Abstract
Moringa seeds are a class of edible oils that have activities such as antioxidants, antiaging, emollients, hair care, and skin lightening. This study aims to identify the potential of chemical compounds from moringa seed oil as an antibacterial against Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria. Analysis by GC-MS showed that Moringa seed oil contains 40% oleic acid which is the compound with the highest peak. The antibacterial activity of Moringa seed oil was categorized as strong with clear zones of 11 mm and 15 mm respectively by Moringa seed oil which was extracted using soxhletation and MAE methods. Moreover, the characterization using GC-MS identified the presence of high oleic acid in Moringa seed oil with an area of 40%. The extraction results identified their functional groups by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). Phytochemical test results showed that the oil from Moringa seeds was proven to contain alkaloids, flavonoids, and polyphenols. FTIR analysis showed several functional groups consisting of C=O, CH 3 , CH 2 groups, C-O esters, and O-H acids .
期刊介绍:
RASĀYAN Journal of Chemistry [RJC] signifies a confluence of diverse streams of chemistry to stir up the cerebral powers of its contributors and readers. By introducing the journal by this name, we humbly intent to provide an open platform to all researchers, academicians and readers to showcase their ideas and research findings among the people of their own fraternity and to share their vast repository of knowledge and information. The journal seeks to embody the spirit of enquiry and innovation to augment the richness of existing chemistry literature and theories. We also aim towards making this journal an unparalleled reservoir of information and in process aspire to inculcate and expand the research aptitude.
