Abstract

Antibacterial activity on banana plants, has been carried out from the family Musaceae for Kepok Banana type (Musa paradisiaca Linn). In this test ethanol extract is used from the sliced part of the stem liquid. Before the test was carried out, phytochemical screening was done on water extract and ethanol extract. Obtained phytochemical test results indicate the presence of phenolic compounds: Flavonoids, Alkaloids, Tannins, Saponins, Steroids, and Glycosides. The purpose of this study was to evaluate Musa paradisiaca L. (Kepok banana) stem fluid for antibacterial studies. with agar diffusion methods and compared with drugs circulating in the Amoxicillin community.
