Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectroscopy Analysis, antibacterial Activity of Fixed Oil from Acacia polyacantha (Sudanese Kakamout) Seeds
The objective of this study was investigating the chemical constituents and to assess it is potential antibacterial of Fixed Oil from Acacia polyacantha (Sudanese Kakamout) Seeds. Using cold maceration method to extract the Fixed Oil from Acacia polyacantha (Sudanese Kakamout) Seeds. Where paper disc diffusion assay were employed to evaluate the antibacterial activities .GC-MS analysis were identified and quantified the constituents of Oil. Thirty seven components in the Fixed Oil from Acacia polyacantha (Sudanese Kakamout) Seeds. Five of them are major namely, the predominant compounds. were 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z),methyl ether(31.24%), 11-Octadecenoic acid, methyl ester(11.45%), Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester(12.81%) , Methyl stearate(21.54%) and Eicosanoid acid, methyl ester (8.28%). The present work reveals that the extract confirm activity against Escherichia coli (18), Pseudomonas aureus (16), Staphylococcus (14) and Candida albicans (20) In conclusion, the results showed that the Oil of Acacia polyacantha is a potential source of natural antibacterial and justify its uses in folkloric medicines.
