Preliminary Phytochemical Investigation and Evaluation Of AntiMicrobial Activity of Cocos Nucifera Oil

Abstract

The current work extract of oil isolated from the sun dried coconut pieces of Cocos nucifera. Then the

antimicrobial activty is evaluated by using suitable standard. The oil was collected from the sun dried

coconut pieces of Cocos nucifera using oil extraction Chekku electric machine. The oil extract of the

coconut pieces of Cocos nucifera was subjected to Anti-Bacterial studies against gram positive oraganism

and gram negative organism (Staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli,

Klebsiella pneumonia) as compared with ciprofloxacin as standard. Then the antifungal activity done

against Aspergillus Niger compared with ketaconazole as a standard.
