Low calcium intake, poor calcium absorption, excessive calcium losses, or some combination of these factors contribute to calcium deficiency diseases. Calcium insufficiency is associated with osteoporosis, hypertension and colon cancer among other diseases. For individuals who do not have access to milk and dairy products, do not tolerate them, or prefer not to consume them, plants may be  alternative sources of calcium. However, calcium bioavailability may be low in plant foods because calcium forms complexes with oxalates, phytate and other competing minerals. The objective of this study was to compare the calcium content, digestibility and bioaccessibility in the leaves of spinach (Spinacia oleracea), sweet potato (Ipomea batatas), and drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera). Calcium content was analyzed in dry leaf powder by atomic absorption, followed by a two-stage in vitro digestion and dialysis against a mock serum solution to determine calcium digestibility and bioaccessibility. Moringa oleifera had higher calcium content than spinach and sweet potato leaves: 1.54±0.11% of dry matter for three Moringa samples (two African and one from India), and 0.99±0.001 and 1.06±0.001, respectively, in spinach and sweet potato leaves. The mean in vitro calcium digestibility was 1.62±0.08% in spinach, 3.4±0.68% in sweet potato leaves and 33.7±9.6% for Moringa. A dialysis system was designed to model bioaccessibility of calcium, revealing that bioaccessible calcium in sweet potato leaves was a non-significant 1.4 times higher and in Moringa was 9.2 to 19.4 times higher than in spinach. Therefore, the calcium contained in Moringa leaves does not appear to be associated with poorly bioavailable complexes such as oxalate. We confirmed previous reports that bioaccessibility of the calcium is low in spinach. These findings imply that increased utilization of Ipomea batatas and Moringa oleifera leaves might increase calcium intake in people in tropical and warm temperate regions where these plants grow, or these plants might become a valuable export crop.

The objective of this research was  to obtain suitable concentration of sucrose and agar in the sweet potato (Ipomea batatas (L) Lam) in vitro preservation medium, in order to make plant grow slowly and healthy. Experiment was done in Molecular Biologi Laboratory of PAU IPB. The experiment was arranged in factorial complete random design, using sweet potato var. Sukuh in order to know the effect of sucrose (40,50,60,70 and 80 g l-1) and agar (7 and 8 g l-1) which were added 1 g l-1 hyponex fertilizer 20-20-20. The experiment was replicated four times. Data were analyzed parametrically and non-parametrically. The result of these experiments showed the suitable conservation media was 1 g l-1 hyponex 20-20-20 + 60 g l-1sucrose + 7 g l-1 agar. Threfore, the media composition MS could produce high green inter nodes number, high root number and more than two green leaf number. This experiment also showed that MS media could be replaced by a cheaper and easily found conservation medium.

The objectives of this research were to estimate responses of several sweet potato genotypes in preservation media through in vitro slow growth preservation, and to achieve cheap and accessible media. Experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with a single factor. The experimental factor was sweet potato genotype (Sukuh, 421.34,343.15 and 2040.8). These genotype were tested in a preservation media which consisted of 15% coconut water +  30 mg/l aspirin + 50 g/l sucrose + 7 g/l agar. Experiment was replicated four times. Data was analyzed parametrically and non-parametrically. The result showed that genotype gave high responses to preservation media. Genotype Sukuh produced highest leaves while genotype 421.34 yielded highest numbers of root and internode. In the preservation medium of Genotype Sukuh through in vitro slow growth preservation, aspirin could be added to inhibit growth by increased leaf senesence. This experiment also showed that Hiponex (20:20:20) could be used as the basic media for in vitro preservation of sweet potato

White sweet potato starch (Ipomea batatas L.) and avocado seed starch (Parsea americana Mill) derived from local plants have the potential to be developed as agricultural products. Starch is a hydrocolloid compound as a potential local resource to be utilized. Glycerol function as an anti-freezing which is hygroscopic. This study aims to determine the ratio of white sweet potato starch with avocado seed starch and the concentration of glycerol for making edible film. This study was an experiment using a completely randimized factorial design with 2 (two) main factor consisting of a comparison of white sweet potato starch and avocado seed with 3 levels: P1 = 35%:65%., P2=50%:50%., P3=65%:35% and glycerol concentration with 3 levels: G1=1%., G2=2%., G3=3%. The best result reasearch were content of 23.03% (tratment P1G1), solubility of 55.57% (treatment P3G2)., swelling test of 9.83% (treatment P2g3)., elongation of 8.18% (treatment P3G2)

In this study, Chinese yam starch-water suspension (8%) were subjected to high-pressure homogenization (HPH) at 100 MPa for increasing cycle numbers, and its effect of on the physicochemical properties of the starch was investigated. Results of the polarizing microscope observations showed that the starch granules were disrupted (i.e. greater breakdown value) after HPH treatment, followed by a decrease in cross polarization. After three HPH cycles, the crystallinity of starch decreased, while the crystal type remained unaltered. Meanwhile, the contents of rapidly digestible starch and slowly digestible starch were increased. On the contrary, resistant starch content was decreased. Our results indicate that HPH treatment resulted in reduction of starch crystallinity and increase of starch digestibility.
