Keywords: Batak Onion, Anti-fungus, Candida albicans, Solid Soap
Abstract: Batak onion (Allium chinense) is a secondary metabolite compound that has anti-fungal activity. This study
was conducted to determine the antifungal activity of ethanol extract of batak onion solid soap against
Candida albicans with a concentration of 15%, 20%, 25%. Candida albicans is a normal flora that can be on
the skin, genital tract, upper respiratory tract, and digestive tract including the oral cavity. An infection caused
by a fungus is called candidiasis. Batak onion was extracted by diffusion method using 96% ethanol solvent.
The diffusion method is used to see the antifungal activity of candida albicans. The negative control that used
was Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), while the positive control used was nystatin. Solid soap from batak onion
extract showed antifungal activity at a concentration of 25% by inhibiting fungal growth with inhibition zone
diameter of 15.35 mm and minimum inhibitory concentration at a concentration of 20% with inhibition zone
diameter of 14.67 mm. The higher the concentration of ethanol extracts on the batak onion, so then the higher
the diameter of the inhibitory zone in the growth of the fungus candida alibicans. This research proved that
the solid soap from ethanol extract of batak onions has antifungal activity against candida albicans.
1 INTRODUCTION
Candida albicans is a major fungal pathogen in
human, especially in patients whose immune system
was compromised. Candidiasis can take many forms,
from mucosal candidiasis to spread disease, often
with the involvement of multiple organs, depending
on the effect of the underlying host. The defense
mechanism of the host against Candida albicans
infection is very complex and some researchers have
shown an important role for phagocytic cells, cell-
mediated immunity and even humoral immune
responses in candidiasis resolution (Jahani et al,
2017). Growth pH ranges from 2 - 9, growth
temperature ranges from 10 – 35
O
C. Fungus has the
potential danger for human or animal health. This
organism can produce various types of toxins which
called mycotoxins. Vulvar vaginitis candidiasis
(VVC) is an infection of the vulva and / or vagina due
to uncontrolled growth of the fungus Candida sp,
especially Candida albicans. Candidiasis is the most
frequent cause of vaginal discharge, its prevalence is
40%, mushrooming of this fungus growth causes
burning, pain during urination or having sex, the
discharge that comes out is usually thick, white like
milk, smell, and accompanied by intense itching in
pubic (Enzo Palese, Maurizio Nudo, Grazia Zino, et
al., 2018).
Candida albicans causes candidiasis which is a
fungal infection with the highest incidence caused by
opportunistic infections. Candida albicans causes
candidiasis throughout the world with a slight
difference in disease variations in each area.
Candidiasis species are more common in the tropics
while nail candidiasis in cold climates. This disease
can affect all ages, especially babies and parents. 5-7
Infections caused by Candida can be acute, subacute
or chronic in the entire human body. Candida albicans
is a monomorphic yeast and yeast likeorganism that
grows well at temperatures of 25-30
O
C and 35-37
O

(Mutiawati, 2016).
According to the research (Dian et al, 2017)
stated that mango leaf extract at a concentration of
1000 ppm indicates the antifungal activity of candida

albicans. Antifungal activity obtained was 8.12 mm.
Using ethanol extract of white tea showed that at a
concentration of 22% (w / v) the inhibition zone
diameter was found to be 11.50 mm (Widyasanti et
al, 2016). In research that uses manjakani gel extract,
water extract and methanol extract manjakani gel are
tested at a concentration of 5.0 mg / disc capable of
producing inhibition zones against Candida albicans
respectively 16 and 18 mm (Lohith Kunyeit, Nawneet
K. Kurrey, K. A. Anu-Appaiah, Reeta P. Rao., 2019).
In the use of the drug fluconazole begins to
provide an inhibitory response to the growth of
Candida albicans at a concentration of 512 µg/ml.
While nystatin can inhibit Candida albicans at a
concentration of 350 µg/ml (Paramita, 2016). In
previous studies using mango leaf extract, white tea
extract, manjakani gel extract, nystatin drug,
fluconazole drug and in this study the researchers
used batak onion extract which is known to have
antimicrobial activity due to its content of alisin and
thiosulfate. Batak onions also contain biological
compounds such as sulfur compounds, steroidal
saponins, nitrogen, flavonoids, amino acids (Jahani,
S. Bazi, S. Shahi, Z. Sheykhzade, A., 2017).
The saponin compounds contained in Batak
onions have antibacterial, antifungal, antipyretic
effects, increase synthetic DNA and protein, and
increase immunity. There is also research which
states that the steroid compound Allium chinense can
prevent cardiac injury due to oxidation substances
and has an anti-inflammatory effect because the
tubers contain succinic acid. (Lin et al, 2016).
Batak onion is autotetraploid plants with 2n = 32
chromosomes. The height of Plant can reach 50 cm
with a narrow leaf shape, bright green that blends
with the tuber stems below. The flowers of
A.chinense are lavender, long flower stalks, and
stamens stick out. The depth of Root can reach 45-50
cm with oval-shaped bulbs 4-5 cm in diameter. The
tubers are grayish white to purple wrapped in
transparent skin and white tuber flesh which gives a
very strong scent of onions. The nutritional
composition of the tubers includes carbohydrates
18.3%, total protein 3.1%, and fat 0.12. It was found
that there was potential for the onion as a toxic agent
against the parasite and showed that the onion has 10
times higher toxic power than garlic. Allicin can
totally inhibit RNA synthesis and partially synthesize
DNA and microbial proteins (Munthe, N.G,
Sembiring, I., & Siregar, W., 2019).
Indonesia is widely known as the second largest
biodiversity mega-flashlight after Brazil in the world,
which consists of around 7,000 types of plants that
have medicinal properties. The genus Allium (onion
tribe) has been widely studied because of its potential
as an antibacterial and antifungal and food
preservative. One of the onion plants that have been
widely used by the people of Indonesia, especially the
Batak tribe, is the batak onion (amillum chinense).
Allium chinense is a medicinal plant and food
ingredient that is often found in Asia, especially in
East and Southeast Asia. In East Asian countries,
especially in China, this plant has been used to treat
angina pectoris, cardiac asthma, and antiaggregation,
antiplatelet. In an in vitro test, it was found that the
sulfur content in Allium Chinense can affect plasma
cholesterol levels. In other studies, it was also found
that the steroid content in it could prevent heart
disorders caused by oxidative stress. Allium
Chinense also has antimicrobial activity due to the
content of alisin and thiosulfinate in it. The
transformation form of the two compounds is also
referred to as having quite potent antimicrobial
activity. Therefore, Allium Chinense can inhibit
many microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi,
viruses, and parasites (Gazzani and Grusak, 2012).
North Sumatra has various types of plants such
as fruits, vegetables and in particular has plantations
of Allium chinense or onion/chive onions found in the
highlands of Berastagi, Sidikalang, Tapanuli and the
surrounding area. One of the famous genus of plants
that is widely used by the community is Allium. The
Allium genus consists of more than 280 species
spread throughout the world. Most of the genus
Allium is used by the community as a spice in
cooking and traditional medicine. Various
antimicrobial compounds of the genus Allium have
long been known as allicin, diallyl disulfide, ajoene,
and 3- (Allyltrisulfanyl) -2-amino-propanoic acid
which has been proven to inhibit the growth of
microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and
parasites (Kyung, 2012) .
The aim of this research is to formulate ethanol
extracts of batak onions into solid soap preparations
that can be used as antifungal and safe to use for the
community. Solid bath soap is bath soap that made
using alkaline NaOH and is one of the cosmetics and
pharmaceutical preparations most often used by the
public to clean the body's skin from impurities. Bath
soap is the result of the saponification process which
involves the hydrolysis of a triglycerol fatty acid with
an alkali which produces a byproduct of glycerin
(Widyasanti, et al, 2017).

Sample processing began from the Batak onions
are cleaned of dirt by washing under running water
until clean then drained to dry after it is sliced into
small pieces dried in a drying cabinet / in the room
(aerated). Batak onions that have dried are blended
until they become powder weighed by weight and are
called simplicia.
The ethanol extract of batak onion was done by
maceration using 96% ethanol. This maceration
method was chosen because the method used is
simple and the tools used are easy to operate, and do
not need intensive supervision. This 96% ethanol
solvent was chosen because 96% ethanol can attract
secondary metabolites well and is good for
antimicrobial testing.
How it works: Samples of batak onions that have
dried as much as 500 g are blended to a simplicia
powder and then soaked with 96% ethanol. The
mixture is stirred strongly until it is homogeneous and
then allowed to stand for 5 days in a cool place and
protected from sunlight while stirring several times.
The results of the maceration are filtered with a
flannel cloth, the results of the maceration are filtrate,
then accommodated in glass speakers while the pulp
is macerated again and continued with the same steps
for 2 days. Then the first filtrate and the second
filtrate are combined into one container and then
concentrated with a rotary evaporator until the
ethanol has evaporated and only the aqueous extract
is left. Furthermore, the water content is removed by
heating it on a water bath (water bath), the
temperature is maintained at less than 600
o
C so as
not to damage the active ingredient contained in the
thick ethanol extract.
Making batak onion extract ethanol test solution
as much as 2.5 grams of ethanol extract of the batak
onions were weighed and then dissolved with DMSO
as much as 10 ml to obtain an extract of 250 mg/ml.
Make dilution until the extract is obtained with a
concentration of 250 mg/ml, 200 mg/ml, 150 mg/ml.
Making Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) Media as
much as 3 g of PDA powder was weighed, dissolve
in 1 liter of distilled water and heat until boiling until
all PDA powder dissolves, then sterilize in an
autoclave at 121
o
C for 15 minutes.

of olive oil, NaOH, stearic acid, glycerin, aquades.
Heat the olive oil with TEA in the beaker glass for 15
minutes at a temperature of 185
o
C then add other
ingredients. After homogeneous, add the onion
extract and perfume while stirring until
homogeneous. Print the soap in the mold and leave it
for 2 days at room temperature / refrigerator. After it
has cooled, remove it from the mold and do a test on
the fungus.
Antibacterial activity test for solid soap as much
as much as 0.1 ml suspension of the fungus Cancida
albicans was put into a sterilized petri dish. After that
poured PDA media that has been thawed as much as
15 ml with a temperature of 45-50
o
C, then
homogenized and allowed to stand until the media
solidifies at room temperature. Solid soap is dissolved
first with water, then paper discs are soaked into the
soap solution. On solid media, paper discs are placed
which have been soaked first in a solution of solid
soap from ethanol extract of batak onions with

From the examination of phytochemical
screening tests it can be seen that classes of chemical
compounds against the simplisia powder of batak
onions were carried out to obtain information on the
groups of secondary metabolites contained therein.
The examinations carried out include examination of
groups of alkaloid compounds, flavonoids, saponins
and steroids / triterpenoids.

The results of the examination of the antifungal
activity test of solid soap from the ethanol extract of
batak onions began to inhibit the growth of the fungus
Candida albicans at a concentration of 25% with a
diameter of inhibitory zone of 15.35 mm. The
minimum inhibitory concentration of the fungus
Candida albicans at a concentration of 15% with a
zone of inhibition zone is 13.14 mm. Thus the solid
soap from ethanol extract of the onion can inhibit
bacterial growth at a concentration of 25%. It showed
that the higher the concentration added to the solid
soap preparation, the higher the inhibition zone that is
obtained, it can be said that the inhibition zone is
getting stronger.
According to (Meidi Y Mangkasa, Johnly A
Rorong, and Audy D. Wuntu1, N., 2018), the
diameter of a 5-10 mm inhibition zone is categorized
as weak and the most effective antifungal inhibition
zone against an antifungal test is 14 to 16 mm.
According to (Ginting Munthe, N., Sembiring, I., &
Siregar, W., 2019), the diameter of the inhibition zone
5 mm is categorized as weak, the diameter of the
inhibition zone 14 to 20 is categorized strong and the
diameter above 20 is categorized very strong. Solid
soap from ethanol extract of batak onions began to
inhibit the growth of the fungus Candida albicans at a
concentration of 25% with a diameter of inhibitory
zone of 15.35 mm. The minimum inhibitory
concentration of the fungus Candida albicans at a
concentration of 15% with a zone of inhibition zone
of 13.14 mm and can be seen in Table 8. The activity
of an antimicrobial agent in inhibiting the growth or
killing of microorganisms depends on the
concentration of the antimicrobial (Meidi Y
Mangkasa, Johnly A Rorong, and Audy D. Wuntu,
N., 2018).

Antifungal activity on ethanol extract of Allium
chinense solid soap is caused by the presence of
chemical compounds that have antifungal activity,
namely saponins, flavonoids, and steroids.
Phenol/polophenol compounds are the largest group
of secondary metabolites that have antifungal
activity, have hydroxyl groups attached to aromatic
compounds. The location and number of hydroxyl
groups in phenol compounds affect the toxicity of
microorganisms. The combination of phenol
compounds can provide a synergistic effect and
increase antifungal reactions better than a single
compound.
Phenol compounds at low concentrations can
affect enzyme activity, whereas at high
concentrations cause denaturation of the protein
Saponin belongs to the antifungal group which
interferes with permeability of fungal cell
membranes. The mechanism of action of saponins as
an antifungal is to reduce surface tension resulting in
increased cell permeability or leakage and cause
intracellular compounds to exit the cell.

Flavonoid is chemical compounds that have
potential as antifungals. Flavonoids are a group of
phenol compounds that have a tendency to bind to
proteins, thus interfering with the process of fungal
metabolism, besides flavonoids also function as
antifungals by forming complex compounds against
extra cellular proteins that interfere with fungal cell
membranes.
The mechanism of terpenoids as an antifungal is
to react with porin (a transmembrane protein) on the
outer membrane of the fungal cell wall, forming a
strong polymeric bond, causing damage to the porin.
Terpenoid compounds are easily soluble in lipids, this
is the nature that causes these compounds to easily
penetrate the fungal cell wall (Enzo Palese, Maurizio
Nudo, Grazia Zino, et al., 2018).
4 CONCLUSION
The formulation of solid bath soap from ethanol
extract of Batak onion has antifungal activity on
Candida albicans because it contains secondary
metabolites such as Flavonoids, Saponins, and
Steroids which have antifungal properties and contain
alisin and thiosulfinic compounds which are known
to have antimicrobial activity. In this test researchers
used various concentrations such as concentrations of
15%, 20% and 25%. At a concentration of 15% shows
inhibition zone in fungi is still said to be weak and at
concentrations of 20% and 25% inhibition zone can
be said to be strong with inhibition zone values of
14.67 mm and 15.35 mm. Then the results obtained
by solid soap from ethanol extract of Batak onions
can be used as an antifungal Candida albicans.
