Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) or fragrant nutmeg is an important commodity that has been used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, hence its quality should be monitored. The objectives of this study were to: 1) identify Critical Control Points (CCP) nutmeg’s postharvest handling process prepare HACCP (Hazard Analysis Point) System 2) provide a recommendation on GHP (Good Handling Practices)...

Abstract An effort to solve sex-determining problems in nutmeg cultivation is using shoot grafted seeds of known sex parental tree through epicotyl grafting. However, constraint grafting has a relatively high mortality rate due suboptimal microclimates. Therefore, the study aimed increase grafted-nutmeg seeds’ viability and plant vigor field micro-clipping microclimate optimization. The experim...

Dieback disease caused by L. theobromae has destroyed nutmeg plantations in Aceh Selatan. Until now, effective control not been found, while farmer continue to use pesticides that have a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, biological is an alternative environmentally friendly being promoted. The purpose of this researth was dieback inducing resistance using three spesies Trichoderma ...

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study is to investigate the quality nutmeg with different degrees maturity in sun drying based on national standards Indonesia, namely Calibrated Nutmeg (CN), ABCD (Average), shrivel, and BWP (Broken Wormy Punky). The result showed that older degree give better quality. 7 months contain 0 % CN, 7.16 ABCD, 13.09 Shrivel, 79.75 BWP. 8 7.90 13.3 65.68 9 30.12 38.27 20...

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability of twelve lignans and three phenolic malabaricones from the seeds of Myristica fragrans (nutmeg) were studied with the MDCK-pHaMDR cell monolayer model. The samples were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography and the apparent permeability coefficients (Papp) were calculated. Among the fifteen test compounds, benzonfuran-type, dibenzylbutane...
