“…At Cai Beo, two types of starches from palms were recovered. The Sugar Palm (Arenga pinnata) is an endemic plant to Southeast Asian countries (Haryoso et al, 2019). In Vietnam, it is grown on the highlands in the central or northern parts of Vietnam (Nguyen et al, 2014).…”

Mainland Southeast Asia experienced a long, sustained period of foraging economy before rice and millet farming spread into this area prior to 4,000 years BP. Although hundreds of individuals from dense cemeteries are found in several hunter-gatherer sites in Guangxi, Southern China, and Northern Vietnam, dating from the early to middle Holocene (ca. 9,000–4,500 years BP), so far, little has been known about food sources in these pre-farming contexts. In particular, plant food resources have been unclear, although they likely were crucial to supporting rather large populations of hunter-gatherers in this region. To investigate this issue, micro plant remains, including starches and phytoliths, were recovered from stone tools excavated at the Cai Beo site in Ha Long Bay of coastal Northeastern Vietnam, and those findings revealed new understanding of the ancient diet. Examinations of those residues indicated that the hunter-gatherers at Cai Beo as early as 7,000–6,000 years BP exploited a broad spectrum of plants, such as taros, yams, acorns, palms, and more. This study exemplifies how maritime hunter-gatherers interfaced with the local plants and generated population growth from about 7,000 to 4,500 years BP. The results help us to conceptualize the early exploitation, management, and potential cultivation of subtropical and tropical plants over the broad geography of Asia and the Pacific before the arrival of rice and millet farming. In particular, the result validates the significance of roots and tubers in the ancient subsistence economy of Southeast Asia. Moreover, from the archaeological context of 4,500 to 4,000 years BP, the rice discovered in this study represents one of the earliest known in Mainland Southeast Asia.

“…The palm black's fibers, which are locally called ijuk can be use as raw materials for making brooms and water filters. Gunawan et al (2018) and Haryoso et al (2020) reported that there are at least 10 parts of sugar palm that can be used with economic value, namely leaf, young leaf, black fibers, rachis, stalk, bark, inflorescence, trunk/stem, fruit bunch, and root. Moreover, their use is also influenced by the culture, local wisdom, economy, and environment of the region.…”

Abstract. Fadhilla S, Hakim L, Agustian A, Lubis YS, Siregar AW. 2022. The diversity of utilizations, tapping flow discharge, and conservation of sugar palm (Arenga longipes Mogea) cultivated in Langkat, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 122-132. Sugar palm (Arenga longipes Mogea) is one of the Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) cultivated by the forest community in the village of Sei Limbat, Selesai Sub-district, Langkat District, North Sumatra. It is a plant with several benefits for economic development and a source of livelihood. Therefore, this research aims to determine the morphology of sugar palms through the identification of the species developed by the community, potential use, economic value, and tapping productivity. The morphological identification was used to determine the species of sugar palm developed by the community. The multiple utilization and economic values were identified and analyzed using the result of in-depth interviews through questionnaires. In this study, it was found that the diversity of uses of the palm plant included the utilization of palm sugar (consisting of large palm sugar, small palm sugar, liquid sugar and powdered sugar), utilization of black palm fiber, and conservation purposes. Based on the morphological identification, the species of sugar palm cultivated by the forest community was Arenga longipes Mogea. Furthermore, the tapping productivity was influenced by the panicle circumference, tree height, and flower height from the ground. The tapping productivity was calculated using daily production, which was correlated with sugar palm tree morphology. Based on the result, it can be concluded that the species identified is A. longipes which has a variety of uses and the tapping productivity was influenced by plant morphology.

“…Based on the QDA results, these three samples were characterized by high intensity of ginger aroma, pandan aroma, and palm sugar aroma which may drive consumers' acceptability of bandrek drink. Ginger, pandan, and palm sugar are rich in aromatic compounds and may promote liking [29][30][31][32]. The taste attribute of sample CP was also the most preferred based on consumer test.…”

Traditional herbal drink is made from local herbs and is believed to be able to increase immune system. Bandrek is a Javanese traditional drink commonly made with local herbs and spices. One of the important ingredients should be added in bandrek is ginger. The objective of this study is to investigate consumers’ preferences of bandrek with different processing treatments of ginger (control, cold press, oven-cold press, cold press-boiled, smashed-boiled). In addition, sensorial profiles of bandrek with different ginger treatment was also investigated. A total of 105 consumers participated and their liking scores for bandrek were assessed. In addition, the descriptive sensory evaluation was measured using QDA (Quantitative Descriptive Analysis) by 13 trained panelists and the total antioxidant activity was analyzed using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. The result shows that the bandrek drinks with cold pressed ginger had the highest antioxidant activity compared to the other samples. Moreover, these samples were also shown to be closely associated with consumers’ preferences and correlated with the aroma and taste of spices and herbs including the hot sensation of ginger. This study could be used as a preliminary study to develop functional drinks made from ginger by considering ginger treatment and its antioxidant content.
