Abstract

In fact Solanum tuberosum peel contains a lot of nutrients. In the disc diffusion method, the effectiveness of the potato peel waste extract on the antibacterial activity against fungal infections was determined. Specificity of the antifungal activity for the phylogenetic group was again confirmed by the fact that media containing active rhizospheric bacteria inhibited the growth of different species of the pathogenic fungus. The specific aim of the study was, therefore, to determine if the crude methanolic extract of the peelings of Solanum tuberosum L. (White potatoes) possesses antifungal activities against . Indeed, when it comes to analysing various substrates, there is no single method that could be regarded as more important than Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It is also a strength of this technique that the analyst is able to perform analysis at nearly any state of the sample. For example, if proper sample preparation is used than liquids, solutions, pastes, powders, films, fibres, gases and surfaces can be tested. Many IR sampling techniques including diffuse reflectance and ATR sampling has been made easier by FTIR. This type of analysis was done using Fourier transform infrared (DRIFT) spectrometer. Evaluation of the antifungal properties of Solanum tuberosum peel bioactive metabolites of methanol, ethyl acetate, and ethanolic extract in comparison to three common antibiotics (Fluconazole (FCZ), Itraconazole (ICZ), and Posaconazole (PCZ)). Recorded (15.00±0.58, 13.74±0.25 and 17.00±0.30) for Trichophyton rubrum while (16.09 ± 0.29, 14.45 ± 0.28 and 18.90 ± 0.35) for Fusarium oxyporum and recorded (10.17 ± 0.20, 09.05 ± 0.18 and 13.00 ± 0.22) for Cladosporium herbarum in the same time antifungal activity of Candida albicans was (12.50 ± 0.24, 11.00 ± 0.19, and 15.47 ± 0.26). According to the current study's findings, Solanum tuberosum peels may be a valuable plant source of active chemicals with therapeutic value that can be used to treat certain fungal diseases.
