Description
Summary:Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is one of the many plants that have various efficacy according to several research recently. Some studies have proven that ethanolic extract of pomegranate pericarp has activity as an antifungal but relatively still less developed. The aim of this research is to observe antifungal activity on ethanol extract, n-hexane fraction, ethyl acetate fraction, and water fraction of pomegranate pericarp to against Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404 and Microsporum gypseum. The simplicia powder of pomegranate pericarp was characterized and then extracted using reflux method with ethanol solvent then concentrated into concentrated ethanol extract. The ethanol extract was fractionated by liquid-liquid extraction using three solvents with increasing polarity, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water. The ethanol extract, n-hexane fraction, ethyl acetate fraction, and water fraction carried out a preliminary test to see the inhibitory diameter of the test fungi of each extract and fraction with disk diffusion test. Furthermore, ethanol extract, ethyl acetate fraction, and water fraction were tested qualitatively by microdilution method to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value and determination the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of each extract and fraction of test fungi. In the Candida albicans fungus, pomegranate pericarp ethanol extract has MIC and MFC value at ???ã?mL and 4096 ?ã???, a fraction of ethyl acetate at ????ã?mL and 4096 ?ã???, and water fraction at ???ã?mL and >4096 ?ã???whereas in Microsporum gypseum fungus ethanol extract of pomegranate pericarp has MIC and value at ????ã?mL and 1024 ?ã???, each ethyl acetate fraction at ????ã?mL, and water fraction at ????ã?mLand 1024 ?ã???. Ethanol extract, ethyl acetate fraction, and water fraction of pomegranate pericarp contain flavonoid, phenol, terpenoid, and quinone compounds. Ethanol extract, ethyl acetate fraction, and water fraction has strong enough antifungal activity to the test fungi.
