Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to identify phytochemicals and anti-microbial activity of the coir pith part extract of cassava root. Preliminary Phytochemical screening was carried out for all the three extracts: n-hexane, methanol and ethanol as per the standard methods. Antibacterial activity of methanol crude extract of the coir pith part (M. esculenta) was performed and it was carried out by using agar well diffusion method. The preliminary phytochemical screening shows alkaloids and flavonoids present only on methanol crude extract and tannins, saponins, flavonoids, glycosides steroids, terpenoids and phenols are available on ethanol, methanol and n- hexane crude extracts. The zone of inhibition of methanolic extract of M. esculenta is 13.67 ± 0.58 mm, 16.67 ± 0.57mm and 18.33 ± 0.58mm at concentration of 25mg/ml, 50mg/ml and 100mg/ml in P. aeruginosa, respectively, and 12.33 ± 1.53mm, 13 ± 1.00mm and 15.33 ± 0.58mm at concentration of 25mg/ml, 50mg/ml and 100mg/ml in S. aureus, respectively. Moreover, the extract also showed moderate antibacterial activity at all concentrations in the range between 12 mm to 18mm on both tested organisms. So, the present study concludes that the coir pith extract anti-nutrients because of the presence of tannins, saponins, steroids and phenols.
