Some plants, such as Calophyllum soulattri , can function as natural preservatives with antifungal properties. Objective:  This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of C. soulattri leaf extract as measured by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum killing concentration (MKC). Methods:  A dilution method was used to isolate the fungus that contaminated coconut neera. MIC and MKC antifungal activity were then evaluated using the liquid dilution method. Results:  The results indicated that the contaminant fungi found in coconut neera belonged to the genus  Penicillium . The MIC was 12.5%, while the MKC was 18.75%. Conclusion :  C. soulattri  leaf extract has the potential to be developed as an antifungals for food preservation. UR - http://jos.unsoed.ac.id/index.php/api/article/view/5929
