Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Characterization of preliminary phytochemical components of banana ( Musa paridasiaca ) Pseudostem juice was determined. Banana Pseudostem juice extracted from fresh banana Pseudostem was tested for antimicrobial activities. The level of antimicrobial effect was established using an invitro agar assay and standard broth dilution susceptibility test. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of different minerals and tannins. The banana Pseudostem extract exhibited the strongest antimicrobial effect against Staphylococcus aureus . Other bacterial strains were also sensitive to the Banana Pseudostem juice.
