We study nontaut codimension one foliations on closed Riemannian manifolds. We find an estimate of some constant derived from the mean curvature function of the leaves of a foliation by some isoperimetric constant of the manifold. Moreover, for foliated 2-tori and the 3-dimensional unit sphere, we find the infimum of the former constants for all nontaut codimension one foliations.
