“…So that said that the use of Moringa extract can be alternative water treatment (Metsopkeng et al, 2020). Study also has done for test effectiveness methanol extract of M. oleifera leaves various concentration to lactobacillus bacteria (Owusu-Ansah et al, 2023).…”

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the phytochemical constituent of Moringa oleifera leaf extract and determine the inhibition of these extract against Escherichia coli bacteria. Methodology: This was a laboratory experimental study. Moringa leaves was collected from Semau Island, East Nusa tenggara, Indonesia. Quantitative testing was carried out to determine the bioactive components of Moringa leaf extract. The well diffusion method was used to test the inhibitory activity of moringa leaf extract against E. coli. The treatment were divided into 10 extract concentrations (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%,70%, 80%, 90%, 100%). Results: This study showed the presence of flavonoids, phenols, alkaloids, tannins and saponins in M. oleifera leaf extract. M. oleifera leaf extract has different inhibitory properties against E. coli bacteria. Moringa extract concentrations of 10%, 20% and did not show inhibitory activity against E. coli while the others concentrations were able to inhibit the growth of E. coli. The average inhibition zone diameter for each concentration varied i.e 1.91 mm (40%), 6.27 mm (50%), 8.53mm (60%), 10.39 mm (70%), 12.80 mm (80%), 14.84 mm (90%) and 19.04 mm (100%). The most effective for inhibiting the growth of E. coli bacteria was 100%. The results of statistical analysis using repeated ANOVA tests obtained p value 0.001 (p<0.05) that means the M. oleifera leaf extract able to inhibit E. coli. Contributions: We conclude that M. oleifera leaves have the potential as an antibacterial, so further studies related to the use of M. oleifera in overcoming various environmental health problems is needed.

Medicinal plants are the source of treatment for many diseases and ailments throughout the developing world. Studies on them could lead to the finding of novel drugs for effective treatment of various diseases. We have chosen one of the most commonly used plants of Cymbopogon citrates leaves for the present study which was screened for phytochemical and antibacterial properties. The antibacterial activity test was evaluated qualitatively through the use of diffusion method on a solid medium and direct contact method using the following microbial isolate: Staphylococcus aureus, and E. coli. The study revealed that Cymbopogon citrate extracts contained rich availability of tannins, flavonoids, saponins, glycoside, alkaloids and steroids as the secondary metabolites. Furthermore, the extracts of plant leaves were found to have possessed the antibacterial properties for wide a range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains and demonstrated the best inhibition against Escherichia coli with an inhibition zone of 21 mm at a concentration 300 mg/ml.

Nutritional status and health are crucial factors in maintaining a healthy pregnancy, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between CGOL (Chlorophyll, Ginger, Orange, and Lemongrass) consumption and confirmed COVID-19 cases in pregnant women. The research, conducted in East Java with 250 purposively sampled respondents, employed a correlational cross-sectional design. Data were collected through questionnaires, Likert scales, and documentation. Analysis of research data using descriptive analysis and Spearman-Rho analyses. The study revealed that CGOL consumption in pregnant women was 28% less than optimal, 21.2% moderate and 50.8% optimal. Confirmed COVID-19 cases in pregnant women are 10%, and 90% are not confirmed. There was a significant relationship between CGOL consumption and confirmation of COVID-19 in pregnant women (p-value=0.0001). These findings emphasize the importance of integrating CGOL-based nutritional guidelines into prenatal care programs, particularly during pandemics, to enhance pregnant women's and their babies' health.
