Aplication of eco-enzyme from nutmeg, clove, and eucalyptus plant waste in inhibiting the growth of E. coli and S. aureus

That different plant wastes' eco-enzymes also had distinctive colors, where DP and DK were brown, BP was reddish-brown, while DC appeared blackish-brown and clear. These differences occur due to variations in the chemical composition of each material used. Furthermore, the acidic aroma from each eco-enzyme was derived from the decomposition of alcohol compounds into acetic acid during aerobic respiration. The aroma was distinctively different depending on the type of plant waste used. Eco-enzymes and commercial antiseptics also have different abilities to inhibit E. coli and S. aureus growth with the highest inhibition found in eco-enzymes made from eucalyptus leaf waste
