Ecoenzyme, Fermentation, Phytochemical.Abstract
Fermented organic materials usually contain active compounds that can be useful as antimicrobials. This study was conducted by fermenting organic materials such as fruits, vegetables, rhizomes, and flowers for 5 months. After that, the solution was filtered and analyzed for odor, pH value, and active compound content such as alkaloid, flavonoid, saponin, tannin, and triterpenoid tests. The results showed that all test solutions had a distinctive fresh pungent odor, with a pH value of around 2.5-3.5, and contained tested active compounds except for the saponin test. These results indicate that the fermented solution made has the potential to be used as an antibacterial or antifungal.
