Ginger (Zingiber Officinale) and Mint Leaves (Mentha Piperrita L) Alleviate Emesis Gravidarum

Background: Emesis gravidarum is a feeling of nausea that appears in pregnant women, especially in the morning. Pregnant women experience nausea, vomiting, 2% in the morning, 80% throughout the day and 18% progress to delivery. In Indonesia, there are 50-75% cases of nausea and vomiting experienced by pregnant women. The cause is an increase in the hormones estrogen, progesterone and the secretion of hCG. The content in ginger (Zingiber OffIcinale) and mint leaves (Mentha Piperrita L) can reduce the incidence of emesis gravidarum thereby preventing bad health conditions of pregnant women that interfere with fetal growth and development. Purpose: To know the effectiveness of giving ginger and mint leaves to reduce emesis gravidarum for pregnant women. Methods: The research method used is the Quasy Experiment method with the Two Group Pre and Post-Test Design approach. The population of first trimester pregnant women is 60 people. The number of samples in each group was 4 women using the 2 free sample formula and purposive sampling technique. The results of the normal distribution test with the Saphiro Wilk test, the data are normally distributed so that it uses the paired t-test and the independent t-test. Results: Based on the univariate test, it was found that the average before infusion of ginger was 9.25 and 5.25 after being given steeped ginger. On average, before being given the mint leaf steeped was 10.0 and after being given the mint leaf steeped was 7.00. Based on the paired t-test, it was found that the p-value of steeped ginger was 0.011 <0.05, while the p-value of steeped mint leaves was 0.024 <0.05. Based on the independent t-test, it was found that the effectiveness of giving steeped ginger and mint leaves was p-value 0.013 <0.05.

EFFECTIVENESS TEST OF ANTIBACTERIAL EXTRACT MINT LEAF (Mentha piperita L.) INHIBIT GROWTH IN Streptococcus sanguinis

Streptococcus sanguinis (s.sanguinis) is one of the normal flora in the oral cavity. These bacteria act as a pioneer in forming plaques that cause most dental and oral diseases. It takes an antibacterial agent to be able to inhibit the clips of the plaque. One of the herbal plants that have been known to have antibacterial power is the mint leaf (Mentha Piperita L.). The antibacterial potency of this plant comes from its chemical compound content, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, and menthols. This study aimed to determine the inhibitory of mint leaf extract on the growth of Sanguinis. An experimental laboratory carries out research. Tests were carried out using the diffusion method in four test groups, namely mint leaf extract with a concentration of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10%, and one control group that uses DMSO. Each treatment group repeated five times on the Mueller-Hinton media (MHA) using disk paper and incubated for 24 hours. The inhibition zone can be seen in the transparent area formed around the disk paperand then measured using the Sorong term to find a large diameter. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The study results that the largest inhibitory zone diameter was obtained in a test group with a concentration of 10% (16.39 mm), while the lowest diameter in the control group (4.89 mm) 10% concentration was the highest among all test groups. The DMSO did not have an antibacterial effect. The higher the concentration of an antibacterial compound, it will also increase its effectiveness.

Mosquito repellent finishes on textile fabrics (woven & knit) by using different medicinal natural plants

In textile, Finishing is one of the significant processes which augment the performance of the fabric and functional properties as well. Health is always thought to be an indispensable requirement for human beings to live without any stress and it aids to give the best output of any work. Hygiene is also one of the important elements to live comfortably. A mosquito repellent textile protects the human beings from the bite of mosquitoes and ensures safety from the diseases like malaria and dengue fever. Medicinal plants like neem (Azadirachta indica), tulashi (Ocimum tenuiflorum) & mint-leaf (Mentha) etc. are used for induction of organic mosquito repellent activity and all of them are ecofriendly. This project is an exiguous endeavor in developing an eco-friendly mosquito repellent finished fabric using the herbal extract from neem, tulshi and mint-leaf .The extracted chemicals are finished on to the fabric by pad-dry-cure process & exhaust process and are evaluated using a mosquito repellency activity test .Then the repellency behavior of fabrics were checked after washing at three intervals – 5th,7th & 9th washes .Finally, the finished fabrics showed a great amount of mosquito repellent activity for both knit and woven fabric which was calculated in percentage.

Phytochemicals and Vitamin Properties of Smoothie Flavoured with Mint Leaves Extract

This study was undertaken to assess the phytochemicals, vitamin A and vitamin C properties of different samples of smoothie produced from mixed tropical fruits flavoured with mint leaves extract. The smoothie was produced from three different fruits, (watermelon, apple and banana) then flavoured with mint leaf extract. The concentration of mint extract differs in each smoothie samples, ranging from 0-8% concentrate. The sample devoid of mint leaf extract served as control. The nine smoothie samples were examined for their phytochemical properties, vitamin A and vitamin C content. The study revealed that, the phytochemical content of different samples of smoothie gave these ranges: alkaloids (0.62-1.34%), saponin (1.07-1.46%), tannin (1.87-2.41%), phenol (0.02-0.41 mg/ml), flavonoid (1.62-3.33%), cyanogenic glycosides (0.00-0.05%). From the result, it was discovered that the phytochemical properties of the smoothie increases with increased mint leaf concentrate. The vitamins content of the samples ranges from; vitamin A (466-642 IU), vitamin C (9.30-10.83 mg/100 ml). The smoothie sample with high contents of mint extract are potentially good source of phytochemicals and vitamins.
