| Summary: | Drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera) is native to India which extensively found in tropical
and subtropical countries in the world today. Moringa oleifera leaves are frequently utilized as
anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammation, antioxidant, and antidiabetic agents due to their
high content of bioactive compounds. Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) pretreatment by Aspergillus
niger is one of the methods used to degrade recalcitrant lignocellulose structure of leaf cell walls
that bind polyphenol compounds. This research was aimed to determine the optimum fermentation
time by Aspergillus niger to enhance polyphenol concentration of moringa leaves extract. Data
collection on lignocellulose content reduction, yield extract, total flavonoid content, and total
phenolic content were conducted with fermentation time variations of 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 days. The
highest extraction yield was obtained after 5 days of fermentation, which has a yield value of
17.34%. Moringa leaves extracts were subsequently analyzed for total phenolic content, total
flavonoid content, antioxidant activity, antimicrobial activity, and kaempferol concentration. Total
phenolic content and total flavonoid content after 5 days of fermentation were 362.51 mg
GAE/extract and 132.83 mg QE/g extract, respectively. The lowest value of antioxidant activity
was acquired after 5 days of fermentation, which is 40.61 ppm. Moringa leaves extracts also reveal
antioxidant activity against gram-positive bacteria B. subtilis and S. aureus and gram-negative
bacteria E. coli. Pretreatment using Aspergillus niger was able to elevate kaempferol
concentration up to 54.23%. According to correlation analysis, it was expressed that the total
phenolic content of the extract had a significant effect on antioxidant activity. |
