Description:
The Moringa plant (Moringa oleifera L.) has been known for centuries as a multipurpose nutrient-dense plant and has medicinal properties, so it is called a miracle tree. One of its properties is that it functions as the main antiretroviral molecule to increase the activity of the immune system, which is much needed during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to compare the content of polyphenols and antioxidant activity in Moringa leaf infusion and Moringa tea. The test results showed that the highest polyphenol content was found in Moringa leaf infusion was GAE 20.44 mg/g, and then Moringa tea was GAE 7.27 mg/g. The antioxidant activity of Moringa tea was greater than that of Moringa leaf infusion with IC50 values of 31.17 ?g/ml and 31.68 ?g/ml. The implications of this study can be to develop processing techniques for Moringa leaves which contain the best polyphenols and antioxidants for public consumption.
