Uji Aktivitas Antibakteri dan Antioksidan Ekstrak Pigmen Klorofil Rumput Laut Caulerpa racemosa (Forsskal) J.Agardh
Abstract: The determination of
antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of Chlorophyll pigment of Caulerpa
racemosa (Forsskal) J.Agardh is described in this study. The aim of the study
was to find out the effectiveness of chlorophyll extract in inhibiting growth
of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Paper disc method was used to
study the hampering the ability of chlorophyll toward both bacteria, and the
DPPH (1,1-difenil-2-dipikrilhidrazil) method was used to find out the
antioxidant activity. The result showed that extract chlorophyll can inhibit
the growth of both bacteria at the concentration of 100% with the inhibition
diameter zone 2.170 cm and 2.100 cm respectively. Whereas the IC50 of the
chlorophyll is 2350.3 ppm can be served as an antioxidants.
