Abstract :
Young coconut coir contains flavonoid compounds, phenols, tannins and
saponins that can be used as antibacterial. The ethanol extract of young coconut
coir was studied to have good antibacterial activity. This study aimed to see the
inhibitory activity of ethanol extract compared fractions of young coconut coir
ethanol extract in inhibiting Escherichia coli ESBL (Extended Spectrum Beta
Lactamase) bacteria.
Young coconut coir of extracted using 95% ethanol solvent of maceration
method and patition using n-hexane and ethyl acetate solvent. Antibacterial
activities using the diffusion method with concentrations of 25%, 50% and 75%.
The negative control used DMSO 10%, while positve control used was
chloramphenikol. The result are shown from the radical inhibition zone diameter.
Statistical analysis of antibacterial test results using One Way Anova
Ethanol extract and fractions of ethanol extract of young coconut coir
inhibited Escherichia coli ESBL bacteria. The largest radical inhibition zone was
found in the ethyl acetate fraction with a concentration of 75% at 10.9 mm.
Statistical analysis showed that the extract and fractions of young coconut coir
ethanol extract were significantly different from the negative control (sig <0.05).
