Investigation on the Antibacterial Activity and Phytochemical Screening of the Fruit Seed Extracts of Agro Waste

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the seed extracts from agro waste to examine the effectiveness of antimicrobial. Therefore, by using the disc diffusion assay, the antibacterial activity was evaluated along with two medically important bacterial pathogens such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (MRSA) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) in the seed extracts of Cucurbita sp., Carica papaya L., Nephelium lappaceum, Mangifera indica, Durio zibethius and Artocarpus heterphyllus Lam seeds. Seed extracts of agro waste were analyzed for the phytochemical constituents. Analysis of the qualitative phytochemical indicated the importance of phytochemical compounds for instance glycosides, saponins, flavanoids, tannins and alkaloids. Variations had been seen in the inhibition zone depending on the species and different seed extracts concentrations used for bacteria, the highest inhibition zone observed for M. indica and C. papaya L. The obtained data of this study presented greater insights which allow the use of seed extracts that were obtained from the agro-waster, to be used as raw materials for food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.

Determination of trace amount of some drugs as in its pure form and in its Pharmaceutical Preparations by using different spectroscopic methods

“…Adrenaline, dopamine, and methyl dopa (35) were estimated using this reaction. The oxidative coupling reactions are crucial in the determination of a variety of pharmacological compounds, especially organic compounds, as well as many metal ions as applied spectral methods (36,37,38), chromatography (39), and flow injection analysis (40) are used to analyze many important compounds in agriculture, food, and the environment, as well as clinical and pharmaceutical analyses. The nature of the reacted materials, the reaction conditions, and the stability of the colored products in the various reactions all have an effect on the reactions of oxidative coupling, with the probability of obtaining it in acidic, alkaline, or neutral medium depending on the nature of the reacted materials, the reaction conditions, and the stability of the colored products in the various reactions (41).…”
