In-vitro antioxidant and identification of the antimicrobial fraction in selected traditional foods

The current investigation aims to carry out antioxidant studies and the identification of antimicrobial fraction from various extracts of Setaria italica, Panicum sumatrense, Drimia indica, Bambusa bamboos seed. Nitric oxide assay was carried out in all the samples so as to detect its antioxidant activity. This study revealed significant antioxidant activity. Antimicrobial studies were carried out to determine the Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of different extracts, which gave significant results.
