The n-hexane extract inhibited DPPH-radicals inhibitions at 27% efficiency at 10 mg/ml concentration which was lower than the volatile oil DPPH-reactivity. The antimicrobial activity of n-hexane extract was relatively weaker than the volatile oil, except against &lt;em&gt;Candida albicans&lt;/em&gt; that showed IZD values of 19 mm with MIC value at 5.2 mg/ml for the volatile oil while IZD value of 26 mm and MIC at 4.7 mg/ml was observed for the n-hexane extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Despite high extractive value, the n-hexane as a solvent is not recommended for extraction as the oxygenated-terpenic components, considered responsible for antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were not fully extracted. The n-hexane extract which showed potent inhibition of &lt;strong&gt;C. albicans&lt;/strong&gt; can be a source for further investigation for bioactivities of its constituents.&lt;/p&gt;
