Description 202-213
Plants have been an important source of phytomedicines for thousands of years. Salvia hispanica L. distributed in
Central and Southern Mexico and Guatemala has potential medicinal properties. The current research focused on the
chemical characterization of the plant extracts from leaf, seed, and flower parts using gas chromatography-mass
spectrometry (GC MS) analysis and evaluating its antibacterial effects. Results of antibacterial tests proved that the crude
extracts could be potentially utilized in controlling some bacterial strains. The highest zone of inhibition (14.6 mm) was
observed against the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens at 50 μg/100 μL ethyl acetate flower extract. GC-MS analysis
confirmed the occurrence of 49 and 34 different compounds in the ethyl acetate flower and leaf extract respectively. Many
of them are used in industry for various applications like flavour and fragrance agent, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,
antimicrobial, antitumor etc. These plant extracts which proved to be potentially effective can be used as natural alternative
preventives to control food poisoning diseases and preserve foodstuff avoiding health hazards of chemical antimicrobial
agent applications.
