TEST OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MANGA KWENI LEAF EXTRACT (MANGIFERA ODORATA GRIFF) AGAINST CANDIDA ALBICANS FUNGUS

Abstrak

The purpose of this study is to find out whether mango kweni leaf extract (Mangifera ododratagriff) can inhibit the growth of Candida albicans fungus.It was found that there was an optimal concentration of ethanol extract from mango kweni leaves (Mangifera ododratagriff). The approach of this research is to use a type of laboratory experimental quantitative research using data collection techniques including tools and materials, sample preparation, antifungal testing and data analysis techniques using the SPSS One Way Anova Statistical test if the data does not meet the parametric requirements, then it is followed by a non-parametric alternative test, namely Kruskal Wallis, and to see the maximum and minimum concentrations seen from the Duncan test test. From the results of the antifungal test of Candida albicans in each treatment, the inhibition zone was obtained at concentrations of 2%, 4%, 5.83 mm, 6%, 8.74 mm, 8%, 10.85 mm and 10% 12.38 mm. The results and conclusions of the researcher show that; 1) There is an effectiveness of mango leaf extract (Mangifera odorata griff) in inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans fungus; 2) Mango kweni leaf extract (Mangifera odorata griff) with a minimum concentration of 2% and a maximum of 10% which has been carried out in the statistical test of the Duncan test.
