food security has recently become a major concern around the world. Since 2006, the significant price, which reached its peak in 2008, has concerned in every country about food sustainability (FAO, 2009). Moreover, the increasing of food crops as biofuels might have negative impact on food security. The population growth and consumption in the future will also increase the global demand for food and indirectly force food prices up (Godfray et al., 2010). In the future, food prices are easy being increased if agricultural intensification and extensification programs cannot fulfill national food demand in Indonesia. Hence, the Government of Republic Indonesia could have programs for developing alternative of food sources as important issues in the National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2005-2009, following the RPJMN 2010-2014 and 2015-2019. An Increasing local knowledge and exploring biodiversity by local communities play a role as one of many possible solutions for food shortages. In the eastern of Indonesia, gewang starch, example of palm species, is utilized by local communities as an alternative food source. Gewang (Corypha utan Lam.), also known as gebang or talipot palm, is a palm species distributed in dry areas from north-east India to northern Australia (Uhl & Dransfield, 1987; Dransfield & Govaerts, 2005). In Indonesia, this palm grows naturally in the savannas of Timor Island and other adjacent islands, and it commonly determines the vegetation type of the area (Monk et al., 1997). Gewang is characterized as a single-stemmed palm, with height of up to 15 m. Its broad trunk grows up to 50 cm in diameter and tapering, faintly marked with closely-spaced hoops, and faint spiral marked. It has very large shaped, fan-shaped leaves up to 3 m across and a massive petiole with a toothed margin. It can be grown in subtropical to tropical climates with adequate sunlight, moisture and space. This species has a very large inflorescence which grows at the very top of the tree with stiff, spreading branches. It can produce millions of flowers and will die after fruiting. The fruit is round and up to 2 cm in diameter, and its seed can be up to 1.5 cm in diameter (Ellison & Ellison, 2001; Gibbons, 1998; Whitmore, 1973). Like other large palm species, gewang is associated with human settlements. Most parts of this palm have been utilized to provide the daily needs of villagers in East Nusa Tenggara, including construction materials, handcrafts, animal feed, alcoholic beverages, sugar and food. The starch which extracted from its trunk is usually used as a food source (Naiola et al., 2007; Uhl & Dransfield, 1987). This study will describe how indigenous people in Nusa Tenggara produce and utilize gewang starch for their diet, particularly as a rice substitute.","PeriodicalId":31368,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Researches","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87578735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However the increasing human needs creates a vulnerable situation, both to socio-economic and bird sustainability. This study aims to reveal the GGL traditional hunting method in two villages within the national park. In addition, this study also aims to reveal the trading plot from the initial supply to the local traders and the fluctuation of GGL population in their natural habitat. We conducted two approaches: an explorative interview on bird traders in Malang, Jember, and Banyuwangi, and a deep interview on the national park rangers, society, and bird hunters. Local people generally use two methods for GGL hunting. Pikat method, was used to catch specific birds that mostly live on trees. The other method, net method, was not widely used by the traditional hunter. Population of GGL was considered as abundant in the past, when the demand was low and the hunting activity only conducted seasonally using pulot method. The high of demand, modernization of method, and regeneration of hunters shifted the sustainable harvest into exploitation. During 2001-2003, the trend of hunting began to decline the GGL population in nature.","PeriodicalId":31368,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Researches","volume":"10 1","pages":"13-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75318729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
