Abstract

The antifungal activity of various Annona squamosa solvent extracts against Candida albicans was investigated using the agar diffusion technique. Different solvent extracts of Annona squamosa stem were tested qualitatively for phytochemical analysis. Annona squamosa hexane extract had the best antifungal effectiveness against Candida albicans and contained substantially all phytochemical ingredients.
