Latar Belakang : Kebutuhan gizi ibu menyusui meningkat dibandingkan dengan tidak menyusui dan masa keha ABSTRACT THE EFFECT OF MORINGA LEAVES EXTRACT ON EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING MOTHER ON INFANT WEIGHT INCREASE IN 0 - 5 MONTHS Background: The nutritional needs of breastfeeding mothers are increased compared to non-breastfeeding and during pregnancy. Efforts to achieve optimal infant nutrition until they reach six months of age can only be done through improving maternal nutrition. This illustrates that the food consumed by breastfeeding mothers greatly affects the production of breast milk. Moringa leaves are a food ingredient that has a lactogenic effect because they contain phytosterols. National exclusive breastfeeding coverage has only reached 65.16%, while exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Lampung province is 67.01% (Indonesian Ministry of Health 2018). Even though it has exceeded the national coverage, it is still low compared to the target target of 80%. Meanwhile, in Bandar Lampung City, in 2018, exclusive breastfeeding coverage was 44.5%. PWS KIA, Kebun Ginger Health Center, Bandar Lampung City, showed that from January to July 2019 there were 12,72% babies under 6 months did not get optimal weight gain. Purpose : To determine the effect of Moringa leaf extract on exclusive breastfeeding mothers on weight gain of infants 0-5 months at the Kebon Jahe Community Health Center in Bandar Lampung in 2020 Method: Quantitative research with a two group pretest-posttest design research method. The population was exclusively breastfeeding mothers, a sample of 32 mothers was divided into two groups. 16 breastfeeding mothers were given Moringa leaf extract and 16 breastfeeding mothers were given placebo, using purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using statistical tests using independent t test and paired T test. Results: The average body weight in the group given Moringa leaves increased from 5012 grams to 5765.25 grams, while the group given katuk leaf extract increased from 4962 grams to 6040.62 grams. The results of the independent T test obtained a p-value of 0.556 (p value> 0.05), this means that statistically there is no difference in the two groups. Pairwise difference test results obtained p-value 0.000 (pvalue 0,05) hal ini bermakna bahwa secara statistik tidak ada perbedaan pada kedua kelompok. Hasil uji beda berpasangan diperoleh hasil pvalue 0,000 (pvalue 0,05) hal ini bermakna bahwa secara statistik tidak ada perbedaan pada kedua kelompok. Hasil uji beda berpasangan diperoleh hasil pvalue 0,000 (pvalue < 0,05) Kesimpulan : tidak ada perbedaan pengaruh pemberian ekstrak daun kelor dan daun katuk (placebo) terhadap kenaikan berat badan bayi. Ada perbedaan berat badan sebelum dan sesudah pemberian ekstrak daun kelor dan placebo. Daun kelor memiliki efektifitas yang sama dalam meningkatkan berat badan bayi.

Growth, yield and biochemical constituents as well as post-harvest quality of water-stressed broccoli (Brassica oleraceae L. var. italica) as affected by certain biomodulators

The present study was conducted to assess the effect of certain biomodulators (BMs) on growth, yield, and storability as well as on bioactive constituents either before or after storage of deficit-irrigated broccoli. The tested BMs were yeast extract (YE), moringa leaves extract (MLE), salicylic acid (SA) and humic acid (HA). Deficit irrigation (DI) was achieved by extending the duration between subsequent irrigations from five days (control) to either ten (IR10) or 15 days (IR15). Results indicated that all applied BMs alleviated DI effects on growth and yield. Post-harvest decline in quality was delayed by DI as biomass loss percentage (BLP %) and post-harvest decay percentage (PHD %) were decreased. All applied BMs also preserved inflorescence quality during storage as BL% and PHD% were lower in BMs-treated plants compared with control. Chlorophylls, carotenoids, ascorbic acid, total phenols and total soluble carbohydrates in broccoli inflorescence were decreased in IR10 and IR15 plants whereas increased in BMs-treated plants. Anthocyanins content was not significantly affected in response to DI treatments and peroxidase activity was not significantly affected in response to either DI or BMs treatments. It was concluded that treatments with BMs could be a feasible approach to avoid yield losses in water-stressed broccoli and that treatments with BMs of deficit-irrigated plants maintain post-harvest quality of broccoli heads during storage.

Moringa oleifera Intake during Pregnancy and Breastfeeding toward Docosahexaenoic Acid and Arachidonic Acid Levels in Breast Milk

BACKGROUND: Moringa oleifera is a nutritional food supplement that can save lives, particularly in countries with malnourished community. Such supplement can also be provided to breastfeeding mothers so that they can produce more breast milk.&#x0D; AIM: This study investigated the effect of M. oleifera on pregnant and breastfeeding mothers on their breast milk’s docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) concentration.&#x0D; METHODS: This was a longitudinal study which was the continuity from the previous experimental study. The research sample was 64 breastfeeding mothers given Moringa leaves powder (MLP), Moringa leaves extract (MLE), or iron-folic acid (IFA). The data were analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis test with the significance level of 95% aiming to assess the difference between the breast milk’s DHA and AA level on MLP, MLE, and IFA groups.&#x0D; RESULTS: This research indicated that most mothers had low education level (71.9 %) and did not work (89.1%). There was no significant difference between the DHA level (p = 0.215) and AA (p = 0.914) of the breast milk among the MLP, MLE, and IFA groups.&#x0D; CONCLUSION: The intervention might contribute a little effect on DHA and AA level in the breast milk.

Mitigation of salinity stress effects on growth, yield and nutrient uptake of wheat by application of organic extracts

ABSTRACT The reduction of the plant performance was observed in plant growth and yield with reduction in the plant’s production of at least 20% of irrigated land worldwide due to the salinity, so it is the major abiotic stresses. For promoting growth and increasing crop yield natural extracts were used in agriculture and horticulture as bio-stimulants. At the Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture Zagazig University, a pot experiment has been done under greenhouse condition for studying the spray of natural extracts; moringa leaves extract (MLE); algae extract (AE); licorice root extract (LRE) and propolis extract (PE) on yield, photosynthetic pigments and nutrient uptake of wheat grown on saline soil taken from Abou Hammad county, El-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. Results showed that spraying with different organic extracts significantly increased yield, protein content, photosynthetic pigments and nutrient uptake as compared to untreated plants. Spraying with MLE gave an increase of all parameters i.e., yield, protein content, NPK, Fe, Zn, and Mn accumulation of wheat plants. The highest increases in grain yield were 81%, 110%, 78% and 50%, caused by MLE, AE, LRE and PE, respectively.

Type 2 diabetes is associated with bad health consequences. The current study focused on the effect of Moringa olifera (MO) extract on some metabolic and biochemical parameters in induced type 2 diabetic albino rats. Twenty-eight albino male rats were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups. The control rats fed on a standard balanced diet and the second group fed standard balanced diet and gavaged with MO extract 50 mg/kg b.wt. The third group was a diabetic group that was induced to type 2 diabetes by high dietary fat for 8 weeks followed by streptozotocin (STZ) 25 mg/kg intraperitoneal (i.p.) while the fourth group was induced to type 2 diabetes and gavaged with MO extract 50 mg/kg b.wt. Treatment was continued for 4 weeks and, final body weight was recorded. Serum Lipid Profile, insulin resistance, super oxide dismutase (SOD), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), resistin and liver enzymes were determined. Histopathology to hepatic tissue was also done. Results revealed a significant reduction in final body weights of diabetic rats than control. Serum lipid profile was deteriorated in the diabetic group. Insulin resistance, TNF-α, resistin and liver enzymes were significantly upregulated (P<0.05) in the diabetic rats than control while SOD was significantly reduced (P<0.05). Liver histopathology showed diffuse hazy vacuolation with leukocytic infiltration in the diabetic group and estrogen receptor (ER) immunostaining was significantly declined in diabetic group. All these changes were ameliorated with MO extract administration to diabetic rats. MO extract has a potential preventive effect against metabolic and biochemical alterations of type 2 diabetes.

The Use of Moringa Leaves Extract as a Plant Growth Hormone on Cowpea (Vigna Anguiculata)

The use of Moringa oleifera leaves extract as plant growth hormone on cowpea plant ( Vigna unguiculata ) has been studied at the biological garden of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto. An extract was made by grinding young moringa leaves and diluted with water at the ratio of 1:30 25 mls, three blocks were made labelled M, F and D, with three replications each, the extract prepared was applied on block ‘M’ only, while a small pinch of synthetic fertilizer (Urea) was applied in block ‘F’ and a control treatment was set up using distilled water, which applied to each plant in hill D. results indicates that in the 3 rd week of observation the cowpea plants treated with moringa extract have the highest mean of stems, number of leaves and branches, length of leaves and branches, and thickness of stem. Then followed by those treated fertilizer mean and finally those treated with distilled water this result show that moringa leaves extract has an improving effects on the growth of cowpea. Moringa leaf extract (MLE) is rich with numerous growth hormones, particularly zeatin that has been reported to increase the crops yield in the range of 10-45 %. Moringa leaf juice also contains micronutrients in sufficient quantities and suitable proportions that increase the growth, yield components and yield of a variety of crops.

Using Moringa oleifera extract as biostimulant enhancing the growth, yield and nutrients accumulation of pea plants

ABSTRACTTrials on the potentials of moringa for organic farming have shown that leaves contain substances, which when sprayed on crops enhance growth and yield of crops. Moringa is nutrient-rich plant with combination of antioxidants, amino acids, nutrients, potassium (K), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe) and vitamins. A field experiment was conducted on a sandy soil conditions at Salhia El-gdida county, El-Sharkia Government, Egypt during the growth seasons of 2014/2015 to study the effect of moringa leaves extract (MLE) at different rates on yield and nutrient accumulation of pea plants (pisum sativum L.). Foliar spraying of MLE was done in three equal doses at 25, 35 and 45 after planting at a rate of 0%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%. All treatments of MLE significantly increased fresh pods yield, shoot and seeds dry weight, biological yield, 100 seed weight, yield efficiency, protein content and nutrient accumulation as compared to control. The highest values of photosynthetic pigments, growth parameters and nutrient accumulation of plants were obtained with 4% of MLE. Also, the highest percentage increase in fresh pods yield and protein content of 82.5% and 45%, respectively, was recorded from the treatment of 4% MLE.

Histological and Immunohistochemical Changes in the Hippocampus of the Adult Male Albino Rats Treated with Amethopterin and the Possible Protective Role of Moringa Leaves Extract

Background: Amethopterin (AMP) is a chemotherapeutic drug used to treat many types of cancer like lung and breast cancers.Aim of work: This study was done to detect the ameliorating effects of Moringa leaves extract (MLE) against AMP induced hippocampus damage.Material and Methods: Fifty adult male albino rats were used. They were divided into equal five groups. The 1st group provided with water and food ad libitum. The 2nd group received MLE orally (300 mg/kg b w) twice a week. The 3rd group was injected intraperitoneal with AMP (0.5mg/kg b w) twice a week for four weeks. The 4th group was administrated AMP and MLE at the same timeline. The 5th group was given MLE after four weeks of AMP treatment. By the end of the experiment, the rats were anaesthetized; their brains were dissected and processed for histological and immunohistochemical examination.Results: Histological examination of the brain exhibited the normal structure of the hippocampus in the 1st and 2nd groups. Hippocampus of the 3rd group showed severe damaged neurons, degeneration of pyramidal cells and vacuolated astrocytes. On the other hand, hippocampus of the 4th group revealed a moderate degree of tissue changes while a good degree of improvement with more or less normal neuronal structure was seen in the 5th group. The intensity of expression of apoptotic protein P53 on hippocampus sections of the 3rd group was strongly positive when compared to the control group. A moderate-strong positive expression was detected in the 4th group while mild-moderate positive expressions in the 5th group.Conclusion: The present study confirms the possible protective role of MLE against the degenerative changes caused by amethopetrin.

Effect of Green Tea and Moringa Leave Extracts Fortification on the Physicochemical, Rheological, Sensory and Antioxidant Properties of Set-Type Yoghurt

The effects of co-production of green tea (Camellia sinensis L) or Moringa oleifera leaves extracts with set-type yogurt on the physicochemical, rheological, and sensory and antioxidant properties of the produced bio-yoghurts were investigated. Plant extracts were subjected to GC-MS analysis in order to identify the major compounds. The analysis revealed the presence of 21 and 27 major compounds in green tea and moringa leaves extracts respectively. Most of these compounds pose different biological roles. From the preliminary sensory study of testing wide range (0.1-1.5%, w/w) of both plants extract in yoghurt trails it was concluded that the best chosen concentrations were 1% and 0.9% of green tea and moringa extracts respectively. The chemical analysis of plain and bio-yoghurts (green tea or moringa) showed no differences in composition in regard to protein, fat, and total solids as it were amounted to 3.75 ± 0.15%, 3.65 ± 0.03% and 14.45 ± 0.15% respectively. The pH decreased during the production leveled to 4.60 ± 0.05 after incubation while it was not significantly changed during storage whereas, titratable acidity showed invers relation increased to be 0.70 ± 0.02% after production and 1.1 ± 0.05% at the end of storage. Fortification of both extracts at tested percentage did not exhibit any suppression effect against starter culture meanwhile; both extracts had stimulated the growth. In general, syneresis values (%) showed to increase in all the treatments up to 15 days of storage. The green tea found to improved syneresis as low values were recorded in green tea yoghurt in compared to plain yoghurts and moringa yoghurts which showed the highest syneresis values. No significant changes in viscosity and firmness between plain and plant fortified yoghurts were observed meanwhile, addition of green tea extracts improved consistency. The color showed a significant difference between different kinds of yoghurts. Addition of plant extracts significantly enhanced total phenolic content in yoghurt by 100% in moringa yoghurts and 244% in green tea yoghurts compared to plain yoghurts thus reflected as antioxidant (DPPH inhibition %) in yoghurt dramatically improved. Further, the effect of green tea and moringa leaves extract on sensory attributes were also discussed.
