Satellite Biotechnology R&D (MOSTI)
The MOSTI fund (RM250,000) under the Satellite
Biotechnology initiative for the project entitled
“Identification and utilisation of naturallyoccurring effective micro-organisms on compost
for cultivation of herbs” had started in June 2006.
Research 1: Microbial succession and
identification in dairy and poultry manure
composting (completed)
Research 2: Effect of C/N Compost ratio in
relation to the asiaticoside content in pegaga
(Centella asiatica) (completed)
The Development of Production Protocols to
Commercialise Production of Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca
alternifolia) (MOSTI Technofund)
This project aims to develop a complete localisation of the technologies required to
successfully develop tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) as a commercial crop in Sabah.
Scope of Work:
Propagation – germination from seeds, tissue culture and grafts to develop a
commercially valuable planting material for the development of plantations and
nursery care;
Workers in the field
Planting, maintenance and harvesting – development of efficient methods to match
the specific requirements of Sabah in both the small holder and plantation sector,
particularly focusing on organic and integrated methods of cultivation and
maintenance; and
Oil extraction and post harvest handling – the development of an efficient steam
distillation system, utilising non-petroleum source of energy to develop world
acceptable practice and sustainability, and at the same time efficiency in accordance
with the local conditions in Sabah.

Integrated Herbal Medicine Knowledge Base
Database (MOSTI Technofund) http://www.sabahinfomed.com.my
This project aims to develop an integrated
Herbal Medicinal Knowledge Base (HMKB). The
knowledge database will be built utilizing latest
semantic technology that enables relationship
and links between concepts to be formed within
the knowledge base. Knowledge (or data)
acquired and stored in the database would
come from many sources within the herbal
medicine industry. In the early implementation
stage, most of the information and data
gathered would come from the current ethnobotanical knowledge of Sabah.
