Disinfectant production using Sysigium cumini seed extract by analysing and characterising it's properties

Biotechnology

The Syzygium cumini seeds have many properties in different biological field. The present study was done to produce disinfectant from the Syzygium cumini seed extract against pathogenic organisms and to analyse the Phytochemical, GC-MS, preservative property, cytotoxic activity of the extract. The methanolic extract of S. cumini was used to prepare the Disinfectant along with Lemon grass oil. Phytochemical tests were done to characterize the compounds responsible for activity. Alkaloids, Jambosine, Glycoside, Saponins, Terpenoids, Resins and Quinones were found to be present in the extract. The extract was analysed by GC-MS and 9 compounds were found to be present in the Syzygium cumini seed extract. Cytotoxic activity of the S. cumini seed extract was tested in Human Erythrocytes (RBC). Active components present in S. cumini seed extract have got a good preservative property by increasing the Shelf life of the food products, so its preservative property was studied in Chicken, Meat and Fish. Disinfectant produced from S. cumini seed extract has got antimicrobial activity against many pathological organisms and was tested in Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis (gram positive) and Pseudomonas aerogenosa, Brucella (gram negative). The Syzygium cumini seeds can used be in all biological fields and it is a cost effective method to produce disinfectant against pathogenic organisms thus it can be used for cleaning purposes in laboratories and hospitals. Keywords: Syzygium cumini, Phytochemicals, GC-MS, Cytotoxic activity, Shelf life, Disinfectant.
