Abstract
In vitro Study of Antibacterial Activity by Citrus aurantifolia Fruit Peel, Citrus limetta Fruit Peel and Citrus aurantifolia Leaves against Oral Pathogens
Peels and leaves of citrus fruit have shown the various effects against bacteria present in oral cavity. They have also shown various pharmacological activities against bacteria responsible for dental caries. The values of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were determined, the maximum zone of inhibition (16 mm) was observed in the combination of fruit peel and leaf waste. Scanning Electron Microscopy results also showed the effect of fruit peel and leaf waste extracts on bacteria. Peel and leaf waste extract effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria. The natural agents for antimicrobial activity have been detected in Citrus aurantifolia fruit peel and leaves.
