Abstract:- The present study was carried out to find out the antimicrobial activity of ethanolic, methanolic, ethyl acetate & hot water extract of lemon fruit parts like peels & seeds. Antimicrobial analysis was done by using agar well diffusion method against bacterial and fungal pathogens. Methanolic extract of lemon peels exhibited the maximum zone of inhibition against Pseudomonas aeruginosa whereas hot water extract of lemon peels exhibited least zone of inhibition. Ethanolic extract of lemon seeds showed maximum zone of inhibition against Pseudomonas aeruginosa whereas hot water extract showed least zone of inhibition. MIC value was determined by using micro broth dilution method. The least concentration was obtained 2.4 mg/ml for ethanolic and hot water extracts of lemon peels against S. aureus. The MBC value also determined and phytochemical analysis showed the presence of tannins, glycosides, reducing sugars and flavonoids.
Keywords:- Antimicrobial analysis, methanolic, ethanolic & hot water plant extract, MIC, MBC, zone of inhibition, phytochemical analysis. |
