ABSTRAK
Ekstrak daun salam (Syzygium polyanthum Wigh) memiliki potensi sebagai antijamur,
dengan senyawa aktif yaitu flavonoid, polifenol, tanin dan alkaloid. Trichophyton rubrum
merupakan jamur dermatofita yang menyebabkan infeksi dermatofitosis dan bersifat patogen
terhadap manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui diameter zona hambat pertumbuhan
jamur Trichophyton rubrum, konsentrasi ekstrak daun salam yang efektif, serta menganalisis
pengaruh konsentrasi ekstrak daun salam terhadap pertumbuhan jamur Trichophyton rubrum.
Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah eksperimental semu dengan teknik pengambilan sampel
Purposive Sampling. Populasi penelitian ini daun salam yang diambil di daerah Parit H. Husein
1, Pontianak Tenggara. Sampel yang digunakan adalah ekstrak etanol daun salam dengan
konsentrasi 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% 70%, 80%, 90% dan 100%. Berdasarkan hasil uji
laboratorium didapatkan nilai rata-rata zona hambat pertumbuhan jamur Trichophyton rubrum
yaitu sebesar 10,9833 mm dengan jumlah sampel 30 sampel, zona hambat maksimum yaitu 18,50
mm, zona hambat minimum yaitu 5,00 mm. Rata-rata diameter yang didapat pada konsentrasi
10% yaitu sebesar 5,83 mm, diikuti oleh konsentrasi 20% sebesar 6,17 mm, 30% sebesar 7,33
mm, 40% sebesar 8,50 mm, 50% sebesar 9,00 mm, 60% sebesar 11,33 mm, 70% sebesar 13,33
mm, 80% sebesar 14,33 mm, 90% sebesar 16,33 mm dan 100% sebesar 17,67 mm. Konsentrasi
Efektif terdapat pada konsentrasi 100%. Berdasarkan uji regresi linear didapatkan nilai R Square
sebesar 0,953 yang menunjukkan bahwa kontribusi pengaruh yang dihasilkan oleh ekstrak daun
salam sebesar 95,3%, nilai ANOVA dengan p value = 0,000 < α (0,05) sehingga dinyatakan
terdapat pengaruh konsentrasi ekstrak daun salam terhadap pertumbuhan jamur Trichophyton
rubrum metode difusi.
Bay leaf extract (Syzygium polyanthum Wigh) had antifungal activity that contained of
flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins and alkaloids. Trichophyton rubrum is dermatophyte fungus that
caused dermatophytosis infection and is pathogenic to humans. This study aims to determine the
inhibitory zone diameter of Trichophyton rubrum growth, effective bay leaf extract concentration,
and analyze the effect of bay leaf extract concentration on the growth of Trichophyton rubrum
fungus. The research method used was quasi-experimental with Purposive Sampling technique.
The study population was bay leaves taken from the Parit H. Husein 1 area, Southeast Pontianak.
The sample was ethanolic bay leaves extract with a concentration of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%,
60% 70%, 80%, 90% and 100%. Based on the results of laboratory tests, the average value of the
inhibition zone of Trichophyton rubrum fungus is 10.9833 mm with a sample of 30 samples, the
maximum inhibition zone is 18.50 mm, the minimum inhibition zone is 5.00 mm. The average
diameter obtained at a concentration of 10% is equal to 5.83 mm, followed by a concentration of
20% of 6.17 mm, 30% of 7.33 mm, 40% of 8.50 mm, 50% of 9.00 mm, 60% of 11.33 mm, 70%
of 13.33 mm, 80% of 14.33 mm, 90% of 16.33 mm and 100% of 17.67 mm. Effective
concentration is at 100%. Based on the linear regression test, the R Square value of 0.953 showed
the effect produced by bay leaf extract was 95.3%, the ANOVA value was p value = 0,000 < α
(0.05) so that showed the inhibitory effect of the concentration of bay leaf extract on Trichophyton
rubrum fungus growth by diffusion method.
