Study on Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activity of Extracts from Hydroponic Pennywort Tubers (Centella Asiatica (L.) Urban)
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 06
Abstract
Several plant species have been found to contain bioactive compounds that contribute positively to health and are utilized across food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The purpose of this research is to investigate the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of extracts derived from hydroponically grown pennywort tubers (Entella asiatica (L.) Urban). The results show that the antioxidant activity of the extract (IC50) was 6.85 mg/mL. The extract demonstrates antibacterial efficacy against foodborne pathogen Escherichiacoli and the pathogenic bacteriumStaphylococcus aureus at the extract concentration of 250 mg/mL. These results underscore the potential of hydroponically cultivated pennywort tubers as a source of bioactive compounds with beneficial applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Further research is warranted to fully explore the hydroponically grown pennywort tubers, aiming to harness their medicinal attributes for disease prevention and human health enhancement in the future.
