EFFECT OF CONCENTRATION OF OCIMUM SACTUM Linn (TULSI) LEAVES EXTRACT ON THE MICROORGANISM GROWTH
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
the world for natural medicines. Tulsi is known as “Queen of plants” and “The mother medicine of nature”. Ocimum sanctum has number of chemical compounds (beta carotene, calcium, vitamin C, estragol, lina chavicol and small quantities of methyl cinnamate, cineole, and other terpenes, tannins, camphor, flavonoids, triterpene: urolic acid) for curing and preventing diseases. This plant has valuable antimicrobial resources. These plants can produce a large number of secondary metabolites which can produce significant action against human pathogens. Ocimum extract inhibit the growth of Bacillus subtilis. From the diffusion method, the inhibition on microorganism with four zones (80, 70, 60 inhibition was increased with the concentration of Ocimum extract. Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common diseases characterized by hyperglycaemia. One approach is to reduce the p and delay the absorption through the inhibition of alpha amylase enzyme and alpha glucosidase. The absorbance values of alpha amylase tubes with 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5ml Ocimum extract were 0.34, 0.29, 0.21, 0 0.06. The absorbance values of alpha glucosidase tubes with 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5ml Ocimum extract were 0.63, 0.56, 0.48, 0.32, 0.17 and 0.13.Increasing the concentration of Ocimum extract decreases the activity of enzymes which play key role in carbohydrate hydrolysis in the digestive tract.
