Testing of Antifungal Activities of The Carrot Tuber Juices (Daucus Carota L.) on Aspergillus Niger And Candida Albicans Atcc 10231 in accordance with ‘In Vitro’

Abstract

The research has been conducted to determine the antifungal activities, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), and the value of compared antifungal activity with ketoconazole from the carrot tuber juices (Daucus carota L.) on Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans ATCC 10231in accordance with ‘in vitro’. The test is conducted by agar diffusion method with perforation. The result shows that the carrot tuber juices has antifungal activities on Candida albicans ATCC 10231 at concentration of 25%, 37,5%, 50%, 75%, and 100% but carrot tuber juices in this researched doesn’t have antifungal activities on Aspergillus niger at concentration of 5%, 6,25%, 12,5%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% so of that Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and the value of compared antifungal activity with ketoconazole cannot to be determined. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the carrot tuber juices is 25% with 0,930 cm of diameter inhibitory. The value of compared antifungal activities 1 mg of the carrot tuber juices with ketoconazole is 2,2x10-7 mg.
