Abstract
The traditional use of chemical-based antimicrobial substances has adverse effects on human health. Consequently, there is a growing demand for alternative antimicrobial agents sourced from natural origins that are potentially effective and safe for human consumption. Primary aim of this research is to explore the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of leaf extracts from Bauhinia variegata and stem extract from Sarcostemma acidum, along with determining their phenolic content. The sample extracts of both the plants were evaluated for antioxidant properties using DPPH radical scavenging activity. Moreover, their antibacterial efficacy was assessed against various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria at different concentrations. Both the sample extracts demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against the tested microorganisms. Additionally, the results indicated promising values for these plant extracts as natural antioxidants and antibacterials, suggesting their suitability for applications in materials requiring antioxidant and antibacterial properties.
