Abstract :
The corona virus continues to spread today. The disinfecting process is one of the steps recommended by the government. Disinfection with chemical disinfectants is also harmful to one's health, hence natural disinfectants are required. Lemongrass essential oil includes the antibacterial component citral, which can be employed in disinfectant formulations. The aim of this research is to find out at what concentrations citronella oil disinfectant can lower the amount of germs or act as an antibacterial. This research uses experimental method and Total Plate Count method. The research sample consisted of a lemongrass essential oil disinfectant with a concentration of 5%, 7.5%, 10% and a negative control which was applied to the floor and door handles. The ability of a disinfectant to reduce the number of germs is based on the percentage reduction of germs grown on nutrient agar media. The results revealed a significant reduction in the number of germs on the floor object, with a concentration of 5% decreasing by 91.1 percent, 7.5 percent decreasing by 97.7%, and 10% decreasing by 99.6%. The findings indicated a good decrease in the number of germs on the door handle for the three concentrations approached 100%, indicating that the higher the concentration of the essential oil used, the higher the antibacterial activity.
