Main Article Content
Abstract
Vaginal discharge is one of the symptoms of infection in the female reproductive tract. The cause of vaginal discharge is the fungus Candida albicans. One of the medicinal plants that has the potential as an antifungal is the turi leaf (Sesbania grandiflora L.). Turi leaves (Sesbania grandiflora L.) contain flavonoids, saponins, and tannins which act as antifungals. The purpose of this study was to determine the antifungal activity of liquid soap from turi leaf extract against the growth of Candida albicans. The thick extract of turi leaves was formulated into liquid soap with F0 (Base), F1 (3%), F2 (7%) which was tested against Candida albicans fungus using the well diffusion method with a positive control, namely Resik V Godokan Sirih.. The results of the study on liquid soap from turi leaves (Sesbania grandiflora L.) can inhibit the growth of Candida albicans fungi with an inhibition zone diameter of F0 14.95 ± 0.17 mm (moderate), F1 15.33 ± 0.48 mm with a (strong), F2 17.21 ± 0.50 mm with a (strong). Resik V (positive control) has an inhibition zone diameter of 19.00 ± 0.85 mm (strong) category. The most optimum formulation of liquid soap from turi leaves (Sesbania grandiflora L.) extract in inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans fungi is F2.
