Abstract

The use of food plant species by local communities is very important to study using the concept of ethnobotany. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of plant species, the use of food plants and how to process them at the Joben Resort, Mount Rinjani National Park. This research method is a field survey method which consists of interviews, observations, identification of plant species and data analysis. Determination of the sample using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and then collected plant specimens accompanied by key informants. Data analysis was carried out descriptively qualitatively after being processed in Microsoft Excel using simple statistical techniques. Based on the results of the study showed that there were 10 types of food plants obtained from the forest of Joben are: Goa (Ficus variegata), Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Burmannii), Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), Candlenut (Aleurites moluccana), Salam (Syzygium polyanthum), Kentawong/Sintrong (Crassocephalum crepidioides), Jelijo/Tempuh Wiyang (Emilia sonchifolia), Fern (Diplazium esculentum), Bujak (Hedychium coronarium), and Jee/Putat (Planchonia valida). Utilization of food plants, among others, dried, made into spices, made into vegetables, direct consumption and sold. The most dominant use was fern 26%, followed by Jackfruit 21% and Salam 14%. Then the use of jackfruit plants was relatively large (20%) which could be used as vegetables, eaten directly and sold. Meanwhile, the most widely used plant parts were the leaves of food plants (66%) and fruit of food plants (21%).

Abstract

Tamarind leaves (Tamarindus indica L.) contain compounds including saponins, flavonoids, and tannins. The content of tannin compounds in tamarind leaf extract (Tamarindus indica L.) is known to be used as an antidiarrheal bioagent. This study aims to identify antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli bacteria based on the potential of tamarind leaves (Tamarindus indica L.) as an anti-diarrheal bioagent. The design of this research is an experimental laboratory with randomized group design. The samples in this study were divided into 2 control groups, namely negative control (sterile aquades), positive control (ampiciilin), and 3 treatment groups, namely old and young tamarind leaf extract groups with each concentration of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% with the number of samples for each treatment group as much as 3. Test the effectiveness of antimicrobials using the solid dilution method. The effectiveness of antimicrobials is demonstrated by the large diameter of the inhibitor on Muller Hilton Agar media. The results showed that the inhibitory power of young tamarind leaf extract ranged from 13.8 mm to 14.9 mm, while the inhibitory power of old tamarind leaf extract ranged from 10.7 mm to 11.9 mm, so that the inhibitory power of young tamarind leaf ethanol extract was greater than the type of old tamarind leaf ethanol’s extract.
