“…Donax grandis, alternatively referred to as Donax canniformis or Clinogyne grandis, is classified within the Marantaceae family (Daud et al, 2011;Silalahi & Wakhidah, 2021). D. grandis is commonly referred to as 'Lias' by the indigenous population in Sabah, and 'Bemban' by the Malay population in Peninsular, Malaysia (Ridley & Curtis, 1902;Silalahi & Wakhidah, 2021). D. grandis is distributed across various countries in the Southeast Asia region, including Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Polynesia.…”

“…D. grandis is distributed across various countries in the Southeast Asia region, including Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Polynesia. D. grandis is commonly observed in moist habitats such as secondary forests and areas densely populated with bamboo (Ibrahim & Mohd Zain, 2017;Silalahi & Wakhidah, 2021).…”

“…Furthermore, the infusion of leaves and roots from D. grandis has the ability to lower body temperature, thereby providing a potential treatment for fever when administered through bathing. In addition, it has been reported that the juice derived from the stems of D. grandis exhibits efficacy in the treatment of snake bites (Daud et al, 2011;Silalahi & Wakhidah, 2021). According to a study conducted by Hanum and Hamzah (1999), it was found that the poultice derived from the stem and leaves of D. grandis possesses properties that make it suitable for use as eye refreshment.…”

Numerous studies have provided evidence supporting the significant role of oxidative stress in the development and progression of various diseases. The significance of the capacity of antioxidant status to recuperate from specific diseases has been demonstrated to be crucial for enhancing human health. Donax grandis, a plant species belonging to the Marantaceae family, is used by the indigenous population of Sabah to treat a range of ailments. This study aimed to chemically analyse the aqueous extract of D. grandis for the presence of bioactive compounds. The analysis revealed the detection of tannins, saponins, and flavonoids within the extract. Quantification of phenolics and flavonoids was conducted to determine their overall content. In-vitro antioxidant activity was investigated using a 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging method, employing a UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The phenolic compound concentration was 34.34 ± 1.37 mg/g gallic acid equivalent, while the flavonoid content was 3.93 ± 0.12 mg/g catechin equivalent. The IC50 value of D. grandis in the DPPH assay was determined to be 303.68 ± 0.4 μg/ml. The findings have revealed significant phytochemical properties found in D. grandis, which are anticipated to have therapeutic potential in managing diseases associated with oxidative stress.

“…Kalimantan is home to a diverse range of plants, including Bemban. Bemban (Donax Canniformis) is a plant that grows naturally in swamp regions with acidic peat soil structure [2,3]. These regions are commonly found on the borders of bodies of water, in damp areas, bamboo woodlands, and even in the yards of houses, producing little islands [4].…”

This study focuses on modifying Bemban fiber (Donax Canniformis) and assess its physical and mechanical properties as a material for concrete geopolymers. Bemban was cleaned and chopped into 20 cm pieces before being boiled for 60 minutes and dried at 75°C for 4 hours. Furthermore, the fiber was alkalized for 2 hours in a 3% NaOH solution. Three main aspects were investigated such as water content, cellulose content and the tensile strength of Bemban fiber. Moreover, the water absorption, porosity and compressive strength of mortar geopolymer using modified Bemban fiber were conducted in this research. The result research showed that the water content value of the Bemban fiber was 4% and met the requirements by SNI 06-3730-1995. Moreover, alkalization increased the cellulose content by 44.58% while decreasing the lignin content by 49.18% as well as shrinking the Bemban fiber diameter by 42%. The tensile strength of the Bemban fiber increases by 84.59%, and the fiber shape changes significantly. Carbon (C) and oxygen (O) are the most abundant elements in Bemban fiber. Using modified Bemban fiber in mortar geopolymers can reduce water absorption and porosity, especially the decrease in water absorption and porosity, together with the increased usage of Bemban fiber. Adding 1.5% modified Bemban fiber results in the lowest water absorption capacity and porosity, with physical parameters of 7.18% water absorption, 15.09% porosity, and the highest value of compressive strength is 5.93 MPa.
