Abstract
Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis have been recognized as pus-forming bacteria triggering an inflammation in acne and Malassezia spp, are the causative agent of dandruff in people who have over active sebaceous glands. The present study was conducted to evaluate antimicrobial activities of seed protein extracts from the seeds like flax seeds, soap nuts and pierre against the acne and dandruff causing organisms. The seed proteins were extracted by homogenizing the seeds powder with phosphate buffer followed by ammonium sulphate precipitation and dialysis for purification of protein. These proteins are used to assess the anti-acne and anti-dandruff activity using well diffusion method. MIC of the effective protein extract is determined.
