“…One of them is lemba (Figure 1) or scientifically known as Curculigo latifolia. Lemba is a member of the Hypoxidaceae family or known as flowering plants (Shaari, 2005). There are about 20 species of genus Curculigo that distributed in the tropical regions of Africa and Asia (Ranjbarfard et al, 2014).…”

“…Lemba grows about one meter tall and the blade elliptical leaf of 30-100 cm × 5-10 cm. It grows well in the hilly area and requires less exposure to sunlight, with abundant water supply (Shaari, 2005). Every part of this plant can be utilized to obtain its several advantages.…”

“…In Malaysia and Borneo, lemba leaves fibres (LeLeFs) have been used for making the rope, fishing net and twines (Farzinebrahimi et al, 2016). Meanwhile, in Japan, this plant also known to be a natural sweetener that gives a very sweet taste when its seeds or parts of the plant are chewed (Shaari, 2005). Not only that, high fever also can be treated by using the combination of leaves and flowers, while the concoction of flowers and roots has been used to treat stomachache and frequent urination (Shaari, 2005).…”

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of alkaline treatment on the physical, thermal, mechanical and chemical properties of pristine lemba leaves fibres (LeLeFs). LeLeFs were treated with 6, 8, and 10 wt% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution at room temperature for 24 h. In order to determine the functional group presence after the alkaline treatment, LeLeFs were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. The density of LeLeFs treated with 10 wt% NaOH solution recorded the highest density with 1.168 g/cm³. Morphology study showed that the diameter of fibre reduced with the increment of NaOH concentration. The removal of lignin and hemicellulose could be observed in the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Alkaline treatment enhanced the tensile properties of fibre and 10 wt% alkaline treated fibre resulted in the highest tensile strength, modulus and elongation of the fibre at 511.10 MPa, 11.76 GPa and 3.69% respectively. Chemical resistance analysis found that the treated fibre had better chemical resistance compared to untreated fibre. Therefore, it is substantiated that alkaline treatment affects the properties of LeLeF.

Leaf, seed, and tuber explants of C. latifolia were inoculated on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of BAP and IBA, alone or in combinations, to achieve in vitro plant regeneration. Subsequently, antioxidant and antibacterial activities were determined from in vitro and in vivo plant developed. No response was observed from seed culture on MS media with various concentrations of PGRs. The highest percentage of callus was observed on tuber explants (94%) and leaf explants (89%) when cultured on MS media supplemented with IBA in combination with BAP. A maximum of 88% shoots per tuber explant, with a mean number of shoots (8.8 ± 1.0), were obtained on MS medium supplemented with combinations of BAP and IBA (2.5 mg L−1). The best root induction (92%) and mean number (7.6 ± 0.5) from tuber explants were recorded on 2.5 mg L−1 IBA alone supplemented to MS medium. The higher antioxidant content (80%) was observed from in vivo tuber. However, tuber part from the intact plant showed higher inhibition zone in antibacterial activity compared to other in vitro and in vivo tested parts.
