    Annona Squamosa Lab Report

    In aqueous leaf extract of Annona squamosa Linn.of this study however we found that the aqueous extract of leaf has also reported to inhibit the growth of gram negative bacteria strain (Aeromonas hydrophila). Aqueous extract of Annona squamosa in 100% concentration showed highest antibacterial activity against the fish pathogen A.hydrophila with the inhibition zone of 16.5 ± 0.91mm and no inhibition zone was found at 25% and 50% of extract respectively.The positive control Linezolid disc showed the highest inhibition zone of 11.67±1.5mm, distilled water was used as negative control, noinhibition zone was observed in control. Our investigation showed that the antibacterial activity shown by the aqueous leaf extracts of the Annona squamosa Linn. plants is possibly due to the presence of phytochemicals i.e tannins, phenols and…

    Curry Leaf

    Sir, it is nice to know that dental decay in children's teeth is decreasing in the UK as reported recently in the BDJ’s news pages (BDJ 2004, 197:64) In developing countries, (more often in the rural areas) there is higher prevalence of dental and periodontal disease due to negligence and lack of awareness and the cost of oral health care has increased in these countries. Essential oil (EO) mouthwashes are important in oral health management1. They contain thymol, eucalyptus oil and menthol and the tepenes present have antibacterial and antifungal activity2,3. They have broad antimicrobial effects, are microbiologically safe 3,4 and have the ability to penetrate the plaque biofilm killing the microorganisms5. The curry leaf tree (Murraya Koenigii spreng – a green leafy vegetable) is grown all over India and other countries for its aromatic leaves which are used daily as an ingredient in Indian cuisine. The fresh curry leaves contain 2.6% volatile essential oils (containing sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes)6 and the essential oils in the curry leaves are sufficiently soluble in water. They contain 21000µg total carotene, 7100µg beta carotene, 93.9µg total folic acid, 0.21mg riboflavin, 0.93mg iron, 830mg calcium, 57mg phosphorus and 0.20mg zinc per 100g7. The cold extract of curry leaves (10g of cut fresh curry leaves in 200ml of distilled water) has a pH of 6.3 to 6.4. (unpublished personal observations). Chlorophyll has been proposed as an anticariogenic agent and it also helps to reduce halitosis8. We have observed that holding curry leaves in the mouth for 5 to 7 minutes is helpful in reducing halitosis9 and that the terpenes have been found to reduce airborne…

    Antimicrobial Activity of Banana (Musa sapientum Linn.) Inflorescence Ethanolic Extract against E. coli and S. aureus

    The development of antibacterial agents derived from micro-organisms and chemotherapeutic agents from plants is a research area of the utmost importance. The present study was designed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of banana (Musa sapientum Linn.) Blossom extract against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli). The appropriate extraction process with an outstanding antibacterial activity of the extract was the alcoholic extraction with 80% ethyl alcohol for 48 hours. The antimicrobial activities of the extract were evaluated using paper disc diffusion methods and assay plates. β-sistosterol, 12- hydroxystrearic acid, palmitic acid and d-malic acid and tannic acid, the bioactive…

    Antibacterial Properties of Derris elliptica Benth Sure Against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli

    Like other legumes, D. eliptica can be nodulated by specific group of bacteria subsequently providing nitrogen for the plants and reducing the need for costly artificial fertilizer (Ponsilp and Boonkerd, 2007). Recent studies reported this plant as nitrogen-fixing symbionts legumes however the properties of D. eliptica specifically its leaves were known. Hence this study aims to examine the antimicrobial activity of D. eliptica leaves in hot water extract and ethanol extract.…
