Identifikasi komponen dan Uji Potensi Anti Jamur Minyak Atsiri Serai Dapur (Cympobogon citratus) Terhadap Jamur Penghasil Aflatoksin
Component identification and the Measurement of Antifungal Potential of Lemongrass oil against Aflatoxin Producing Fungi
Abstract
Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus are food spoilage fungi and produce aflatoxin that causes serious food safety problems. The antifungal agent is needed to control these fungi. This study aimed to determine the component of lemongrass essential oil and to test the oil’s ability to inhibit the growth of A. flavus and A. parasiticus. Five variations in the concentration of lemongrass oil were tested separately on A. flavus and A. parasiticus and, fungal growth was observed for 7 days. The results of the identification of the essential oil components using GC-MS showed that lemongrass essential oil has the main components of citral (53.77%) and z-citral (34.05%). Lemongrass essential oil with various concentrations (0.01%; 0.02%; 0.04% and 0.08%) showed the ability to inhibit the growth of A. flavus and A. parasiticus and the concentration of 0.08% indicated that lemongrass oil could inhibit the growth of both fungi for 100% during 7 days of observation.

ABSTRAK
Aspergillus flavus dan A. parasiticus merupakan jamur yang banyak ditemukan mengkontaminasi pangan. Kedua jamur tersebut menghasilkan aflatoksin, yang berbahaya bagi kesehatan manusia, sehingga diperlukan anti-jamur untuk mengendalikan pertumbuhannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui komponen minyak atsri serai (Cymbopogon citratus) dan menguji kemampuan minyak tersebut sebagai penghambat pertumbuhan A. flavus dan A. parasiticus. Lima variasi konsentrasi minyak serai diujikan secara terpisah pada A. flavus dan A. parasiticus dan dilakukan pengamatan pertumbuhan jamur selama 7 hari. Hasil identifikasi komponen minyak atsiri menggunakan GC-MS menunjukkan bahwa minyak atsri serai memiliki komponen utama citral (53,77%) dan z-citral (34,05%). Minyak atsiri serai dengan berbagai konsentrasi (0,01%; 0,02%; 0,04% dan 0,08%) menunjukkan kemampuan menghambat pertumbuhan A. flavus dan A. parasiticus dan konsentrasi 0,08 % menunjukkan bahwa minyak serai mampu menghambat pertumbuhan kedua jamur sebesar 100 % selama 7 hari pengamatan
