Abstract (en)
This doctoral dissertation investigates the biotechnological potential of traditionally used plant and animal raw materials from Rujan Mt. in southeastern Serbia. The study area is characterized by high biological diversity and a multicultural population structure, which has contributed to the development of rich traditional knowledge regarding the use of natural resources.
Field research was conducted in 2022 in 25 villages within the municipalities of Preševo and Bujanovac. A total of 130 respondents aged 41 to 91 years, belonging to Serbian and Albanian ethnic communities, were interviewed. The collected data were analyzed using statistical and multivariate methods, including the Informant Consensus Factor (ICF), chi-square test (χ²), multivariate correspondence analysis, and the Jaccard similarity index.
The results show that plant raw materials on Mount Rujan are used in ethnomedicine, ethnoveterinary medicine, human nutrition, traditional dyeing, as well as in various technological and practical applications. In ethnomedicine, the use of 101 plant species for treating 17 disease categories was recorded, while 43 species were documented in ethnoveterinary medicine. Additionally, 35 wild edible plant species used in human nutrition in various ways were recorded, along with 14 species used for dyeing wool and textiles. Beyond plant materials, the use of 36 animal-derived raw materials in ethnomedicine and ethnoveterinary practices.
The research revealed a significant number of new data regarding the use of plant and animal raw materials that have not previously been documented in ethnobiological studies in the Balkan Peninsula. The obtained results represent a significant scientific contribution to biotechnology, as they highlight the potential of traditional natural resources for further biotechnological research and their application in the development of therapeutic products, functional foods, and environmentally friendly products.
