A Source of Potential Antifungal Agent: Flower Extracts of Solanum melongena L.
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
The present study was carried out to investigate the antifungal activity of flowers of Solanum melongena L. against fungus Candida albicans. Extracts of varying concentration of flowers of S. melongena L. were prepared with Chloroform , Methanol and Phosphate Buffer . The result obtained revealed the antifungal effect of Phosphate Buffer and Chloroform extracts of flowers of S. melongena L. were effective against Candida albicans. This primary research signifies that extracts of flowers of S. melongena L. (Egg plant) can be utilized as a potential worldwide genetic resource to obtain cheap antifungal drugs in addition to their nutritional value.
