Abstract:
This research evaluates antifungal activity of different concentration of the plant crud extracts derived from leaves and flowers of Mentha pulegium against Alternaria citri in petri dishes (poisoned food). All extracts revealed obvious inhibitory activity against this fungi, but it varied according to plant parts used as a starting material, different concentrations of extracts and type of solvent. The results showed higher efficiency of ethanol extracts than those of methanol. Ethanol and methanol extracts of leaves were generally better than flowers extracts. MIC value of the leaves ethanol extracts was 0.01 g / ml and 0.015 g / ml for flowers ethanol extracts, while the MIC value was 0.015 g / ml for both leaves and flowers extracts when using methanol as an organic solution. MFC values of different extracts were slightly higher than MIC values. MFC of leaves ethanol extracts at 0.015 g / ml and 0.02 g / ml for the flowers ethanol extracts, while MFC value for the leaves methanol extracts was at the concentration 0.03 g/ml and at 0.04 for the flowers methanol extracts.
