Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Carum Carvi seed oil was studied by GC-MS. The oil was also assessed for antimicrobial activity. Fourty five components were detected by GC-MS analysis. Main constituents are: 9-octadecenoic acid (z)-methyl ester (45.82%), 9,12-octadecenoic acid(z,z)-methy1 ester(15%), estragole (11.48%). The antibacterial activity of the oil was evaluated via the diffusion assay against five standard pathogenic bacteria (Gram positive: Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtitlis; Gram negative: Esherichia coli and Pseudomonasa aeruginosa and the fungus Candida albicans). With the exception of Bacillus subtilis, Carum carvi oil showed activity against all test organisms at: 50-25mg/ml.The oil exhibited excellent activity against Staphylococcus aureus in the concentration range: 50-25mg/ml. At: 50mg/ml it showed significant activity against the yeast: Candida albicans
