ABSTRACT
Lemon plants are shrubs or trees, lemon orange has a high content of vitamin C
compared to lime and is a source of vitamins A, B1, B2, phosphorus, calcium, pectin,
essential oils, 70% limonene, felandren, bioflavonoid kumarins, geranyl acetate , citric
acid, linalyl acetate, and fiber.The purpose of the research test for lemon juice (Citrus
limon) activity as an antibacterial with various concentrations is expected to inhibit the
growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria causing cavities. Antibacterial testing was carried
out with two methods, namely the minimum inhibitory concentration test (MIC) using
dilution method and test of the inhibition area diameter (DDH) uses the diffusion method.
Concentration of Minimum Inhibiting lemon juice (MIC) with a concentration of 2%, 4%,
6%, and 8% and test of the inhibition area diameter (DDH) with a concentration of 4%,
6%, and 8%, the concentration used to measure clear zone diameter was obtained after the
MIC test.The results obtained based on the picture above show that thick lemon juice at a
concentration of 2% still has the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria, and in the DDH
test the concentration of 8% is the most effective in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus
mutans bacteria with an average value of 8.6 mm .
