Abstract

The utilization of non-timber forest products of mangrove palm (Nypa fruticans Wurmb) of
sap produced through the process of tapping,  is still made   by the traditional way with the
amount of sap production is still small or limited for consumption purposes. Sap which
contains sugar has a potency to be fermented  into ethanol which is a source of green
energy. The problem is the amount of available sap as raw material obtained by traditional
tapping is still limited, therefore, more efforts to increase productivity are needed. The
purpose of this study was to explore several methods of tapping palm from traditional way
towards  non-conventional technologies. This study used an experimental method examining
several factors including 1) Duration of pre-tap (10 days, 20 days, 30 days) 2). Pre-tapping
stimulation (without and with stimulation) 3) Type of container (non-vacuum container
(traditional), 1.5 L small vacuum container, 2L medium vacuum container  and 20L large
vacuum containers). 4) The level of luxuriance palm leaf midrib (not dense 0-2 midrib, less
dense 3-4 midrib and dense > 4 midrib). Observed variables are sap volumes include volumes
of palm sap/stem, sugar, tapping duration/stem. The result obtained from tapping process
on mangrove forest in Lubuk Muda Village, Siak Kecil District, Bengkalis Regency Riau
Province showed that optimal productivity were obtained on 1). Pre-tapping stimulation
at 30 days. 2) Treatment with pre-tapping stimulation. 3) Harvesting on the medium vacuum
container and 4) found in dense leaf midrib.
