Abstract

Buah Merah (Pandanus conoideus Lamk.) is an endemic plant of Papua with significant potential in health and economic sectors. This study aims to identify and compare the physical and chemical characteristics of various Buah Merah varieties originating from Gearek District, Nduga Regency, Papua Pegunungan Province. The characteristics analyzed include size, shape, color, and key nutritional components such as beta-carotene, antioxidants, and other essential vitamins. The research method involved sampling different local varieties from Gearek District and conducting laboratory analyses to determine their chemical composition and physical characteristics. The results indicate significant differences in size, color, and nutrient content among the varieties. Some varieties exhibited higher beta-carotene and antioxidant content, highlighting their potential as leading candidates for the development of natural health products. This research provides essential data to support the cultivation, utilization, and marketing of Buah Merah as a valuable local product, promoting sustainable resource management in Papua
