Abstract
This research investigated the potential of extracts from leaf, fruit, wood, bark,
flower and seed of Pong Pong (Cerbera odollam) as wood preservatives against
fungal and termite. Preliminary evaluation of antifungal properties of n-hexane, ethyl
acetate, ethanol and methanol extracts was evaluated via paper disc antifungal assay.
Chemical compounds of antifungal active extracts were analysed via gas
chromatography mass spectrometer. Termite mortality of methanol extracts was
evaluated. The effect of extracts to solid Rubberwood including fungal decay, termite
decay, and soil burial were evaluated.
