Phytochemical analysis and biological activity of Melastoma malabathricum and Dissochaeta gracilis / Wan Nur Aqilah Wan Mohd Samsudin
This study is point out on Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) profilling, phytochemical analysis, antibacterial activity and antioxidant activity of Melastoma malabathricum and Dissochaeta gracilis. Both of them are belongs to Melastomataceae family. Both samples were extracted by using cold extraction...
