Three vegetable dyes are used for the study: anthocyanin dye from pomegranate arils extract, betalain dye from beet root extract and chlorophyll dye from tridax procumbens leaf. The anthocyanin and betalain, anthocyanin and chlorophyll, betalain and chlorophyll dyes are blended in cocktail in equal proportions, by volume. This study determines the effect of different extraction concentrations a...

In-vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity of Tridax procumbens plant parts (leaf and stem) were investigated by agar well diffusion method. The petroleum ether, methanol and aqueous extracts of the plant parts were tested against two bacterial strains i.e., Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli and two fungal strains i.e., Trichoderma reesei and Fusarium oxysporium. The results of antibac...
