Valorisation of Reutealis Trisperma Seed from Papua for the Production of Non-Edible Oil and Protein-Rich Biomass
International Proceedings of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering, V0l. 93 (2016) DOI: 10.7763/IPCBEE. 2016. V93. 3 Valorisation of Reutealis Trisperma Seed from Papua for the Production of Non-Edible Oil and Protein-Rich Biomass Robert Manurung 1, Muhammad Yusuf Abduh 1, Mochammad Hirza Nadia 1, Kardina Sari Wardhani 1, and Khalilan Lambangsari 1 1 School of Life Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia Abstract. The valorisation of Reutealis trisperma seed for the production of non-edible oil and protein was investigated. Reutealis trisperma fruits contain approximately 60-61 wt%, d.b. mesocarp, 26-28 wt%, d.b. endosperm and 13 wt%, d.b. endocarp. The endosperm of ripe Reutealis trisperma fruit contains about 54-59 wt%, d.b. non-edible oil whereas the mesocarp contains only 3-9 wt%, d.b. oil. The cake obtained after the extraction of oil from the endosperm was mixed with the endocarp (20 wt% cake and 80 wt% endocarp) and used as feed (50 mg/larva/d) for the cultivation of Hermetia illucens larvae in a rearing container. The feed contains 39.2 wt%, d.b. hemicellulose, 10.9 wt%, d.b. cellulose and 29.9 wt%, d.b. lignin and 0.2 wt%, d.b. ash. The protein content of the feed was 19.1 wt%, d.b. A prepupal dry weight of approximately 50 3 mg/larvae was obtained after 12 d of treatment with an estimated productivity of 10.2 kgprepupae/m container.d. The estimated efficiency of black solider fly larvae in converting digested food was 21.6% with an assimilation efficiency of 27.7%. -
Acute Toxicity of Extract of Sunan Candlenut (Reutealis Trisperma (Blanco) Airy Shaw) Seeds Nyi Mekar Saptarini*, Resmi Mustarichie
Research Article Acute Toxicity of Extract of Sunan candlenut (Reutealis trisperma (Blanco) Airy Shaw) Seeds Nyi Mekar Saptarini*, Resmi Mustarichie ABSTRACT Background: Extract of Sunan candlenut (Reutealis trisperma (Blanco) Airy Shaw) seed, the Euphorbiaceae family, has been shown to have anti-alopecia activity. Extract safety must be determined so that the extract can be developed into herbal preparations. Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the acute toxicity and toxic symptoms of Sunan candlenut seed extract. Materials and Methods: Acute toxicity assay was conducted on female Swiss Webster mice with various concentrations of Sunan candlenut seed extract (70, 700, 1400, 3500, and 7000 mg/kg BW mice), then observed the toxic symptoms for 14 days. Results: The LD50 value of Sunan candlenut seed extract was 4954 mg/kg BW mice. This extract has a significant effect on the central nervous system by reducing the motoric activity (P = 2 × 10-4) and retablisment (P = 0.002), and the autonomic nervous system by disturbing ptosis (P = 0.032) and breathing (P = 0.001). Conclusion: The Sunan candlenut seed extract was 6th category, i.e., relatively harmless, based on the Hodge and Sterner toxicity scale. KEY WORDS: Acute toxicity, LD50 value, Relatively harmless, Toxic symptoms INTRODUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS Sunan candlenut (Reutealis trisperma (Blanco) Materials Airy Shaw), the Euphorbiaceae family, is a plant Sunan candlenut seed was collected from 7-year-old from Southeast Asia.

Plant Life of Western Australia
INTRODUCTION The characteristic features of the vegetation of Australia I. General Physiography At present the animals and plants of Australia are isolated from the rest of the world, except by way of the Torres Straits to New Guinea and southeast Asia. Even here adverse climatic conditions restrict or make it impossible for migration. Over a long period this isolation has meant that even what was common to the floras of the southern Asiatic Archipelago and Australia has become restricted to small areas. This resulted in an ever increasing divergence. As a consequence, Australia is a true island continent, with its own peculiar flora and fauna. As in southern Africa, Australia is largely an extensive plateau, although at a lower elevation. As in Africa too, the plateau increases gradually in height towards the east, culminating in a high ridge from which the land then drops steeply to a narrow coastal plain crossed by short rivers. On the west coast the plateau is only 00-00 m in height but there is usually an abrupt descent to the narrow coastal region. The plateau drops towards the center, and the major rivers flow into this depression. Fed from the high eastern margin of the plateau, these rivers run through low rainfall areas to the sea. While the tropical northern region is characterized by a wet summer and dry win- ter, the actual amount of rain is determined by additional factors. On the mountainous east coast the rainfall is high, while it diminishes with surprising rapidity towards the interior. Thus in New South Wales, the yearly rainfall at the edge of the plateau and the adjacent coast often reaches over 100 cm. -
Appendix 3 Section 5A Assessments “Seven Part Tests”
APPENDIX 3 SECTION 5A ASSESSMENTS “SEVEN PART TESTS” Appendix 3: Seven Part Tests Swamp Sclerophyll Forest Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions is listed as an Endangered Ecological Community under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995). It is not listed under the schedules of the Commonwealth Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999). Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions includes and replaces Sydney Coastal Estuary Swamp Forest in the Sydney Basin bioregion Endangered Ecological Community. This community is associated with humic clay loams and sandy loams, on waterlogged or periodically inundated alluvial flats and drainage lines associated with coastal floodplains (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). It occurs typically as open forests to woodlands, although partial clearing may have reduced the canopy to scattered trees or scrub. The understorey may contain areas of fernland and tall reedland or sedgeland which in turn may also form mosaics with other floodplain communities and often fringe wetlands with semi-permanent standing water (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains generally occurs below 20 metres ASL, often on small floodplains or where the larger floodplains adjoin lithic substrates or coastal sand plains (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). The species composition of Swamp Sclerophyll Forest is primarily determined by the frequency and duration of waterlogging and the texture, salinity nutrient and moisture content of the soil. The species composition of the trees varies considerably, but the most widespread and abundant dominant trees include Eucalyptus robusta Swamp Mahogany, Melaleuca quinquenervia and, south from Sydney, Eucalyptus botryoides Bangalay and Eucalyptus longifolia Woollybutt (OEH 2015a). -

Native Plants of Sydney Harbour National Park: Historical Records and Species Lists, and Their Value for Conservation Monitoring
Native plants of Sydney Harbour National Park: historical records and species lists, and their value for conservation monitoring Doug Benson National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Gardens, Mrs Macquaries Rd, Sydney 2000 AUSTRALIA [email protected] Abstract: Sydney Harbour National Park (lat 33° 53’S; long 151° 13’E), protects significant vegetation on the harbour foreshores close to Sydney City CBD; its floristic abundance and landscape beauty has been acknowledged since the writings of the First Fleet in 1788. Surprisingly, although historical plant collections were made as early as1802, and localised surveys have listed species for parts of the Park since the 1960s, a detailed survey of the flora of whole Park is still needed. This paper provides the first definitive list of the c.400 native flora species for Sydney Harbour National Park (total area 390 ha) showing occurrence on the seven terrestrial sub-regions or precincts (North Head, South Head, Dobroyd Head, Middle Head, Chowder Head, Bradleys Head and Nielsen Park). The list is based on historical species lists, records from the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (formerly Dept of Environment, Climate Change and Water) Atlas, National Herbarium of New South Wales specimen details, and some additional fieldwork. 131 species have only been recorded from a single precinct site and many are not substantiated with a recent herbarium specimen (though there are historical specimens from the general area for many). Species reported in the sources but for which no current or historic specimen exists are listed separately as being of questionable/non-local status. -
Enhancing Biodiesel from Kemiri Sunan Oil Manufacturing Using Ultrasonics
E3S Web of Conferences 31, 02014 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20183102014 ICENIS 2017 Enhancing Biodiesel from Kemiri Sunan Oil Manufacturing using Ultrasonics Slamet Supriyadi1,2; Purwanto Purwanto3; Didi Dwi anggoro3; Hermawan4 1Doctoral Program of Environmental Science, School of Postgraduate Studies, Diponegoro University, Semarang, Indonesia 2Department of Mechanical Engineering, Universitas PGRI Semarang, Semarang, , Indonesia 3Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Diponegoro University, Semarang, Indonesia 4Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Diponegoro University, Semarang, Indonesia Abstract. Kemiri Sunan (Reutalis trisperma (Blanco) Airy Shaw) is a potential plant to be developed as biodiesel feedstock. The advantage of Kemiri Sunan seeds when compared to other biodiesel raw materials is their high oil content. This plant is also very good for land conservation. Due the increasingly demand for biodiesel, research and new methods to increase its biodiesel production continue to be undertaken. The weakness of conventional biodiesel manufacturing process is in the mixing process in which mechanical stirring and heating in the trans-esterification process require more energy and a longer time. A higher and stronger mixing process is required to increase the contact area between the two phases of the mixed substance to produce the emulsion. Ultrasonic is a tool that can be useful for a liquid mixing process that tends to be separated. Ultrasonic waves can cause mixing intensity at the micro level and increase mass transfer, so the reaction can be performed at a much faster rate. This study is to figure out the effect of ultrasonic irradiation on the transesterification process of biodiesel from Kemiri Sunan Oil. -

Willd. Synonyms Aleurites javanicus Gand. Aleurites pentaphyllus Wall. ex Langeron Aleurites remyi Sherff Aleurites trilobus J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. Jatropha moluccana L. Aleurites moluccana, the Candlenut, is a flowering tree in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, also known as Candleberry, Indian walnut, Kemiri, Varnish tree, Nuez de la India, Buah keras or Kukui nut tree. Its native range is impossible to establish precisely because of early spread by humans, and the tree is now distributed throughout the New and Old World tropics. It grows to a height of 15–25 m (49–82 ft), with wide spreading or pendulous branches. The leaves are pale green, simple and ovate, or trilobed or rarely five-lobed, with an acute apex, 10–20 cm (3.9–7.9 in) long. The nut is round, 4–6 cm (1.6–2.4 in) in diameter; the seed inside has a very hard seed coat and a high oil content, which allows its use as a candle (see below), hence its name. Aleurites moluccana 2 Uses The nut is often used cooked in Indonesian and Malaysian cuisine, where it is called kemiri in Indonesian or buah keras in Malay. On the island of Java in Indonesia, it is used to make a thick sauce that is eaten with vegetables and rice. In the Philippines, the fruit and tree are traditionally known as Lumbang after which Lumban, a lakeshore town in Laguna is named although the name Jatropha has since gained more popularity. -
