The environmental and public health problems by inadequate management oforganic waste continue to worsen in many parts of the world. The high rates ofwaste generation associated with deficiencies in collection and treatment servicesare a source of negative impacts; the inadequate disposition of the material boundto an incorrect separation causes proliferation of pest species, bad smells, toxicgases formation, fumes and dust that contribute to the contamination of theecosystems. The cause of these problems that alter the quality of the environmentand the health of the people is certainly of anthropic origin, because in nature, therecycling of nutrients is an essential function for life. In view of this scenario, it isproposed the implementation of an ecological method, alternative to traditionalcompost, which has been proven effective by developing it in higher educationinstitutions and university. Among the benefits offered is the management of tonsof organic material in small spaces, the sustainable use of waste derived from foodconsumed in schools, among others. Studies for the analysis and evaluation of thephysicochemical and nutritional quality of the organic fertilizer obtained indifferent climatic conditions, from biodigester bales assembled in Medellín,Colombia and Texcoco, Mexico, showed favorable amounts of nutrients thatbenefit the growth of seedlings planted in the same bale or when applied asfertilizer in gardens and orchards. Therefore, the development of this proposal alsobenefits the urban and ecological agriculture areas.

El presente estudio consistió en elaborar el bocashi y evaluar su efecto en la germinación y desarrollo del rábano. Las mezclas de bocashi utilizadas fueron: aserrín-mangoplátano (BA), mango (BM) y tradicional (BT). Para la caracterización fisicoquímica se tomó 1 kg de cada bocashi. Para evaluar emergencia en semillas de rábano, se realizó ensayo en charolas de poliestireno con mezcla bocashi – peat moss (1:1 v/v), por triplicado. El Testigo fue suelo agrícola (A). Para evaluar el efecto en la calidad de planta, las plantas fueron trasplantadas a mesas organopónicas de madera, con mezcla bocashi – peat moss (1:1 v/v). El riego fue diario por un mes. A los 30 días del trasplante, se midió: la altura de la planta (cm), el número de hojas y la masa seca de la raíz (g). El tratamiento A promovió la mayor germinación en las semillas de rábano; en cuanto al desarrollo de la planta, el tratamiento A estimuló la altura y número de hojas en las plantas de rábano; sin embargo, el tratamiento BT favoreció la mayor acumulación de biomasa seca. Las plantas de rábano fertilizadas con bocashi presentaron mejor desarrollo que las germinadas en suelo agrícola.ABSTRACTThe present study consisted in the elaboration of a bocashi and the evaluation of its effects on germination and development of radish. The mixtures of bocashi were: saw dust-mangoose-banana (BA), mangoose (BM) and traditional (BT). For physicochemical characterization, 1 kg of each bocashi was taken. To evaluate emergence of radish seeds, an essay was realized in polystyrene trays with a mixture of bocashi – peat moss (1:1 v/v), in triplicate. The reference was agricultural soil (A). To evaluate the effect on plant quality, plants were transplanted to wooden organoponic tables, with a mixture of bocashi – peat moss (1:1 v/v). The irrigation was daily for a month. After thirty days of transplant, we measured: plant height (cm), number of leaves and root dry biomass (g). Treatment A promoted the higher germination of radish seeds; as to the plant development, treatment A stimulated the height and leaves number of radish plant; but nevertheless, treatment BT favored the greater accumulation of dry biomass. The radish plants fertilized with bocashi showed better development than those germinated in agricultural soil.

Garlic plant has been known to have various beneficial properties beside as a condiment. However, the garlic peel is still considered as waste and the research of its functional properties are still very limited. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential phytochemical activities of garlic peel extract which might be utilized as natural food additive or even functional ingredient in the future. The experiment was divided to two phases. The first phase identifies and compares the phytochemical content and activities between aqueous and ethanolic extract. The presence of saponins was detected along with the absence of alkaloids on both aqueous and ethanolic extract. The aqueous extract possessed lower flavonoid content, higher phenolic content and stronger antioxidant activity compared to the ethanolic peel extract. Ethanolic extract did not exhibit any antimicrobial activity against S.cerevisiae, while aqueous extract showed the activity against S.cerevisiae. Moreover, both types of extract also did not show any α-glucosidase inhibition activity. In the second phase, optimization attempts for extraction method were done and it was found that the highest amount of antioxidant activity along with flavonoid and phenolic content could be obtained by changing the raw material-solvent ratio to 20 gr/1000ml.

Kaffir lime peels contain polyphenols as natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agent. The aims of this study were to (1) extract phenolics compounds from kaffir lime peels using water, ethanol 70% and ethanol 96% as the solvent, and (2) assess the antibacterial activity of the extract against Streptococcus mutans which is the main cause of dental caries. Research methodology includes preparation and extraction of polyphenols from kaffir lime peels, preparation of mouthwash based-kaffir lime peels extracts and evaluation the mouthwash ability to inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans. The results show water exhibited the best solvent to extract polyphenols among the three solvents. The total phenolics content in the water extract was observed at 11.42±0.48 mg GAE/g, whilst in the two ethanolic extracts were 10.91±0.87 and 8.87±0.53 mg GAE/g for ethanol 70 and 96%, respectively. Consequently, the water-based extract performed the highest antimicrobial activity. The highest inhibition zone was demonstrated by 100% extract of concentration extract variation. Although the inhibition zone of the mouthwash was smaller than the commercial product, the extract has the potential to be developed as a safe mouthwash for long-term usage.

Seaweeds are potentially excellent sources of highly bioactive materials that could represent useful leads in the alleviation of salinity stress. The effects of presoaking wheat grains in water extract ofUlva lactucaon growth, some enzymatic activities, and protein pattern of salinized plants were investigated in this study. Algal presoaking of grains demonstrated a highly significant enhancement in the percentage of seed germination and growth parameters. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) increased with increasing the algal extract concentration while activity of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) was decreased with increasing concentration of algal extract more than 1% (w/v). The protein pattern of wheat seedling showed 12 newly formed bands as result of algal extract treatments compared with control. The bioactive components inU. lactucaextract such as ascorbic acid, betaine, glutathione, and proline could potentially participate in the alleviation of salinity stress. Therefore, algal presoaking is proved to be an effective technique to improve the growth of wheat seedlings under salt stress conditions.
