![]() The consumption of banana is good because of its nutritional value. The Same procedure was carried out for 70% isopropyl alcohol. Turbidity in the MIC tube indicated growth of the bacteria implying that the bacteria were resistant to the alcoholic extract of banana peel. ![]() ![]() After the incubation, the MIC values were determined by visual inspection of the tubes. The tubes were then incubated for 48–72 h at 37☌. By following this serial dilution, the concentrations of the alcohol extract of banana peel achieved were as the following – 500, 250, 125, 62.5, 31.25, 16, 8, 4, and 2 µl/ml, respectively. Then from the initial tube 200 µl was transferred to the first tube containing 200 µl of Thioglycollate broth. In the initial tube, 20 µl of alcohol extract of banana peel was added into the 380 µl of Thioglycollate broth. Dilutions of alcoholic extract of banana peel have to be done with Thioglycollate broth for minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). Serial broth dilution method was carried out to check the minimum inhibitory concentrations of alcohol extract of banana peel. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the presence of antibacterial activity and minimum inhibitory concentration of alcohol extract of banana peel ( Musa paradisiaca. Researchers have done studies demonstrating the antimicrobial activity of banana peel against various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, but none of them were done on the periodontal pathogens. This bioactive compound is reported to exert pharmacological effect, especially as an antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antibiotic. Bioactive compound such as flavonoids, tannins, phlobatannins, alkaloids, glycosides, and terpenoids are present in banana peel. Banana peel is a waste product of banana, and studies have shown that banana peel also has medicinal properties. All parts of banana plant such as flower, pulp, stem, and leaves have a medicinal application. Various traditional plants and plant products have shown antimicrobial activity against periodontal pathogens.īanana, tropical fruit belonging to Musaceae family, is grown in many countries all over the world. gingivalis) are major putative periodontal pathogens that have been associated with chronic periodontitis, aggressive periodontitis, and failure of periodontal therapy. actinomycetemcomitans) and Porphyromonas gingivalis ( P. Gram-negative bacteria play a central role in development and progression of periodontal diseases, among them Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans ( A. Periodontitis is a disease with multifactorial etiology leads to loss of tooth supporting structures and tooth. However in India, we still use traditional practice for treatment of various diseases since Vedic period. The current practice of medicine today has changed a lot from its practice in medieval times. ![]()
