摘要

罗勒(Ocimum americanum)有多种用途。这种植物因其芳香特质而被视为食品添加剂,同时也是治疗各种疾病的民间药物。然而,它的用途、分布以及相关的社区知识尚未得到适当和系统的记录。因此,我们开展了一项调查,以探索欧加木的生物勘探潜力,并收集有关其社区知识的基线信息。在选择参与研究的地区、村庄、使用者和种植者时,采用了有目的和按比例的抽样方法。所选地区包括 Dembiya、Gonder Zuria、Takusa、Alefa、Bahir Dar 市和 Bahir Dar Zuria 区,这些地区的选择是基于该植物的生长潜力和用户可用性。数据收集方法包括半结构式访谈、小组讨论和实地观察。调查结果显示,罗勒有多种用途:治疗疾病(32.67%)、食品调味(26.6%)、食品防腐(7.7%)以及为不同食品增添香味(8.33%)。具体而言,32.67%的受访者将欧加马用于传统医药,主要用于治疗抑郁/头痛、胃痛和辟邪。制剂和用药方法包括调制(21.05%)、直接涂抹植物部分(15.79%)、研磨(15.79%)、熔化(5.26%)、熏蒸(10.53%)和吸入(31.58%)。不同使用者的用药剂量各不相同,取决于疾病的强度、类型、经验和严重程度。九种用罗勒调味的传统食品被确认,罗勒使用的最高保真度是食品调味(18.33%),其次是防腐(18.33%)。直接矩阵分析表明,辣椒香料是最受欢迎的用罗勒调味的当地食品,其次是辣椒香料。这项研究强调了用罗勒调味的传统食品,为食品和制药行业的生物勘探公司提供了宝贵的见解。

Distribution, local use, and bio-prospecting opportunity of Ocimum americanum L. in Northwestern part of the Amhara Region, Ethiopia
Ocimum americanum (Basil) encompasses various uses. The plant is valued both as a food additive for its aromatic qualities and in folk medicine for treating various ailments. However, its uses, distribution, and the associated community knowledge have not been properly and systematically documented. Therefore, a survey was conducted to explore the bio-prospecting potential of Ocimum americanum and gather baseline information on its community knowledge. Purposive and proportional samplings were used to select districts, villages, users, and growers who participated in the study. The selected districts - Dembiya, Gonder Zuria, Takusa, Alefa, Bahir Dar city, and Bahir Dar Zuria Districts - were selected based on the plant’s growth potential and user availability. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews, group discussions, and field observations. The findings revealed that basil is used for various purposes: ailment treatment (32.67%), food flavoring (26.6%), food preservative (7.7%), and to impart aroma to different foods (8.33%). Specifically, 32.67 % of the respondents used Ocimum americanum for traditional medicine purposes, primarily to treat depression/headaches, stomach aches, and ward off evil spirits. The methods for preparation and administration included concoction (21.05 %), direct application of plant parts (15.79%), grinding (15.79%), melting (5.26%), Fumigation (10.53%), and inhalation (31.58%). Medicinal dosage varied among users depending on the intensity, type, experience, and the severity of the disease. Nine traditional foods spiced, with basil were identified, with the highest fidelity level for basil use being food flavoring (18.33%) followed by preservation (18.33%). The direct matrix analysis indicated that chilli pepper spice was the most preferred local food sweetened by basil, followed by hot-spiced pepper. This study highlights the traditional foods spiced with basil and providesvaluable insights for bio-prospecting companies in the food and pharmacological industries.
