PRELIMINARY STUDIES ON PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF Limonia acidissima L. PLANT PARTS
نویسندگان
چکیده
The preliminary phytochemical analysis of Limonia acidissima plant parts such as bark, leaf, rind, pulp and seed showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, saponins, glycosides, phenols, gum and mucilage, fixed oils and fats, resins and tannins. Among the five plant parts, pulp possessed high amount of protein and the carbohydrate content was more in seeds and rind is rich was amino acid. The methanolic extracts of L. acidissima plant parts were tested against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus using disc diffusion method. The extracts from different parts showed varying degrees of antimicrobial activity.

متن کاملA green approach to synthesize controllable silver nanostructures from Limonia acidissima for inactivation of pathogenic bacteria
Controllable silver nanoparticles were developed by a green approach using extracts of both leaves and bark of Limonia acidissima tree. Due to the presence of phytochemical compounds in L. acidissima leaves and bark; such as saponins, phenolic compounds, phytosterols, and quinines present in extracts act as reductants, hence the silver nanoparticles were easily produced under mild conditions. T...
