Abstract

The inappropriate use of antibiotics can lead to pathogenic bacteria developing multiple drug resistance, making infectious disease treatment crucial. Thus, the discovery of novel antibiotics from natural materials, such as plant extracts or their combinations, is critically needed. Extracts of green betel (Piper betle) and Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves are known to have antimicrobial activity. This study aimed to determine the chemical content and antimicrobial activity of ethanol extracts of the combination of green betel leaves and Moringa leaves against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. Green betel and Moringa leaves were macerated in 96% ethanol to extract secondary metabolites. Secondary metabolites were analyzed using phytochemical screening. Antimicrobial activity was tested using disk diffusion using various concentrations: EF1 (25% betel leaves + 75% moringa leaves), EF2 (50% betel leaves + 50% moringa leaves), and EF3 (75% betel leaves + 25% moringa leaves). Phytochemical tests showed that the ethanol extracts of betel leaves contained flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins, and no terpenoids, while moringa leaves contain flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids, but no alkaloids. S. aureus and E. coli had the highest inhibition zones at EF3 (75% betel leaves + 25% moringa leaves) concentrations, with average inhibition zones of 21.72 mm and 20.98 mm, respectively, and C. albicans at EF2 (50% betel leaves + 50% moringa leaves) concentration, with an average inhibition zone of 26.52 mm, with a very strong inhibition category.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan inventarisasi jenis burung di kawasan wisata Coban Talun, Kota Batu, Jawa Timur. Burung berperan penting dalam ekosistem sebagai penyebar biji, penyerbuk, dan pengendali serangga sehingga keberadaannya menjadi indikator kualitas lingkungan. Metode pengamatan yang digunakan adalah point count dan line transect pada dua stasiun, yaitu hutan pinus dan ladang terbuka, yang dilakukan pada pagi hari. Data yang dikumpulkan mencakup jenis, famili, nama lokal, serta jumlah individu burung yang teramati, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan indeks keanekaragaman Shannon-Wiener. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat 24 spesies burung dari 16 famili. Stasiun hutan pinus mencatat 16 spesies dari 13 famili dengan spesies dominan Cucak Kutilang (Pycnonotus aurigaster) dan nilai indeks keanekaragaman sebesar 2,40 (kategori sedang). Stasiun ladang mencatat 15 spesies dari 10 famili dengan spesies dominan Walet Linci (Collocalia linchi) dan nilai indeks keanekaragaman sebesar 2,37 (kategori sedang). Perbedaan komposisi spesies dan nilai indeks yang hampir sama menunjukkan bahwa kondisi vegetasi pada masing-masing habitat berpengaruh terhadap keberadaan burung, di mana hutan pinus dengan tegakan rapat memberikan keragaman yang lebih merata sedangkan ladang terbuka lebih dipengaruhi oleh dominansi spesies tertentu. Hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi dasar dalam upaya konservasi serta pengelolaan kawasan wisata Coban Talun secara berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Keamanan pangan merupakan aspek penting yang menentukan kualitas kesehatan masyarakat, terutama pada produk hewani seperti daging ayam. Penanganan dan penyimpanan yang tidak higienis dapat menyebabkan terjadinya kontaminasi mikroba yang berpotensi menurunkan kualitas serta membahayakan konsumen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kualitas mikrobiologi daging ayam broiler yang dijual di pasar tradisional Kecamatan Bangil, Kabupaten Pasuruan, dengan fokus pada parameter Total Plate Count (TPC), keberadaan Escherichia coli, dan Salmonella sp. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik sampling jenuh. Sebanyak 10 sampel daging diuji menggunakan metode TPC, media EMBA untuk E. coli, dan media SSA untuk Salmonella sp. Hasil uji menunjukkan bahwa satu sampel (10%) melebihi ambang batas TPC berdasarkan SNI 7388:2009 yaitu 1×10⁶ CFU/g, sedangkan sembilan lainnya masih dalam batas aman. Pengujian E. coli menunjukkan bahwa 3 dari 10 sampel (30%) positif terkontaminasi, dan uji Salmonella sp. juga menunjukkan 3 sampel (30%) positif. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun sebagian besar sampel memenuhi standar mutu mikrobiologis, masih terdapat risiko kontaminasi patogen yang dapat membahayakan kesehatan konsumen jika daging tidak dimasak dengan benar. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pengawasan sanitasi dan edukasi terkait penanganan daging ayam di pasar tradisional
