Abstract

Background: Increased interest in the medical properties of Moringa oleifera, which is widely utilised as an antibiotic, antioxidant, and nutrition because to its high mineral and vitamin content. Objective: The present research aims to extract active components from oleifera leaves and apply them as ant microbes. Materials and Methods: The active components from oleifera leaves were extracted using several procedures, including cold water, hot water, a combination of water and alcohol in various ratios, and hot alcohol. Suspensions of fungal and bacterial strains were also created for testing. Results: The results demonstrate that the most active components were extracted using hot alcohol, followed by a hot water method, and then cool alcohol. The extracts exhibit varied bioactivities depending on the amount of active components in the extract solution. Conclusions: Oleifera leaf extract may be utilised as a bioactive agent against Candida tropicalis.
