RESEARCH STUDIES ON EVALUATION OF PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF COLD ETHANOIC EXTRACT OF EUCALYPTUS OIL

Abstract

Medicinal plants which have antimicrobial compounds act against various pathogens. Myrtle family have different species. Eucalyptus is one among the myrtle family. Eucalyptus have different antimicrobial compounds. The plant grows well in many countries. This fast growing plant have different parts, each part has its own significant medicinal values lik timber, pulpwood, and different essential oils. Our research study showed phytochemical composition and antibacterial activities of eucalyputs leaves. The sample of eucalyptus is collected in the powder form. The eucalyptus powder is mixed into a cold ethanol and dry in a hot air oven. The dried extract was swapped and measured. Weighted 2.096g respectively and then the extract is used for phytochemical analysis and for quantitative analysis and then for antibacterial assay The results of this study suggest that the different concentrations of eucalyptus with various concentrations showed potential antibacterial activity.
