Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activities of Dialium indum / Izzul Nazmi Bokhari

Dialium indum or also known as keranji in Malay is a type of tree that grows wild in forest or forest edge and grows through seeds. These trees are growing wild in lowland forest in Malaysia, Thailand and Indo-China. Nevertheless, there is too little study has been recorded about Dialium indum espec...

The aim of this study is to identify the phytochemicals available and antimicrobial activity in D. indum fruit pulps extracts. Three different types of solvents which are methanol, cyclohexane and dichloromethane are used to identify the phytochemical contents and antimicrobial activities in D. indum. For antimicrobial activity study, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli were chosen for the purpose of testing the antimicrobial activities in D.indum. The D. indum solvent extracts were prepared at various concentration ranging 25 - 100µg/µl and disc diffusion assay method was used to observe the zone of inhibition in each solvent extracts before the results were analyzed statistically. Result showed that methanol extract managed to extract tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins and alkaloids from D. indum fruit pulp. Whereas antimicrobial activity shown better result in cyclohexane extract compared to methanol extract and DCM extract in the plates containing B. subtilis and E. coli with most of zone of inhibition present in cyclohexane extracts were bigger than methanol extracts and DCM extracts whereas methanol extract showed the highest zone of inhibition compared to DCM extract and cyclohexane extract in the plates containing S. aureus. From the results obtained, D. indum fruit pulps have the potential to be developed as antibiotics due to large zone of inhibition presented by the D. indum extracts. In addition, the phytochemical contents present in D. indum also have antimicrobial properties that contributed to the antimicrobial activity in D. indum extracts. 2016 Student Project PeerReviewed text en https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/68669/1/68669.PDF Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activities of Dialium indum / Izzul Nazmi Bokhari.
