Climatic adaptation of the Ziziphus mauritiana plant in the region wet tropics on phytochemical of fruit and leaf organs
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Global climate change is sometimes beneficial for the growth and development of a plant. The bidara plant (Ziziphus mauritiana), usually grows and yield well in areas of origin with dry climates, deserts, low soil and air humidity with low rainfall per year, and is able to adapt well in wet tropical regions with low average daily temperatures and high humidity. The impact of ENSO in the last two years has caused Z.mauritiana plant cultivated in the wet tropics, of Bandung city, to be able to form fruits. The symplicia of the fruit and leaf organs of Z. mauritiana the was obtained through the maceration method and then screened various types of phytochemicals contained in the two organs using a GCMS chromatography tool of the Shimidzu brand type 2010 QP. The results of screening on fruit organs and Z. mauritiana leaf, it appeared that fruit organs were dominated by derivatives of compounds containing are acetic acid, malic acid, cinnamic acid, chlorogenic acid, silicic acid, and carbinol. The leaf organ of the identified bidara contains only carbinol and methane compounds.
