ABSTRACT
Kalamansi orange (Citrus microcarpa Bunge.) was used as a food ingredient by the community but its efficacy as an antibacterial is unknown. Based on the literature, the main content of citrus fruit skin is essential oil. Essential oils can inhibit or kill bacterial growth. The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of essential oils of citrus peel against the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Antibacterial activity testing used the diffusion agar method by means of wells, with extract concentrations of 5%, 25%, 50%, and 100%. The results showed that essential oils of citrus fruit peel had a diameter of up to 11.16 mm against Staphylococcus aureus and 13.33 against Escherichia coli.
