GC-MS ANALYSIS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF FIXED OIL FROM SUDANESE CAJANUS CAJAN (L.) (LEGUMINOSEAE) SEEDS. -

The present study was designed to identify the constituents of the fixed oil from seeds of Sudanese Cajanus cajan (L), and to evaluate its antimicrobial activity. GC- MS analysis of the fixed oil revealed the presence of 9,12? octadecadienoic acid ( 35.28%), hexadecanoic acid (19.74%), 9-octadecenoic acid (19.14%) , methyl stearate(6.71%) beside other minor constituents. In cup plate agar diffusion assay, the oil was screened for antimicrobial activity against six standard human pathogens and promising results were obtained. - See moreat:
