Abstract

Antibacterial compounds are bioactive substances capable of inhibiting bacterial growth by disrupting the metabolism and cellular processes of pathogenic microorganisms. Natural plant-derived compounds have been widely explored for their antibacterial properties, with star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) and betel leaf (Piper betle) recognized for their potent antimicrobial effects. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of a combination of star fruit and betel leaf extracts against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, two clinically significant bacterial pathogens. The extraction process was performed using hydro-extraction at different temperatures (40°C, 50°C, 60°C, and 90°C) to determine the optimal conditions for bioactive compound yield. Antibacterial activity was assessed using the disc diffusion method, measuring inhibition zones to indicate bacterial susceptibility. The results demonstrated that the optimal inhibitory effect occurred at 50°C, producing an inhibition zone of 19.75 mm for Staphylococcus aureus and 11.75 mm for Escherichia coli. These findings suggest that temperature plays a critical role in maximizing the antibacterial potential of plant extracts. The study highlights the potential application of star fruit and betel leaf extracts as natural antibacterial agents, particularly against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Further research is recommended to explore the mechanism of action, phytochemical composition, and potential synergy of these extracts in antimicrobial formulations.

Abstract

Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera L.) are rich in secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids, which function as natural antioxidants. This study aimed to analyze the metabolite profile of M. oleifera leaf extracts obtained through two extraction techniques using LC-MS, evaluate their antioxidant activity via the DPPH assay, and predict the interaction between NADPH oxidase (as a receptor) and key plant-derived compounds through molecular docking. LC-MS results indicated that the maceration method yielded 101 secondary metabolites, with flavonoid derivatives comprising 70.99% of the extract, dominated by five key compounds including Kaempferol 3-O-robinobioside and Luteolin-7-glucoside. In contrast, the Soxhlet method resulted in 83 identified compounds, with a higher proportion of flavonoids (75.61%), and prominent compounds including quercetin-3-O-glucoside and Kaempferol 3-(6G-malonylneohesperidoside). Antioxidant testing with DPPH at concentrations of 10, 50, and 100 ppm revealed the Soxhlet extract had a stronger activity (IC₅₀ = 14.328 ppm) compared to the macerated extract (IC₅₀ = 32.092 ppm), with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). Molecular docking demonstrated that Kaempferol 3-(6G-malonylneohesperidoside) exhibited the strongest binding affinity to NADPH oxidase (-10.1 kcal/mol), followed by other flavonoid derivatives. These findings underscore the antioxidant potential of M. oleifera, particularly from Soxhlet extraction, and suggest its promising application in pharmaceutical development as a natural antioxidant source.

Abstract

Traditional medicine helps manage and treat various illnesses worldwide, particularly in Africa and Asia. For example, Traditional Indonesian Medicine (Jamu), Traditional Indian Medicine (Ayurveda), and Traditional African Medicine use a range of indigenous herbs to treat health conditions like fevers, malaria, diarrhea, diabetes mellitus, Asthma, and hypertension. Alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids, and polyphenols are bioactive substances with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant effects in plants. The Fabaceae family consists of flowering plants, peas, legumes, woody trees, and shrubs. Fabaceae plants are widely used across Africa and Asia for traditional medicinal purposes. In addition, Fabaceae plants have significant economic value as a source of wood for the timber industry. This review highlights extraction methods, isolated molecules, and antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of Fabaceae plants found in Africa and Asia. We also detailed secondary metabolite molecules extracted from Fabaceae plant body parts and their identified bioactivities. This review compiles scientific information on the phytochemicals and pharmacological properties of plants in the Fabaceae family that could be useful for future drug candidate investigations.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Peningkatan jumlah limbah organik, khususnya kotoran hewan dan garbage, menjadi tantangan tersendiri dalam pengelolaan lingkungan di berbagai daerah, termasuk di Kelurahan Srengat. Di sisi lain, potensi limbah tersebut belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal sebagai sumber daya yang bernilai ekonomis dan ekologis. Pengolahan kotoran sapi dan garbage menjadi kompos giling dan pelet merupakan salah satu solusi untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan prioritas mitra POKTAN “Mulyo Tani” Kelurahan Srengat yaitu dengan mengedukasi dan transfer ilmu pengetahuan tentang teknologi tepat guna mesin pembuat kompos giling dan pelet guna meningkatkan keberdayaan mitra dalam aspek produksi pupuk. Metode yang digunakan meliputi pelatihan, pendampingan teknis, dan implementasi langsung alat di lapangan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya penurunan timbunan limbah organik sebesar 60,5% dalam satu masa tanam (±3 bulan), serta peningkatan signifikan pada aspek produksi, yaitu dari 2,5 kuintal menjadi 14,2 kuintal kompos giling dan pelet per masa tanam. Selain itu, terjadi pergeseran praktik pertanian mitra dari yang semula bergantung pada pupuk anorganik menuju sistem pertanian berkelanjutan berbasis input lokal. Program ini tidak hanya meningkatkan kapasitas teknis dan ekonomi mitra, tetapi juga menciptakan model pengelolaan limbah ternak dan garbage yang ramah lingkungan dan dapat direplikasi. Dengan demikian, program PMP ini terbukti efektif dalam mendorong kemandirian, keberlanjutan, dan keberdayaan kelompok tani berbasis teknologi tepat guna.   Kata Kunci: Kelurahan Srengat, Kompos Giling Dan Pelet, Kotoran Hewan, Mesin Kompos, Teknologi Tepat Guna.  ABSTRACT The increasing volume of organic waste, particularly livestock manure, presents a growing environmental management challenge in rural areas, including Srengat Sub-district. Despite its potential, this waste has not been optimally utilized as a valuable economic and ecological resource. This community service program aimed to empower the “Mulyo Tani” farmer group through the introduction of appropriate technology—specifically, a compost grinding and pelletizing machine—to transform cow manure and household garbage into ground compost and organic pellets. The intervention involved structured training sessions, hands-on technical assistance, and the direct implementation of the equipment. Results indicate a 60.5% reduction in unprocessed organic waste over a single planting cycle (approximately three months), along with a significant increase in compost production from 2.5 to 14.2 quintals per cycle. Moreover, a behavioral shift was observed among the farmers, transitioning from reliance on chemical fertilizers to adopting a sustainable, locally sourced agricultural input system. This program not only enhanced the technical and economic capabilities of the farmer group but also established a replicable, environmentally friendly agricultural waste management model. The outcomes demonstrate that the PMP initiative effectively supports farmer independence, sustainability, and empowerment through the adoption of appropriate technology. Keywords: Srengat Sub-District, Compost and Pellets, Livestock Manure, Composting Machine, Appropriate Technology

Abstract

Anthracnose disease in chillies is a serious problem for farmers. So far, synthetic fungicides have been used as solution for the treatment of this disease. However, the side effects of synthetic fungicides to  public health and environment raised awareness on  alternative fungicides derived from natural resources. This paper aims to review plants that  are  potential as an alternative to fungicides for chili plantation, fabrication of test solutions, in vitro and in vivo fungicide test. Many plants  were investigated as alternatives to plant-based fungicide. The utilization of leaves as samples including rhizomes, roots, tubers, weevils, seeds, fruit, flowers and  other parts of the plant. The extract fabrication method used as a fungicide test include: maceration method, gradual fractionation method, and decoction method. The maceration method is the method most widely used to extract fungicidal active compounds from plants. Some studies that carried out in vitro tests were unable to compare with synthetic fungicides so it was not possible to determine their effectiveness for plant-based fungicide for chillies when compared to synthetic fungicides. In vitro Extract of 80% alcohol and 10%/60% n-hexane of pacar cina (Aglaia odorata L.) leaves can be compared with the performance of propineb 0.2%. In addition, the 60% and 70% kirinyuh (Chromolaena odorata L.) leaf extracts were also able to match Acrobat 0.2% performance in vitro. Based on the in vivo test, suren (Toona sureni Merr) leaf extract and nut bulbs can be used as an alternative to vegetable / natural fungicides to help overcome the problem of anthracnose in chilies.

Abstract

High levels of hardness can lead to increased cases of kidney stones. Hardness levels can be reduced by using activated carbon from the cocoa rind as an adsorbent. The purpose of this research was to determine the variation of activated carbon thickness and optimum retention time in reducing the calcium content of dug well water, to determine the percent decrease in calcium ion levels at the optimum variation, and to determine the significance of the difference in the decreased in calcium levels between the treatment groups. The research method used the principle of adsorption of activated carbon from cocoa shells to calcium ions, which are activated by KOH. There were ten treatment samples with different variations of activated carbon thickness and retention time. The results showed that the thickness of activated carbon of 60 cm with a retention time of 50 minutes had the optimum ability to reduce the calcium content of dug well water. The percentage decrease in calcium levels reached 89,041 % with a decreased concentration of 234 ppm. The result of the statistical test showed a significance value of 0,05. The conclusion of the research is that activated carbon of cocoa shells can reduce calcium levels to the levels of soft water hardness, with variations in activated carbon thickness and retention time having a significant effect.
