The purpose of this research is to determine the activity of cinnamon extract (Cinnamomun burmani) as an antifungal against the growth of fungi Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium moniliforme. The procedure begins with making cinnamon extract obtained from cinnamon bark using rotary distillation method. Cinnamon extract will be tested using different concentrations of 0% (control); 0,5%; 1,0%; 2,0% and 4,0% with the well diffusion method. Based of the results, the cinnamon extract has antifungal activity against the fungi with the concentration and inhibition of 1,0% and inhibition zone diameter of 27 mm in A. flavus, while the concentration and inhibition of 2,0% with a inhibition zone of 56 mm in F. moniliforme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
