<![CDATA[Eco-enzyme is a fermentation product derived from organic materials that can potentially be produced from various biomass sources, yet the use of wild grasses on vacant land as a primary raw material has not been widely investigated. This study aimed to determine the potential of wild grasses as the main substrate for eco-enzyme production by observing its physical, chemical, and phytochemical characteristics. Eco-enzyme was produced through the fermentation of wild grasses with the addition of lemon peel as an aromatic additive, and the resulting product was analyzed in terms of color, odor, pH, nutrient content of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), as well as phytochemical compounds. The results showed that the resulting eco-enzyme had a cloudy brownish color, a fresh and slightly sweet aroma, and a pH value of 3 across all variations, indicating the formation of organic acids during fermentation. Nutrient analysis yielded positive results for N and P, while K was not detected, and phytochemical tests indicated the presence of flavonoids, phenolics, and tannins in all samples. Overall, these findings demonstrate that wild grasses have the potential to be utilized as an alternative raw material for eco-enzyme production, providing nutrient content and bioactive compounds formed through the fermentation of natural materials.]]>
