White Pepper Extract (Piper nigrum L.) as Antibacterial Agent for Streptococcus mutans In Vitro

Abstract: : Streptococcus mutans is a gram-positive bacterium in oral cavity which metabolism produces acid as the common cause of dental caries (tooth decay Result of the research indicates that Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) is found at concentration 10% of the white pepper extract, where as the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) is found at concentration 12,5% of the extract. Data analysis is conducted with non parametric test of Kruskal Wallis. Kruskal Wallis test shows at least there is a difference o… Show more

“…Thus the addition of the same would improve the overall benefit of the health drink as well. In a study conducted by Sidarta et al (Sidarta, 2013) where pepper was tested against Streptococcus mutans it was observed to have good Antimicrobial property which is in acceptance with the findings from the present study. Thus this could also be attributed to the Antimicrobial activity of the present health drink.…”

“…This assumption is in line with the research of Sidarta et al (2013) using the diffusion test of white pepper extract with a concentration of 6.25% to 100% having an inhibitory diameter of 10-16 mm. 12 Another study on the relationship line enhancement and inhibition zone extract is also found in the study Andayani et al(2012). 14 The formation of inhibitory zones around the disc shows the presence of antibacterial compounds in black pepper extracts such as alkaloids, phenols, tan-nins, coumarin, saponins, glycosides, and astiri oil.…”
