Abstract

One of the vitamins that the body needs is vitamin C since it plays a crucial role as an antioxidant that can shield the molecules that the body needs. Vegetables that are green, like spinach, contain vitamin C. Both hydroponically and non-hydroponically, spinach can be grown. According to a study, spinach grown hydroponically had lower vitamin C concentrations than spinach grown conventionally. The purpose of this study was to ascertain how adding Ecoenzymes affected the amounts of vitamin C in spinach grown hydroponically. Eco-enzymes are produced by fermenting organic kitchen waste with sugar and water in a 3:1:10 ratio, It can quicken metabolic processes in the natural world to create enzymes that are helpful in processing leftover fruit or vegetable material. From April to August 2021, this study was carried out in the Wire House and Plant Physiology Laboratory at Padang State University. The analysis of vitamin C levels was done using the Spectrophotometric Method in this experiment with 5 treatments and 4 replications. According to the study’s findings, spinach contains the largest amount of vitamin C at P2, which is when 2 ml of Ecoenzymee is added, or 0.347 ppm. + 1 L of water, 4 ml of Ecoenzymee, and 1 L of water, and the lowest vitamin C level in treatment 4 was 0.317 ppm.
