Abstract

Background: The use of AGP as a feed additive is 96.97% utilized to stimulate growth and suppress infections by pathogenic microorganisms in the digestive tract. Long-term use of AGP can cause genetic mutations by pathogenic agents, resulting in decreased effectiveness of antibiotic therapy. Moringa is a plant that grows well in tropical areas and is widely known as a vegetable and traditional medicine containing various active compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, triterpenoids, and tannins. Methods: The research method is a literature study by analyzing secondary data based on reviews from several research journals related to the potential of moringa leaves, acidifiers, and probiotics in improving the growth performance of broiler chickens. Findings: These compounds act as antioxidants, antibacterials, and hepatoprotective agents, improving broiler chickens' carcass quality. This composition can be supported by the administration of acidifiers in the form of organic acids to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the digestive tract, thereby optimizing the growth process of broiler chickens. Digestive bacterial balance can be achieved by administering probiotics, which play a role in enhancing immunity, health, and growth at all ages and classes of poultry, improving the balance of healthy bacteria in the digestive tract, promoting intestinal integrity and maturation, preventing inflammation, increasing feed intake and digestion by enhancing digestive enzyme activity, reducing bacterial enzyme activity, lowering ammonia production, neutralizing enterotoxins, and stimulating immune function. Conclusion: The combination of these three compositions is expected to provide optimal results for broiler chicken performance. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This article highlights a combined approach using moringa leaf compounds, acidifiers, and probiotics as an alternative to AGP in broiler feed, aiming to achieve optimal growth performance while avoiding the risks associated with antibiotic resistance.

Abstract

Background: Anxiety disorders are a major global health burden, with recent WHO data indicating a 1.79% increase in case incidence rate (CIR) and a 6.25% rise in disability-adjusted life years (DALY) over the past five years. Conventional pharmacotherapies such as SSRIs and benzodiazepines are limited by adverse effects and dependency risks, highlighting the urgent need for safer, effective alternatives. Myristica fragrans (nutmeg) and Phyllanthus acidus (otaheite gooseberry) are rich in myristicin and flavonoids, respectively, both of which exhibit promising anxiolytic and neuroprotective properties. However, the synergistic efficacy and safety of their combined use remain underexplored. Methods: A comprehensive review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Out of 512 studies identified from Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and EBSCO, 36 met inclusion criteria after quality appraisal using CASP, with 2 clinical trials extracted for quantitative synthesis. Data extraction focused on changes in anxiety scores (e.g., HAM-A), stress biomarkers (cortisol, MDA), antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT), and neurochemical modulation (serotonin, GABA, dopamine). Findings: analysis revealed that combined administration of nutmeg and otaheite gooseberry extracts reduced anxiety scores by a weighted mean difference (WMD) of –7.3 (95% CI: –9.1 to –5.5, p<0.001) on the HAM-A scale compared to placebo. Cortisol levels decreased by 18.4% (p=0.002), while MDA levels dropped by 22.7% (p=0.001), and SOD activity increased by 31.6% (p<0.001) in preclinical models. Myristicin (500 mg/kg) produced significant anxiolytic effects via serotonergic and GABAergic modulation, while flavonoids (1.2–3.5% content) provided robust neuroprotection against oxidative stress. No antagonistic interactions or increased toxicity were observed; the combination outperformed single extracts and showed comparable efficacy to SSRIs and benzodiazepines with fewer adverse effects. Conclusions: The integration of Myristica fragrans and Phyllanthus acidus extracts offers a synergistic, natural therapeutic approach for anxiety disorders, combining potent anxiolytic and neuroprotective effects with an excellent safety profile. Novelty/Originality of this article: This review is the first to quantitatively demonstrate the synergistic anxiolytic and antioxidant efficacy of nutmeg and otaheite gooseberry extracts, supporting their development as innovative functional candies for mental health management.

Abstract

Background: Public interest in functional foods, which provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition, is growing in Indonesia and worldwide. Despite their recognized medicinal properties, tamarind leaves remain underutilized in functional food applications. This review examines their potential as a valuable local resource for disease prevention. Methods: A literature search on "Tamarindus indica leaf" was conducted using databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. Data were collected from sources published between 2010 to 2024, adhering to specific inclusion criteria. Analytical methods included thematic categorization and comparison of findings, with an emphasis on the health benefits and functional food potential of tamarind leaves. Finding: Tamarind leaves have been proven to have extensive functional benefits including as a source of antioxidants, antibacterial, antifungal, blood cholesterol lowering agents, antidiarrhea, antiobesity, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory. Tamarind leaves have the potential to be processed into functional drinks and as a mixture of food products such as snacks. Conclusion: Tamarind leaves are an underutilized functional food; further research and innovation are essential for their development. Novelty/Originality of this article: There has been no publication that specifically discusses the potential of tamarind leaves as a functional food. This publication is expected to fill this knowledge gap.

Abstract

Background: As an effort to reduce current climate change, conservation measures such as carbon stock measurements are needed. Tea plants are a suitable commodity for transforming towards low carbon production because perennial plants such as can absorb and store more carbon than seasonal agricultural crops. Methods: Sampling was carried out using a random sampling method that was taken randomly to represent a population for each block number. Data collection for the study was carried out by taking 3 soil and plant samples at each age of the tea plant with an age of 10 years, 30 years, 40 years, and 100 years. The plant samples taken were leaves, stems, roots, and litter. The soil samples taken were soil with a depth of 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, and 20-30 cm with disturbed and undisturbed soil sampling. Findings: The total carbon stock value of tea plants stored in the Pemandangan Block UP Tambi is 63.17 tons/ha in 10-year-old tea plants; 67.26 tons/ha in 30-year-old tea plants; 67.87 tons/ha in 40-year-old tea plants; and 69.40 tons/ha in 100-year-old tea plants. After analyzing the relationship between physical and chemical properties of soil with biomass carbon reserves, C-Organic, soil texture, and soil volume weight are the parameters that most influence carbon reserve content. Conclusion: Plant age due to replanting and pruning, making them unsuitable for soil carbon stock estimation. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers novelty by integrating field-based carbon stock measurements of tea plants with variations in plant age and Sentinel-2A remote sensing analysis, providing a unique contribution to understanding the relationship between soil properties, biomass, and carbon storage capacity in tea plantations, which has not been extensively explored in previous research.
