Abstract

work better when mixed with other essential oils. Every essential oil has many compounds and known for their benefits like healing properties and aromatic compound. When mixing essential oils between one oil and another, they can compensate for their strengths and weaknesses of each other. In this research, Cinnamon, Patchouli and Coriander essential oil combined to strengthen their antimicrobial activities. Variation was done by combining between 3 types of essential oils at different combination ratios 1:1 and 1:2 (v/v). Furthermore, the oil was tested on Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli using the paper disk method and vapour test. From the results obtained it is known the strength of the antibacterial activity when the oil is in direct contact with microorganisms and the strength of volatile compounds of essential oils in inhibiting antimicrobial activity. The essential oils were also characterized using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) to determine the levels and presence of compounds suspected of having antimicrobial activity. The results show the weakest antimicrobial activity EO combination were when using patchouli and coriander. Meanwhile, the strongest when testing paper disks and the vapour test is a combination of cinnamon and patchouli, cinnamon and coriander, cinnamon, patchouli and coriander.
