Cavendish Banana Peel Extract’s Antibacterial Activities Potential as Disinfectant

Highlights:1. The COVID-19 pandemic makes personal hygiene more important than ever, and antibacterial substances such as disinfectants are crucial in maintaining said hygiene.2. MBC of cavendish banana peel extract against the growth bacteria Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus was 25%, with no activity Bacillus subtilis.3. Musa acuminata has potential to be used a disinfectant. AbstractIntroduction: hygiene. This study aimed determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) bactericidal (MBC) (Musa acuminata) aureus, coli, subtilis. Methods: design this laboratory experiment that broth dilution method test tubes using methanol extract’s solvent. Sterile aquadest solvent, Mueller-Hinton medium tubes. All samples (Staphylococcus subtilis) were provided by Laboratory Microbiology Faculty Medicine, Universitas Airlangga.Results: only parameter found due color particulates, which hindered turbidity assessment MIC. From test, subtilis.Conclusion: There activities coli. Therefore, it
