Abstract

Indonesia with a tropical climate allows the growth of various fungi including pathogenic fungi so that fungal infections have a high prevalence. Fungal infections with high prevalence include leucorrhoea and dandruff, each caused by Candida albicans and Pityrosporum ovale. This research is an attempt to prove scientifically about the potential antifungal activity of rose apple leaves [Eugenia aqueum (Burm. F) Alston]. The objectives of this research were to obtain the value of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Evaluation of antifungal activity was carried out by diffusion method using well techniques. Tests were carried out on Candida albicans and Pityrosporum ovale. The results showed that the ethanol extract of guava leaves showed antifungal activity both against Candida albicans and Pityrosporum ovale. The MIC of ethanol extract was 1% both to Candida albicans and Pityrosporum ovale.

Keywords: ethanol extract of rose apple leaves, antifungal activity, MIC
