Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this research was to observe the effect of Javanese turmeric ethanol extract (JTEE) on the eradication of Candida albicans in
various phases of biofilm development.
Methods: C. albicans biofilms were exposed to JTEE at a concentration 1–45% for 1 h. Cell viability was tested by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-
diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, and the wavelength was read at 570 nm.
Results: The results showed that the 50% minimal biofilm eradication concentration was 30% in the early phase, 20% in the intermediate phase, and
25% in the maturation phase of the biofilm. The eradication percentage increased along with increasing JTEE concentration, but decreased with the
age of the biofilm.
Conclusion: We concluded that JTEE has the potential to eradicate C. albicans biofilms in various phases of development.
