Abstract

This community service program aims to enhance participants' knowledge, awareness, and independence in the early detection of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) through blood pressure, blood glucose, and uric acid screening, as an effort to control NCD cases in line with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for global well-being. The methods implemented included socialization and health screenings for 55 participants (average age 41 years; range 26-56 years; 67% male, 33% female), with 50 participants screened for blood glucose and uric acid (74% male, 26% female). Screening results showed: normal blood pressure in 45 people (81.9%), prehypertension in 8 people (14.5%), stage 1 hypertension in 2 people (3.6%); normal blood glucose in 44 people (88%), prediabetes in 5 people (10%), diabetes in 1 person (2%); and normal uric acid levels in 47 people (94%), hyperuricemia in 3 people (6%). All participants understood the importance of early NCD detection and committed to creating a healthier and more productive community.

Abstract

A healthy lifestyles require both synthetic antioxidants and those sourced from food. Antioxidants can be obtained from food ingredients or can also be synthetic oxidants. Antioxidants derived from plants contain quite high levels. One type of tropical fruit contains antioxidants is the banana, and one cultivar of banana is Musa paradisiaca Forma typiaca, locally name is Ketip. The research aimed to compare the phytochemical profile of peel ethanol extract of this cultivar using different sample preparation techniques and then compare the antioxidant capacity of the extracts using the DPPH method. This research employed two types of techniques in preparing the sample. The first one leaves the sap attached to the sample, the second one uses tissue paper to reduce the follicular substances, soon after chopping the sample. Phytochemical results of the extract prepared by the first technique showed that the extract contains flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, terpenoids, and tannins, while the extract prepared by the second technique also detected phenolic compounds. Despite the phytochemical profile showing no difference at all from both techniques, their antioxidant capacity showed a significant difference. The IC50 score of the extract prepared by the first technique was 554,84. This score is categorized in the very weak activity group, whereas the IC50 score of the extract prepared by the second technique was 202,13. This score is categorized in the intermediate activity group. It is concluded that the follicular substances significantly increase the IC50 score of ethanol extract of Ketip banana peel.

Abstract

Neem (Azadirachta indica) is a highly respected medicinal plant and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. The use of plants as medicine is important to know the secondary metabolite content in the plant. Phytochemical screening is a qualitative method aimed at tracing the presence of secondary metabolites contained in plants so that their potential as medicinal plants can be used. This research is an experimental laboratory using the maceration extraction method to obtain neem leaf extract. This research aims to identify secondary metabolite compounds contained in the ethanol extract of neem leaves. This study conducted flavonoid, tannin, alkaloid, steroid and saponin tests for the ethanol extract of neem leaves. The results obtained from the neem extract contain flavonoid, tannin, alkaloid, steroid and saponin compounds. In conclusion, phytochemical screening shows that the methanol extract of neem leaves (Azadirachta indica Juss) positively contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenols, terpenoids, and steroids.

Abstract

Azadirachta indica Juss. (neem), a medicinal plant belonging to the Meliaceae. The leaves of this species contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, saponins, tannins, and azadirachtin. These compounds exhibit antimicrobial activity against Salmonella and Escherichia coli. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of the neem leaves' methanol extract by using the DPPH method. The research method used phytochemical screening by separating chemical compounds from samples using 70% methanol solvent. The result showed that the antioxidant activity of the neem leaves' methanol extract is classified in the weak category with an IC50 score of 426.15 mg/mL. One of the main factors explaining the high IC50 values is the differences in the chemical structure and molecular shape of the secondary metabolites contained in the extracts. The antioxidant activity of flavonoids and phenolics is greatly influenced by the number and position of hydroxyl groups, the degree of conjugation, and the presence of sugar groups.

Abstract

Ocimum basilicum L. (basil) leaves are widely recognized for their potential bioactive compounds. This study aimed to qualitatively evaluate the phytochemical constituents of ethanolic extracts of basil leaves. Dried basil leaves were extracted using 96% ethanol, and the resulting extract was subjected to standard phytochemical screening tests to identify major secondary metabolites. The results revealed a strong presence of alkaloids and steroids, indicating that these compounds are dominant constituents in the ethanolic extract. In addition, flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic compounds were detected at lower intensities, suggesting their presence in smaller amounts. Conversely, terpenoids and saponins were not detected in the extract. These findings indicate that ethanol is an effective solvent for extracting alkaloids and steroids from basil leaves, while its efficiency for terpenoids and saponins may be limited. The presence of these secondary metabolites supports the potential biological activity of Ocimum basilicum leaves and provides a scientific basis for further studies on their pharmacological and biological activities.
