Purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) leaves are extremely versatile that possesses high value. Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) leaves have secondary metabolism compounds that used as antibacterial and antifungal. The content of secondary metabolite compounds contained in plants an important role in providing antibacterial and antifungal activity so that this study was conducted to develop the utilization of purple sweet potato leaves through phytochemical screening. Phytochemical screening aims to provide an overview of the class of compounds contained in purple sweet potato leaf plants including of alkaloids, steroids-triterpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, and tannins test. Samples were taken from the local community of Bogor. The extract is made by extracting the simplicia of positive purple sweet potato leaves containing alkaloid, steroids-triterpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, and tannins. Further identification of active compounds was performed by Gass Cromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) analysis to detect the active compound contained in purple sweet potato leaf extract more specifically. GC-MS analysis results show several active compounds including: 1.4-Benzenediol (CAS) Hydroquinone, Benzenesulfonic acid 4-hydroxy (CAS), Hexadecanoic acid (CAS) Palmitic acid.

The minerals and nutritional values of leaves, fruits and seeds of many plants have been reported   to vary, depending on factors like generic background, location, environmental and cultivation methods. Thus, phytochemical, proximate and mineral compositions of Gamelina arborea (G. aborea ) fruits from Kaduna state in North central part of Nigeria were assessed using standard analytical procedures.   Qualitative phytochemical screening revealed that the fruit contained tarnnis, phenols, flavinods, saponins, reducing sugar and anthraquinones. The analysed G. aborea contained 7.30 % w/w ash, 5.00% w/w moisture, 5.31% w/w fat, 4.30% w/w fibre, 2.00% w/w protein and 75.00% w/w carbohydrate while its mineral compositions (mg/100g) were shown to contain  Na (21.70±1.00); Ca (29.70 ±2.00), K(14.50±1.50), P (10.36±0.90), N (0.18±0.00),  Cu (9.40±0.08),  and  Mn (21.70±1.00).  Therefore, this finding accounts for the use of G. arborea as supplement for minerals in animal feeds.

ABSTRAKASI merupakan sumber makanan yang mengandung nutrisi yang lengkap untuk bayi. Rendahnya cakupan ASI di Indonesia menyumbang akibat yang tidak baik bagi kesehatan bayi. Berdasarkan hasil survey pendahuluan, dari 10 ibu menyusui 6 (60%) diantaranya mengatakan bahwa pengeluaran ASI mereka tidak lancar. Salah satu solusi yang tepat untuk meningkatkan suplai ASI adalah dengan mengonsumsi daun ubi jalar yang dipercaya mengandung berbagai macam zat dan vitamin terutama vitamin A. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh pemberian rebusan daun ubi jalar terhadap kecukupan ASI pada ibu menyusui di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Campurejo Tahun 2016. Desain penelitian ini adalah pre eksperimental menggunakan rancangan pretest posttest design. Dalam penelitian ini diperoleh sampel 20 orang menggunakan teknik simple random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan lembar kuesioner dan penilaian. uji hipotesis yang digunakan adalah uji peringkat bertanda dari wilcoxon dengan nilai signifikasi α = 0,05. Hasil uji statistik dari Wilcoxon Sign Rank diperoleh nilai p value = 0,000 dengan taraf kesalahan (α =0,05) dapat dikatakan p ≤ α maka dapat disimpulakan bahwa H0 ditolak dan H1 diterima. Hal ini berarti ada pengaruh pemberian rebusan daun ubi jalar terhadap kecukupan ASI pada ibu menyusui diwilayah kerja puskesmas campurejo kota Kediri tahun 2016. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diharapkan bagi tenaga kesehatan dapat  dijadikan sebagai masukan untuk menggunakan daun ubi jalar untuk meningkatkan kecukupan ASI dalam pengembangan pengobatan tradisional. Kata Kunci : Kecukupan ASI, Daun Ubi jalar, Menyusui   ABSTRACTBreast milk is a food source that contains a complete nutritions for infants. Coverage of breast milk in Indonesia is still very low. Based on the preliminary results of the survey, from 10 breastfeeding mothers, there are 6 (60%) breastfeeding mom of them say that their breast milk isn’t enough for the babies. There’s a rightest solution to increase the breast milk supply, such as; the breastfeeding mom should eat or consume the sweet potato leaves that believed contains various nutritions and vitamins, especially vitamin A. The purpose of this study was to know the effect of giving sweet potato extract to breast milk adequacy on breastfeeding mothers in work area clinic of Campurejo Kediri City in 2016. The research design of this study was pre-experimental that using pre-test and post-test design. In this study obtained 20 samples of people that using simple random sampling technique. The collecting of data is done by using a questionnaires and assessment. The test hypothesis is marked on the Wilcoxon rank test with significance value α = 0.05. The result of statistical test Wilcoxon Sign Rank obtained p value = 0.000 with a standard error (α = 0.05) can be said p ≤ α then it means that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. This means that there is an effect of giving sweet potato extract to breast milk adequacy on breastfeeding mothers in work area clinic of Campurejo Kediri City in 2016. Based on the results is the researcher expecting for health workers can be used as input to use sweet potato leaves to improve the adequacy of breast milk in the development of traditional medicine. Keywords: Adequacy of Breast Milk, Sweet Potato Leaves, Breastfeeding.

Field pea seeds from 10 cultivars grown at two locations in Manitoba in 1986 and 1987 were analyzed for proximate and mineral profiles. Cultivars differed significantly in their level of total protein, crude fat, ADF, and all minerals tested. However, differences were not extremely large and were comparable to European reports. Location-year also had a significant effect on the levels of total protein, ADF, and all minerals tested. In most cases, the warmest location-year produced relatively higher levels of minerals, ash, and total protein, and lower seed yield than the coolest location-year. Key words: Field pea, Pisum sativum L., mineral
