The Nutraceutical effects of grape seed extract and green tea extract was analyzed. The antimicrobial activity of all the above samples were studied by disc diffusion method against Pseudomoas spp., Flavobacterium spp, Aeromonas spp., Enterobacteriaceae, E. coli, lactobacillus spp., and staphylococcus spp. The antibiotic tetracycline disc used as a standard. All samples had been found to contain potent antimicrobial activity. The antioxidant activity was measured by DPPH method and compared with vitamin A and vitamin C.
