Abstract:Jaboticaba peels are an important source of health-benefit and antimicrobial compounds. The present work aims to evaluate concentration of polyphenolics and the mode of action of aqueous extract from jaboticaba peels against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Jaboticaba peel extract showed minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration against S. aureus of 5.1 g L-1 and 10.1 g L-1, respectively; meanwhile, against E. coli the parameters were 2.0 g L-1 and 3.4 g L-1.
