Abstract
Plants, their extracts, and plant essential oils are considered prominent sources of new therapeutic substances. Nowadays, medicinal plants like herbs attain the keen interest of consumers and researchers. The present study evaluated Piper betle ( P. betle ) and Persicaria odorata ( P. odorata ) leaf extracts for qualitative and quantitative phytochemical screening. The phytochemical analysis of P. betle and P. odorata leaf extracts presented the occurrence of tannins, flavonoids, saponins, phenols, glycosides, and volatile oils . The higher total phenolic content and total tannins were quantified from P. betle methanolic leaf extract. Additionally, it showed increased antioxidant activity compared to P. odorata leaf extracts. The in vitro antibacterial potential of both herbs was estimated against Salmonella enterica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Aspergillus brasiliensis. The methanolic leaf extract of Piper betle showed antibacterial and antifungal activity against these selected strains.
期刊介绍:
Asian Journal of Agriculture and Biology (AJAB) is a peer reviewed, open access, quarterly journal serving as a means for scientific information exchange in international and national fora. The scope encompasses all disciplines of agriculture and biology including animal, plant and environmental sciences. All manuscripts are evaluated for their scientific content and significance by the Editor-in-Chief &/or Managing Editor and at least two independent reviewers. All submitted manuscripts should contain unpublished original research which should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. In order to avoid unnecessary delay in publication, authors are requested to comply the following guidelines; differing these, your submission will be returned for additional revision.
