PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND IN VITRO ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF AQUEOUS AND ETHANOL EXTRACTS FROM MUCUNA PRURIENS HUSKS AGAINST SOME FOODBORNE MICROORGANISMS
Recently, plant by-products are being explored as safe and sustainable sources of bioactive compounds. This is the first study to screen phytochemicals and evaluate the antimicrobial activity of extracts from Mucuna pruriens husk for potential application as food preservative.
