Abstract

Soil chemical components from different locations produce different macro-micro nutrients, phytochemicals compounds, and biological activities of the plant. This study aims to see whether soil chemistry from three different areas namely coastal, geothermal, and urban areas affect the phytochemical components and chemical compounds contained in Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves Soil chemical analysis showed that the coastal area had the highest macro-micro nutrients and the best phytochemical and chemical compounds of moringa leaves than those of the other two locations. The moringa leaves phytochemical compounds of the coastal area consisting of alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, and phenolics. The GC-MS profile of moringa leaves from the coastal area contained 28 compounds, a geothermal area of 27 compounds, and an urban area of 24 compounds. Of all these chemical compounds, there are six similarities with the highest order namely Linolenic acid, 9,12,15- octadecatrienoic acid, Ethyl ester, Vitamin E hexadecanoic acid, Phytol, and neophytadiene. In conclusion, Moringa leaf from the coastal area has the highest concentration of soil chemical components, phytochemicals, and a number of compounds.

Keywords: Moringa, Coastal, Geothermal, Urban, Anti-Fatigue, GC-MS.
