Overview

Phytochemical analysis reveals avocado seed extract's antimicrobial efficacy and antioxidant potential in various organisms, suggesting its herbal treatment applications.

Key Points

  • Avocado seed extracts demonstrate significant antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi, with specific inhibitors identified.
  • The minimum inhibitory concentration for test organisms was established at 2.5 mg/mL, indicating its effectiveness.
  • Antioxidant activity increased with concentration, achieving a DPPH radical inhibition of 40.69% at 400 µg/mL.
  • Phytochemical analysis showed the presence of key secondary metabolites, which contribute to the extract's bioactivity.
