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. Aqueous and ethanol ex...

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. Aqueous and ethanol extract from Mucuna pruriens seed husk were examined for presence of phytochemicals. The antimicrobial activities of the extracts against the predominant food spoilage bacterial and fungal isolates were evaluated by agar well diffusion method.
