“…Secondary metabolites are not necessary for organism to live, but play a role in the interaction of organism with its surroundings, ensuring the continued existence of the organism in its ecosystems. They protect plants against stresses, both biotic (bacteria, fungi, nematodes or insects) and abiotic such as; higher temperature and moisture, shading, injury or presence of heavymetals (Pagare et al, 2015). The phytochemical screening of plant in Indonesia is actively studying because knowledges of the presence of chemical compounds such as steroids/triterpenoids, alkaloids, phenolic, flavonoids, saponins and tannins in the plants will help us to further characterize the plants for economic uses, for example as medicine, cosmetics and others (Ramadanil et al, 2019).…”

The research entitled “An ethnomedicinal study of medicinal plants used against gastrointestinal complaints by Kaili Ledo Ethnic in central Sulawesi, Indonesia was undertaken from May 2019 to March 2020. The research site was located in Raranggonau, an oldest subvillage of Kailinese Ledo aimed to conserve the ethnomedicinal knowledge of Kaili Ledo ethnic in using plants for healing gastrointestinal complaints and to select candidate medicinal plants for further phytochemical and pharmacological investigation. The data indigenous knowledge of medicinal plant has been collected by using in-depth interview with prior informed consent using an open-ended questionaire. A snowball technique was performed to obtain a appropriate respondents. Descriptive statistical method was employed to analyse and summarize the ethnobotanical data on the reported medicinal plants and associated knowledge. The result showed that there were 25 plants belonging to 16 families were found to be used against gastrointestinal complaints in the studied area. Most dominant family used against gastrointestinal complaints was Lamiaceae (3 plants), followed by Poaceae, Fabaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Asteraceae (2 plants each). Solanaceae, Asparaginaceae, Araucariaceae, Rosaceae, Rubiaceae, Musaceae, Melastomataceae, Caricaceae, Basellaceae and Balsaminaceae (1 plant each).

“…The flowability and cohesiveness of dried powders were assessed using Hausner's ratio (HR) and Carr's index (CI). HR was calculated as ratio of true to bulk density [16]. Different HR reflects the flowability as free flowing if HR will be from 1.0 to 1.1, medium flowing, 1.1 to 1.25, difficult flowing, 1.25 to 1.4, and very difficult flowing powders will have HR value of more than 1.4.…”

Moringa oleifera is a well-recognized wonder plant with vigorous growth, great nutritional potential, and full of phytochemicals to add therapeutic and medicinal effects. Wheat grass also has proven health benefits like moringa. Moringa leaves and wheat grass were dehydrated in a cabinet drier and powdered. These powders were analysed for physicochemical, optical, nutritional, functional, rheological, structural, and phytochemical characteristics. The developed powders were rich in protein, phenolic content, and antioxidant potential to be used for prophylactic purposes. Antioxidant value was observed as 88.86±0.15, and 38.08±0.32 mg/g and the total phenolic content as 149.30±2.26 and 126.06±0.47 mg GAE/100g for the moringa leaf and wheatgrass powder, respectively. During storage at room temperature for three months the antioxidant potential was reduced to almost 10-15%. The rapid loss of vital phytochemicals happens due to the process of oxidation, as powders were having higher exposed surface area to volume. Wet granulation method was applied for tablet formation from moringa leaf and/or wheatgrass powder. The tablets were tested for weight variations, hardness, disintegration, sedimentation characteristics, wetting volume, wetting time, and functional characteristics. Insignificant change in the antioxidant activity and TPC were observed on converting the powders into tablets. The detailed phytochemicals as present in the developed tablets may find role in prophylactic and therapeutic applications.
