Specifically this aimed to answer the following questions: 1. What is the result of hot pepper extract for solubility test? 2. What are the significant differences between the different hot pepper extract concentration levels, in terms of zone of inhibition? 3. In which group of target microorganism is hot pepper (Capsicum annuum) extract more effective as disinfectant? 4. How does the hot pepper (Capsicum annuum) extract as a disinfectant compare with commercially available disinfectant? Methodology The experimental type of research was used in this study.
