Abstract | ||||
The study investigated the efficacy of active chemical compounds from Melaleuca alternifolia against four distinct types of bacteria: Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Psedomonas aeruginosa, The fatty acids were obtained through the soaping process using Soxhlet continuous extraction device and were identified using techniques Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and phenols were also obtained after performing the acid hydrolysis process. The results of the diagnosis showed that the Melaleuca alternifolia is rich in phenolic compounds, and this What was indicated by the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique, as six phenolic compounds were separated, including Ferulic acid, Qurcetine, Gallic acid, Rutin, Chlorogenic acid, and Apigenin, and it showed The study found that the compounds used in the study have an active effect against the bacteria tested using an etch diffusion susceptibility test.
