Nutrient content and endemic red fruit oil (Pandanus austrosinensis) fatty acid profile in Papua Indonesia

Pandanaceae clan red fruit of the in Papua and West Papua provinces, there are as many as 600 to 700 species. The research location was in the village of Bowi Subur (Settlement Unit VI/SP VI) Masni District Manokwari Regency. This study aims to determine the nutritional content and fatty acid profile found in the Menja cultivar red fruit oil (Pandanus austrosinensis), Edewewits and Mengkin. The nutritional levels of Pandanus austrosinensis, Edewewits, and Mengkin are as follows: the protein is the same at 0.04%, the highest fat in the Menja cultivar (Pandanus austrosinensis) is 99.35%; Mengkin cultivars 98.46%; and Edewewits 98.06%. Consecutive water levels of the Menja cultivars (Pandanus austrosinensis) by 0.71%, Edewewits by 0.46%, and Mengkin by 0.40%. The successive values of the Edewewits cultivar were 4.95 milliequivalents/1000 g, Pandanus austrosinensis were 4.91 mEq/kg, and the Mengkin cultivar was 2.96 milliequivalents/1000 g. The dominant fatty acid content; Menja cultivars (Pandanus austrosinensis): oleic acid 70.55%, palmiticic acid 10.45%; Edewewits cultivar: oalmitic acid 72.00%; Mengkin kutivar: oleic acid 63.76% and palmitic acid 16.56%.
