Abstract
Many kinds of spicy plants grow in Indonesia. One of them is kayu manis
(Cinnamomun burmanii) which is used not only for cooking, but also as traditional
medicine. One of the components contained in the bark and leaves of kayu manis is
volatile oil. Generally, volatile oil has an antifungal effect, therefore it’s inhibitory
effect was tested against fungi. The study was conducted to evaluate the anti fungal
effect of kayu manis to Candida albicans. The method used in this study was
determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)followed by determination
of zone inhibition around the disc. The result showed that kayu manis has the highest
antifungal activity against Candida albicans with 1% of MIC.
