The potency of active components containing on andaliman fruit [Zanthoxylum acanthopodium] for increasing the quality of salted eggs

Abstract

A type of spice that is still limited to use with primary commodities is andaliman [Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC]. Geographically, the spice is only found in the district of Toba Samosir which is closed to Lake Toba. The herb plant is a group of family Rutaceae and has identified with the name of Andaliman [Batak pepper]. The chemical compound that is thought to have the most role in various biological activities of andaliman fruit as an antioxidant and antimicrobial for food processing. Research conducted to determine the phytochemical compounds, the group of secondary metabolites within the extraction, and the influence of antimicrobial compounds from essential oils on salted eggs. Parameters were chemical compounds from different extracted and quality of the eggs. The chemical composition of each extract was examined by both the Harborne method and GC-MS. Results showed that phytochemical contents contained steroid and triterpenoid for three types of extraction with no detect for saponin. Antimicrobial compounds sourcing from andaliman extracts can inhibit the Staphylococcus aureus. Besides, the quality profile of salted eggs by ripening with andaliman extracts was significantly influenced comparing with control. It can be concluded that the active components of andaliman extract have potentially affected the quality of salted eggs.

The Effectiveness of Andaliman Leaf Extract as an Environmentally Friendly Botanical Pesticide

“…These findings are supported by previous research demonstrating the potential of Andaliman leaf extract as an effective botanical pesticide. According to previous studies, Andaliman leaf extract, rich in secondary metabolite compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and tannins, has been proven effective in reducing grey worm attacks on plants (Harahap, 2019;Silaban et al, 2020). These compounds have significant insecticidal activity, disrupting the nervous and digestive systems of insects, causing death or developmental disturbances (Ukoroije & Otayor, 2020).…”

“…These compounds disrupt the nervous system of insects, inhibit feeding, and interfere with reproduction, thereby reducing pest populations without harming beneficial organisms (Hikal et al, 2017). The potential of Andaliman leaves as botanical pesticides aligns with the growing demand for environmentally friendly pest control solutions (Silaban et al, 2020). Synthetic pesticides, while effective, often lead to the development of resistant pest strains and contaminate soil and water resources (Ayilara et al, 2023).…”

Profil Mikroba Telur Asin Hasil Pemeraman Menggunakan Ekstrak Kasar Kombinasi Buah Andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium) dan Kecombrang (Eltingera elatior)

“…Hal serupa juga dilaporkan oleh [12] yakni peningkatan senyawa antimikrobial akan mendukung proses hambat terhadap kelompok bakteri patogen lainnya. Berdasarkan penelitian terdahulu oleh [13] diketahui bahwa Andaliman memiliki senyawa aktif kelompok terpenoid yang sangat bersifat bakterisidal khususnya pada Escherichia coli. Lebih lanjut, menurut [16] bahwa senyawa terpen dilaporkan merupakan senyawa antimikroba utama rempah Andaliman serta dapat menghambat bakteri Escherichia coli.…”
