Abstract :
The ulin plant is a typical plant that can be
found in Indonesia. This plant is used traditionally, one of
which is mouthwash. In this study, antibacterial
biocativity testing was carried out on the ulin plant bark in
each extract. Preparation of ulin plant bark extracts using
the multistage maceration method and antibacterial
testing using the disc diffusion method and measured
based on the diameter of the inhibition zone. There were
three extracts produced, hexane, ethyl acetate and
methanol extracts. Each extract was tested for
antibacterial using Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The
results showed that hexane and ethyl acetate extracts were
included in the category of moderate antibacterial
compounds while methanol extracts were included in the
strong antibacterial category. So it can be concluded that
methanol extract is the most potential extract as
antibacterial.
