Abstract:

Prosopis juliflora leaf supercritical fluid extract was used in this work to screen the bioactive components and evaluate its antimicrobial traits against food bornepathogens. For extraction, supercritical carbon dioxide and Soxhlet techniques were applied. For the purpose of characterising the phyto-components, theextract was run through a Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) and a Fourier Transform Infrared. When compared to soxhlet extraction, more components (35) were eluted by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), according to GC-MS screening. In tests using Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, and Staphylococcus aureus as food-borne bacterial pathogens, SFE P. juliflora extracts showed greater zones of inhibition of 13.90 mm, 14.47 mm, and 14.53 mm, respectively. The recovery of the phyto-components by SFE is more effective than by soxhlet extraction, according to the results of GC-MS screening. P. juliflora may offer unique naturally occurring inhibitory metabolites that act as antibacterial agents.
