Extraction, Characterisation and Antimicrobial Activities of Mango Seed Oil

Abstract

The oil extracted from the Balamani mango seed kernels is evaluated for oil content, physico-chemical characteristics and fatty acid composition. The number of components present in the oil is found by HPLC and TLC. The oil is found to show antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidities but it induces the growth of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
