Sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) - part 2 Dlium 2023-07-30 | Part 1: youtube.com/watch?v=VdwkKG4ydb0#Dlium Enau or aren or moka or sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) is a plant species, the most important palm after coconut (Cocos nucifera) in Arecaceae which is a versatile plant, growing to 25 m high and 65 cm in diameter, stems sturdy and at the top wrapped in by black fibers as leaf fronds that surround the stem.A. pinnata has pinnate compound leaves, up to 5 m long with stems up to 1.5 m. Minor leaves such as corrugated ribbon, 7x145 cm, dark green on the top and whitish by a layer of wax on the bottom.The male flowers separate from the female flowers in different cobs that appear in the armpit of the leaf and are up to 2.5 m long. Bullet-shaped fruit for a diameter of 4 cm, has three chambers and three seeds and arranged in chains.Each bunch has 10 or more stalks and each stalk has approximately 50 rows of green or yellowish brown fruit. This fruit cannot be eaten directly because the sap causes severe itching.Aren are easy to grow in tropical Asia, grow wild or planted on slopes or river cliffs at altitudes up to 1,400 m. The sap causes itching, but ripe fruit is preferred by many animals including weasels and wild boar which indirectly function as seed dispersers.Palm sugar is obtained by tapping the male flower bunches that begin to bloom and scatter the yellow pollen. The bunches were first bruised by hitting them for several days until liquid came out from inside. The bunches were then cut and hung at the ends of bamboo tubs to catch any dripping liquid.The sweet liquid is clear to slightly cloudy. This sap does not last long, so the filled casks must be taken immediately to be processed, usually taken twice a day in the morning and evening.The liquid is immediately cooked until it thickens and becomes liquid sugar. This liquid sugar can be added to the jackfruit sap mixture so that the sugar hardens and is molded into chunks. Liquid sugar can also be added with a separating agent such as coconut oil, so that crystal sugar forms.The liquid is also commonly fermented into alcoholic beverages. This drink is obtained by adding one or several types of bark or roots and letting it sit one to several nights. The resulting drink can taste sweet or sour or bitter. If the fermentation process is continued with the addition of other ingredients, it will produce vinegar.The fruit has 2-3 white seed nuclei in a hard, thin shell. Young fruit has a core that is still soft and slightly translucent. Young fruit is burned or boiled to remove the core and then soaked in lime water for several days to remove the sap. Processed seed kernels will be traded in the market as fruit products for mixed drinks, sweets or cooked in various snacks.The leaves are used as a roofing material for houses. The shoots of the leaves that are still buds are also used as cigarette leaves. The leaves are used to wrap palm sugar and durian fruit. These leaves are often spun into rope, while the sticks are used for woven items and brooms.The fibers are spun into strong, durable and seawater-resistant ropes. Palm fiber can also be used as roofing material for houses, brushes and brooms. The fronds and petioles are processed into strong and durable fibers to be used as yarn, fishing line and guitar strings.The inner stem is quite hard and is used as boards, rafters or made into sticks. The middle stem is very soft, usually pounded and processed to produce low quality sago. Stems that are split lengthwise and the center removed can be used as drains. The roots produce fiber for plaiting material, fishing lines and whips.The sap causes itching, but the ripe fruit is liked by many animals, including civets and wild boars.Kingdom: PlantaePhylum: TracheophytaSubphylum: AngiospermaeClass: LiliopsidaOrder: ArecalesFamily: ArecaceaeSubfamily: CoryphoideaeTribe: CaryoteaeGenus: ArengaSpecies: Arenga pinnataArabic: نخيل السكرChinese (Simplified): 砂糖椰子Chinese (Traditional): 砂糖椰子Dutch: Arenpalm, Suikerpalm, ZuikerpalmEnglish: Sugar Palm, Gomuti palmGermany: ZuckerpalmeHebrew: דקל סוכרHindi: चीनी हथेलीHong Kong: 砂糖椰子Indonesian: ArenJapanese: サトウヤシJavanese: ruyungKorean: 설탕 야자Nusa Tenggara: moka, moke, tuwa, tuwakPortuguese: Gomuteira, Palmeira-do-açúcarRussian: Сахарная пальмаSasak: belulukSpanish: Palma de azúcarSundanese: kawung, tarenSulawesi: akol, akel, akere, inru, induSumatra: nau, hanau, peluluk, biluluk, kabung, juk, ijukThai: ตาวTurkish: palmiyeLearn more: dlium.com/2019/12/sugar-palm-arenga-pinnata.htmlLocation: Samigaluh, Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia.Aryo BandoroDlium TheDliumWeb: dlium.com

The A. comosus cultivated by people has lost the ability to reproduce sexually, but they develop young plants using the 'crown' part of the fruit as a means of vegetative propagation.Raw pineapple pulp is 86% water, 13% carbohydrates, 0.5% protein, and contains negligible fat (table). In a 100-gram reference amount, raw pineapple supplies 50 calories, and is a rich source of manganese (44% Daily Value, DV) and vitamin C (58% DV), but otherwise contains no micronutrients in significant amounts.Pineapple is prepared and sold on the side of the road as a fresh fruit snack. The crushed fruit is used in yogurt, jam, preserves, ice cream and vinegar. Juice is served as a drink and the main ingredient in cocktails.Pineapple is traditionally used to inhibit tumor growth, fight free radicals, lose weight, treat worms, sprains, boils, itching, inflammation of the skin, acne, dandruff, constipation, beriberi, burns, diabetes, sore throat, digestive disorders and has activity as an antifungal.Leaves are a source of traditional piña fiber, an adaptation of the original weaving tradition with fiber extracted from abacá. It is woven into a sheer, lustrous lace-like cloth which is usually decorated with intricate floral embroidery. They are loved for their light and breezy qualities, which are ideal in hot tropical climates.Phylum: TracheophytaSubphylum; AngiospermaeClass: LiliopsidaOrder: PoalesFamily: BromeliaceaeSubfamily: BromelioideaeGenus: AnanasSpecies: Ananas comosusVariety: Ananas comosus var. bracteatus, Ananas comosus var. comosus, Ananas comosus var. erectifolius, Ananas comosus var. microstachys, Ananas comosus var. parguazensisAceh: AnesArabic: أناناسArgentina: AnanásAustria: AnanasBatak: Henas, Kenas, Honas, HanasBrazil: AbacaxiBunun: bunglaiChinanteco: huChinese (Simplified): 菠萝Chinese (Traditional): 菠蘿 - 鳳梨Czech: ananasovník chocholatýDanish: almindelig ananasEnglish: pineappleEsperanto: ananasoFrench: AnanasGerman: AnanasGuangdong: 菠蘿 - 鳳梨Guaymí: múyaHawaiian: Hala kahiki, Hala-kahiki, Hala-'aiHebrew: אננסHindi: अनन्नासHong Kong: 菠蘿 - 鳳梨Huasteco: chabchamhuitzIndonesian: Nanas, NenasItalian: Ananas, AnanassoJapanese: パイナップルKorean: 파인애플Kwaza: babaɨkaloLacandón: pachLuxembourgish: AnanasMacao: 菠蘿 - 鳳梨Minangkabau: NanehMixe: mutsaijkillNahuatl: Majtzajtli, MatzahtliPalauan: OngolngebardPolish: Ananas jadalnyPortuguese: Ananás, AbacaxiRussian: Ананас настоящийSinhala: අන්නාසිSpanish: Piña, AnanásSunda: Ganas, DanasTaiwan: 菠蘿 - 鳳梨Thai: สับปะรดTotonaco: a'ca'xca'Turkish: ananasUkrainian: Ананас звичайнийZapoteco: toba-quelaZoque: tzicuitLearn more: dlium.com/2019/07/pineapple-ananas-comosus.htmlLocation: Samigaluh, Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia.Aryo BandoroDlium TheDliumWeb: dlium.com

They also live as epiphytes on rocks and wood.C. rutidosperma has elongated or rounded leaves, sharp or blunt tips, white hair, green, a main vein in the middle with many pinnate minor veins. The stalk is 0.5-2 cm long with thin spines and three strands.The flowers have long stalks. The crown has a pointed claw-like tip, 9-12 mm long, reddish-blue in color and short fine hair. Fruit stalk 20-30 mm long, curved, capsule-shaped, pointed tip, linearly wrinkled and green. Seeds have a diameter of 1.75-2 mm, elaiosomes whitish.Cleomaceae contain thioglucosides which release isothiocyanates when the plant is crushed. They also contain alkaloids and flavonoids of unknown species. Research on the benefits of purple cleome is still very limited and the compounds responsible for its activity are not known with certainty.C. rutidosperma can be used as an antifeedant or herbicide substitute for Brassica plant pests such as Plutella xylostella. Plants also contain a group of potential anticancer compounds, such as alkaloids and flavonoids, both of which have the potential to act as negative regulators of oncogenes and positive regulators of tumor suppressor genes.Negative regulation of oncogenes stops cancer cell proliferation at certain phases of the cell cycle. Tumor suppressor genes such as p53 protein and Retinoblastoma protein (pRb). The Rb protein is able to bind to the E2F protein, so that the cell cycle can be inhibited.Kingdom: PlantaePhylum: TracheophytaSubphylum: AngiospermaeClass: MagnoliopsidaOrder: BrassicalesFamily: CleomaceaeGenus: CleomeSpecies: Cleome rutidospermaArabic: كليم الأرجوانيChinese (Simplified): 皱子白花菜Chinese (Traditional): 皺子白花菜 - 平伏莖白花菜 - 成功白花菜English: Purple Cleome, Fringed Spider FlowerGuangdong: 皺子白花菜Hebrew: קלאומה סגולהHindi: बैंगनी क्लियोमHong Kong: 皺子白花菜\Indonesian: Maman Lanang, Maman UnguJapanese: アフリカフウチョウソウKorean: 퍼플 클레오메Macao: 皺子白花菜Russian: Клеоме морщинистосемяннаяTaiwan: 平伏莖白花菜 - 成功白花菜Thai: ผักเสี้ยนขนLearn more: dlium.com/2022/03/purple-cleome-cleome-rutidosperma.htmlLocation: Kaligesing, Purworejo Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia.Aryo BandoroDlium TheDliumWeb: dlium.com

Common water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes) - part 2 Dlium 2023-06-17 | Part 1: youtube.com/watch?v=Y16Ha5K1TNI#Dlium Water hyacinth or common water hyacinth or Eichhornia crassipes (Pontederia crassipes) is a species of plant in the Pontederiaceae, a free-floating perennial aquatic herb with wide, thick, glossy, ovoid leaves and can rise up to 1 meter above the water surface.P. crassipes has leaves 10-20 cm in diameter on stems which float in bulb-like nodules that float above the surface of the water. Hairy roots, purple-black and hanging freely. Stems long, supple and round. Stems erect to support 8-15 flowers, mostly lavender to pink with 6 petals.Habitats range from tropical to subtropical deserts or warm and semi-desert to rainforest zones. Minimum growth is at 12C (54F), optimal growth is 25-30C (77-86F) and maximum growth is 33-35C (91-95F). pH tolerance 5.0-7.5. Leaves die in frost and do not tolerate water temperatures over 34C (93F).This species does not grow in an average salinity greater than 15% seawater (5g/kg salt). Leaves show epinasti and chlorosis in brackish water and eventually die.Water hyacinth grows in shallow ponds, wetlands and swamps, slow flowing water, lakes, water reservoirs and rivers. These plants can adapt to extreme changes in water level, water currents, nutrient availability, pH, temperature and toxins in the water.The rapid growth of water hyacinth is mainly due to water containing high nutrients, especially those rich in nitrogen, phosphate and potassium. Salt content can inhibit growth as occurs in lakes on the coast of West Africa where it will increase during the rainy season and decrease when the salt content rises during the dry season.This plant contains hydrogen cyanide, alkaloids, triterpenoids and can cause itching. Plants sprayed with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid can accumulate lethal doses of nitrates and other harmful elements in polluted environments.One of the fastest growing plants known, water hyacinth reproduces primarily via stolons which eventually form new plants. Each plant can also produce thousands of seeds every year and these seeds can last more than 28 years. Hardy plant and mats can double in size in one to two weeks. They multiplied more than a hundred times in a matter of 23 days.The roots naturally absorb several organic compounds which are believed to be carcinogenic in concentrations 10,000 times that of the surrounding water.A series of studies showed that within 24 hours it absorbed cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni) and chrom (Cr). Chrom (Cr) can be maximally absorbed by water hyacinth at pH 7 where Cr drops to 51.85 percent. Plants also absorb pesticide residues. This species removes arsenic from drinking water.This plant is an excellent source of biomass. One hectare of plants produces more than 70,000 m3/ha of biogas. One kg (2.2 lb) of dry matter can produce 370 liters (13 cu ft) of biogas, a heating value of 22,000 kJ/m3 (590 Btu/cu ft) compared to pure methane (895 Btu/ft3).Farmers dry the crop as fuel and the ash is used as fertilizer. One ton of dried water hyacinth produces about 50 liters of ethanol and 200 kg of residual fiber (7,700 Btu). One ton of bacterial fermentation produces 26,500 ft3 of gas (600 Btu) with 51.6% (CH4), 25.4% (H2), 22.1% (CO2), and 1 .2% (O2).Gasification of one ton of dry matter by air and steam at high temperatures (800C or 1,500F) produces about 40,000 ft3 (1,100 m3) of natural gas (143 Btu/ft3) containing 16.6% H2, 4 .8% CH4, 21.7% CO, 4.1% CO2 and 52.8% N2.This plant is used for furniture, handbags, baskets, rope and household items, wicker, interior products and paper. This plant is used as a carotene-rich table vegetable. Flowers are used for horse skin medicine.Kingdom: PlantaePhylum: TracheophytaSubphylum: AngiospermaeClass: LiliopsidaOrder: CommelinalesFamily: PontederiaceaeGenus: PontederiaSubgenus: OshunaeSpecies: Pontederia crassipesAfrikaans: Nyllelie, Waterhiasint, SnotterbelArabic: ورد النيل سميك الساقCatalan: Jacint d'aiguaChinese (Simplified): 凤眼蓝 - 水葫芦Chinese (Traditional): 布袋蓮 - 鳳眼藍 布袋蓮Czech: tokozelka nadmutáDayak: Ilung-ilungDutch: waterhyacintEnglish: Nile Lily, Water Hyacinth, Common water hyacinthFinnish: kellusvesihyasinttiFrench: Jacinthe d'eauGerman: Dickstielige WasserhyazintheHebrew: איכהורניה עבת רגלHindi: पानी जलकुंभीHungarian: közönséges vízijácintIndonesian: Eceng GondokItalian: Giacinto d'acquaJapanese: ホテイアオイ - 布袋葵Korean: 부레옥잠Lampung: RinggakManado: TumpeNahuatl: CamalotlPalauan: bungelralmPalembang: KelipukPortuguese: Aguapé, Gigoga, Jacinto-d'água, Jacinto-de-águaRussian: Эйхорния толстоножковаяSinhala: ජපන් ජබරSpanish: Buchón de Agua, Camalote, Lila de agua, Lila de caño, Lirio acuático sudamericanoSwedish: vattenhyacintThai: ผักตบชวาLearn more: dlium.com/2020/01/common-water-hyacinth-eichhornia.htmlLocation: Grabag, Purworejo Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia.Aryo BandoroDlium TheDliumWeb: dlium.com
