The objective of this research was to measure antibacterial activities of ethanolysis products that produced through ethanolysis reaction of mixture of palm kernel oil (PKO) and Morinda seeds oil (25:1 and 50:1, w/w) in ethanol solution contained 1% NaOH (v/w based on oil weight) at ratio of 5 : 6 (b/v) and shaken on a shaker (300 rpm, room temp.) for 3, 6, 9 and 12 minutes. Fractionation of ethanolysis products using absolute ethanol (1:3; v/v) and centrifuged at 4.000 rpm for 30 min, yielding Fraction 1 (upper layer) and Fraction 2 (lower layer).  Generally, all ethanolysis products showed antibacterial activities against four test bacteria (E. coli, S. aureus, B. cereus and S. enteritidis) at range of d values (mm) from 0,93 (B. cereus; 3 min) up to 3,87 (E. coli; 9 min). Fraction 1 showed the highest antibacterial activity with d values (mm) from 1,20 (B. cereus; 9 min) up to 5,63 (E. coli; 9 min), while Fraction 2 for all treatments had no antibacterial activity, relativelly.  Ethanolysis products and its fraction (Fraction 1) were resulted from ethanolysis reaction for 6 and 9 min showed higher antibacterial activities than those for 3 and 12 min.
