Identification & observation of anti-microbial activity in punica granatum leaf extract

Abstract

This study finally indicated that leaf extracts were found to posse’s good anti-microbial activity.Inhibition zone was observed by the leaf extracts. Hence, anti fungal activity was found by ethanol and aqueous extracts of leaf of Punica granatum.With this project on “Anti-microbial activity” Investigation on the leaf extract of “Punica granatum” We conclude that leaf extract of Punica granatum shows good Anti- microbial activity against Gram (+) ve and Gram (-) ve microorganisms. This may be because of Glycosides & Flavonoids.The powdered of leaf extract of Punica granatum has been subjected Soxhlet extraction by ethanol and Water as menstrum.By performing qualitative tests, water and Ethanol extract reveals the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides and phenolic compounds.Aqueous extract reveals the presence of alkaloids, glycosides and carbohydrates.The Anti-Microbial activity of extracts has been performed and its activity was determined.
