M. Razia*, Beulah and S.Sivaramakrishnan
ABSTRACT
The study was carried out to examined the phytochemical constituents and anti bacterial activity of Passiflora edulis. Aqueous, chloroform and methanolic extracts was performed for phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of carbohydrates, glycosides, flavonoids, alkaloids and phenolic compounds. The antimicrobial activities of the leaf extracts were screened against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumoniae. All the extracts showed antimicrobial activity against the pathogenic bacteria tested. Amongst the extracts examined, Methanolic extract exhibited the high antimicrobial activity against the bacteria. The phytochemical compounds were screened by GC-MS method. The Methanolic leaf extract presented 5 bioactive compounds. The identification of phytochemical compounds is based on the molecular weight and molecular formula. Dodecanoic acid,10-methyl-,methyl ester (C14H28O2), E,E,Z-1,3,12-Nonadecatriene-5,14-diol (C19H3402), 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid,2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester (Z,Z,Z) (C21H36O4 ), S.Hexadecenoic acid,9-octadecenyl ester (Z,Z) (C34H64O2 ) and Docosanoc acid,1,2,3 propanetriyl ester (C69H134O6) respectively.
Keywords: Key Words: Passiflora edulis, Phytochemical analysis, Antimicrobial activity, GC-MS.
