Abstract

The Moringa plant, a tropical species, exhibits prolific growth and is abundantly present in Indonesia and other tropical regions worldwide. An extended lifespan, continuous flowering, and a high tolerance for elevated temperatures characterize it. Utilizing its components, including leaves, bark, seeds, and roots, this multifaceted plant is renowned for its therapeutic properties. The plant's antioxidants and various nutrients, including vitamins and minerals (iron, magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin B2, vitamin C, and vitamin A), have led to studies on the plant's potential health benefits. In order to develop the local economy in Ulakan village, Padang Pariaman Regency, Moringa plants were processed by using the plant leaves to manufacture herbal tea, which can then be sold. This community service program was significant given the widespread presence and ease of cultivation of Moringa plants within the local region. The program involved the planning and selection of the activity site, the implementation of training sessions, and the assessment of the program's outcomes. The result of this community engagement initiative was the demonstrated interest of many participants in producing Moringa leaf tea.

Abstract

Syzygium myrtifolium Walp. is an ornamental plant traditionally used as an herbal medicine. Ethanol extract of Syzygium myrtifolium Walp. has been reported to have activities as an antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial. In this study, Syzygium myrtifolium Walp is extracted. Leaves were carried out using a multistage maceration method using methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane solvents. Antioxidant, antimicrobial, and toxicity tests were performed, and secondary metabolite compounds, total flavonoid content, and total phenolic content were identified on red leaf extract. Total phenolic content was tested using the Folin-Ciocalteau reagent, total flavonoids with the AlCl3 reagent, antioxidants with the DPPH method, antimicrobial using the disc diffusion method, and toxicity tested using the BSLT method. The result showed that Syzygium myrtifolium Walp. Red leaf extract contained a secondary metabolite of triterpenoids, steroids, phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, and coumarins. The ethyl acetate and methanol extract's total phenolic and flavonoid content were 311.0520 and 420.360 mg GAE/g extract and 211.788 and 105.360 mg QE/g extract. Antioxidant activity of ethyl acetate and methanol showed that the extracts were highly antioxidant with IC50 of 19.606 and 12.0656 mg/L. The antimicrobial activity showed that the hexane extract was resistant to the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes and the fungus Candida albicans. However, no inhibition zones were produced for Pseudomonas aerigunosa and Escherichia coli bacteria. The toxicity test showed that the hexane and ethyl acetate extract had strong toxic properties with LC50 of 56.65 and 16.79 mg/L, and the methanol extract was toxic with LC50 of 224.2846 mg/L.
