Abstract
The study of the Effectiveness of Coconut (Cocos nucifera) Extract Against Aspergilosis revealed that, the testing of some brown coconut extracts, coconut water, positive control and negative control on Aspergillus sp fungi showed clear zone formed around the agar well, ethanolic extract showed 26.00 mm, 25.33 mm and 20.00 mm, for Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus brasiliensis respectively, donystatin antifungal drug was 22.67 mm, 17.67 mm and 20.83 mm for Aspergillus brasiliensis, Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus respectively, methanolic, aqueous, coconut water and distilled water showed no zone of inhibition. The ethanolic extract of brown coconut inhibited the growth/expansion of Aspergillus sp. The best inhibitor was acquired from the administration of ethanolic extract with an average diameter of 26.00 mm diameter of the inhibition zone. The nutritional and health implication of coconut fruit consumption should be encouraged because of its’ potency which can form the basis to exploit Cocos nucifera for therapeutic benefits.
