Mahasiswa UNNES Olah Daun Kelor Jadi Pasta Gigi Herbal

Daun kelor telah lama dipercaya sebagai tumbuhan yang bermanfaat bagi kesehatan. Tanaman ini banyak dijumpai di berbagai wilayah di Indonesia.

Kepopuleran tanaman bernama latin Moringa Oleifera ini menanjak beberapa tahun terakhir ini. Namun masih sedikit yang memanfaatkan daun kelor untuk dibuat produk kesehatan. Ditangan lima mahasiswa Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) daun kelor berhasil diolah menjadi pasta gigi. Produk yang diklaim mampu melindungi gigi dan gusi ini diberi nama “Morthadent”.

Selama melakukan aktivitas ini, para mahasiswa di bawah bimbingan dosen Ibu Nurdian Susilowati SPd MPd.

Daun kelor memiliki kadungan mineral kalsium yang tinggi dengan kadar 603,77 mg/100 g dan lima kali lipat lebih tinggi dari kalsium susu.

Tim ini beraharap produk pasta gigi yang dibuat mampu diterima dan dijangkau oleh masyrakat luas. Produk pasta gigi ini dapat digunakan mulai dari anak-anak usia 8 tahun hingga orang dewasa. Produk ini dibandrol dengan harga yang terjangkau.
