The biodiversity of local plants on Phraek Nam Daeng community Amphawa, Samut Songkhram province, Thailand has been the result of the terrain as a source of freshwater and salty. This study was carried out to evaluate the phytochemical screening and nutritional value of 6 local plants in the Phraek Nam Daeng community including: Azima sarmentosa Benth, Pluchea indica (L) Less,, Boehravia diffusa L, Acanthus ilicifolius L, Sesuvium portulacastrum L and Derris trifoliata Lour. The phytochemical analysis was performed for alkaloid, tannin, terpenoid, flavonoid, anthraquinone and cardiac glycoside. Nutritional analysis of proximal composition of local plants using the method of AOAC (2005),Which consist of moisture content, protein content, lipid content, fiber content, total ash content and carbohydrate content. The results showed that phytochemical screening of 6 local plants, the methanolic extracts have the presence of bioactive substances such as alkaloid, tannin, terpenoid, flavonoid, anthraquinone and cardiac glycoside. The most nutritional composition of local plants showed that the moisture content was Sesuvium portulacastrum L, protein content was Acanthus ilicifolius L, lipid and carbohydrate content was Azima sarmentosa Benth. & Hook, fiber content was Pluchea indica (L) Less., these represent the potential of food crops for food security and sustainable use of biodiversity.

The identification of chemical compounds in Nipah (Nypa fruticans Wurmb) endosperm has been done. The extraction of chemical compounds in Nipah endosperm has been done using the maceration method with heating and followed with absorbs-desorbs on active carbon given ethanol fraction. The result obtained was a brownish-yellow fraction. The phytochemical screening test did on endosperm and ethanol fraction. Phytochemical screening results showed that the Nipah endosperm contains phenolic, tannin, flavonoid, and saponin compounds, while the ethanol fraction of Nipah endosperm did not contain alkaloid, flavonoid, steroid, triterpenoid, phenolic, tannin, and saponin compounds. Based on UV-vis, IR, and GCMS spectra, the ethanol fraction contains of furfural compounds.

West Aceh Region have Nypa  fruticans mangrove community that distributed almost ± 100 Ha. But there are several habitat of N. fruticans have experienced damage that caused by tsunami. The utilization of N. fruticans still limited that only utilized its leaves as cigarette. The utilization of N. fruticans toward marine natural product for overcoming healthy community. The aim of this research is to study the phytochemical screening of  N. fruticans fresh leave from the coast of West Aceh. The method was used by using experimental. The result shown phytochemical properties in N. fruticans fresh leaves shown that N. fruticans plant contained phenolic, flavonoid, tannin, saponin and triterpenoid. This indicated that the phenolic, flavonoid, tannin and saponin compounds in such sample that have potency as food and non-food sources. Keywords : Phytochemical, West Aceh, Screening, N. fruticans leaveWest Aceh Region have Nypa  fruticans mangrove community that distributed almost ± 100 Ha.

Setiap ekosistem  mangrove mempunyai keanekaragaman vegetasi yang berbeda, begitu juga halnya pada kawasan mangrove di Pulau Mecan. Pengumpulan data vegetasi dilakukan dengan pencacahan jenis-jenis flora mangrove di sepanjang garis transek. Metode Spot Check dilakukan untuk melengkapi informasi flora mangrove diluar jalur garis transek, dilakukan dengan cara mengamati dan memeriksa zona-zona tertentu dalam ekosistem mangrove yang memiliki ciri khusus. Pengukuran parameter fisik-kimia air menunjukan bahwa salinitas (29-30o/oo), pH (6,0-6,5), suhu (29-30OC), DO (6,5mg/l), kecerahan (8m). Hasil inventarisasi flora pada lokasi pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 32 jenis flora penyusun hutan mangrove yang teramati. Jenis flora mangrove tersebut terdiri dari 15 jenis mangrove sejati, 3 jenis mangrove pendukung, dan 14 jenis asosiasi mangrove. Inventarisasi terhadap jenis flora mangrove sejati meliputi Rhizophora. mucronata, R. apiculata, Bruguiera gymnorrhiz, B.  cylindrica, Lumnitzera littorea, L. recemos, Ceriops tagal, C. decandra, Avicennia lanata,  A.  alba, Xylocarpus granatum, X. mollucensis dan Nypa fruticans. Mangrove sejati didominan oleh Rizophora mucronata dan R. apiculata. Sedangkan jenis mangrove pendukung terdiri Aegiceras corniculatum, Scyphiphora hydrophyllaceae dan Excoecaria agallocha. Pada kawasan pengamatan juga dijumpai  jenis mangrove asosiasi atau ikutan yaitu Acanthus ilicifolius, Terminalia catappa, Hibiscus tiliaceus, Pemphis acidula, Ximenia americana, Dischidia bengalensis, Dischidia rafflesiana, Sarcolobus banksii, Sesuvium portulacastrum, Acrostichum aureum, Acrosticum aureum, Scaevola taccada, Pandanus tectorius dan Clerodendrum inerme

Dermestes maculatus is a major pest of stored fish in Nigeria, fish is preserved with highly persistent synthetic chemicals. There have been an increasing effort at developing plant-based toxicants that are environmentally friendly. Therefore, this study was conducted to screen the leaf extract of Azadirachta indica for phytochemical constituents. The efficacy of the methanolic leaf extract of the plant against D. maculatus was also evaluated. The leaves of A. indica were obtained, processed and taken to laboratory for methanolic extraction. Phytochemical screening was carried out to identify saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, steroids, cardiac glycosides, glycosides, triterpenes and carbohydrates using standard procedure.  Both clean and infested samples of smoke-dried Clarias gariepinus were purchased from Sabon Gari Market, Zaria. The infested samples were used as initial source of D. maculatus larvae. Range finding test was carried out prior to the bioassay. During the bioassay, clean un-infested fish samples were weighed and introduced into kilner jars and respective dosages of 0.2g, 0.4g, 0.6g and 0.8g of extract were added. Another set of fish samples without the extract were maintained as control. The experiment was arranged in Completely Randomized Design with three replicates. Fifteen larvae of D. maculatus were introduced into both treated and control containers and covered. Mortality was recorded after 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. Data obtained revealed an increase in mortality with increasing dose and time. Mortality ranged from 1.67 to 11.00. Therefore, leaf extract of A. indica should be incorporated in the development of larvicide against D. maculatus.
