prevent the spread of germs and ensure the safety of guests and customers. Hotels and
restaurants should have designated hand washing stations in key areas, including
kitchens, food preparation areas, and restrooms. There is a station that typically consists
of a sink, running water, soap dispensers, and paper towels or hand dryers. Hand washing
soap is a fundamental aspect of maintaining hygiene and food safety in hotels and
restaurants.
and preventing the spread of infectious diseases. According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), hand washing with soap and water is one of the most
effective ways to remove germs including viruses and bacteria, from your hands.
The Malunggay (Moringa oleifera) tree has long been used for a variety of
healing and health purposes. In many parts of the world, it is a key source of nutrition
since it is packed with protein and other essential nutrients that promote overall wellness.
Unlike other soaps, moringa naturally helps change our skin because it contains
antioxidants and anti-bacterial that can greatly benefit from flushing out toxins (Green

Moringa Oleifera, a plant from the moringaceae family has been used in
traditional medicine for centuries due to its rich nutritional and bioactive properties. Its
leaves, flowers, and seeds, contain protein essential aminocide, vitamins, minerals, and
and hepatoprotective effects. However, some compounds in the root and bark may pose
safety concerns. Moringa oleifera, recognized as an excellent source have shown that in

The study investigated the impact of adding moringa oleifera leaves and /or seeds
to the diet of Japanese quail on egg production, quality, blood, serum characteristics and
production. The result showed that supplementing the diet with Moringa Oleifera seeds
(MS) increased egg production, egg, mas’ eggshell thickness, and hatchability while
