Abstract

The emergence of drug resistant and multidrug-resistant microbes as well as the lack of any current chemotherapy augmented the necessity to search for new and better anti-infective drug.. This study was aim to screen potential antiinfective extracts of sponges collected from Bunaken, Manado and to report on their antibacterial and antifungal properties. Testing for antiinfective agents was conducted using dilution method. Nutrient Agar was used as the testing media and nutrient broth for the inoculation of microorganisms. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi were used as the testing bacteria and Candida albicans as the testing fungi. Chloramphenicol was used as positive control for anti bacterial activity and Ketokonazol for antifungi. The two acetone extracts tested (MD-01aceton and MD-02aceton), all of them showed inhibition activities. Following partition with chloroform and methanol, all chloroform extracts inhibited the growth of both bacteria and fungi. These extracts then are considered to be potential candidates for further isolation and characterization as antiinfective agents.

Abstract

Introduction: Eco enzyme is a fermented product derived from a mixture of organic waste, sugar, and water (3:1:10). Fermented products produce alcohol (ethanol), which can be used as a reference for quality control, regulatory compliance, and biological activity. Several factors can affect alcohol content, including the type of sugar and fermentation time, both of which have not been widely researched. Objectives: This study aims to determine the effects of different types of sugar and fermentation time on the total alcohol content of eco-enzymes derived from pineapple and orange peels. Methods: The eco enzymes formed were evaluated organoleptically (color and aroma), pH, and total alcohol content were determined by the colorimetric method. Results: All samples changed color and aroma, formed sediment, and had a decrease in pH from a range of 5–6 to 3.44–4.22 after fermentation. The average total alcohol content obtained at fermentation after 30, 60, and 90 consecutive days was 2.336%, 3.072%, and 2.149%, respectively. The highest alcohol content was obtained in the 60-day fermentation molasses treatment of 3.512 ± 0.498%. Statistical analysis showed that fermentation time had a significant effect on the total alcohol content of eco enzymes (p < 0.001), whereas sugar type did not (p = 0.129). Conclusions: The results of this study show that fermentation time is an important factor in determining alcohol formation in the eco enzyme.
