PHARMACOGNOSTIC AND ANTIMICROBIAL EVALUATION OF HORDEUM VULGARE LEAVES
AbstractHordeum vulgare (Barley) grass is the best functional food for providing nutrition and eliminating toxins from human cells; however, its functional ingredients have also played an important role in health benefits. Flavonoids, saponarin, lutonarin, K, Ca, Se, dietary fiber, polysaccharide, alkaloid, glycoside, tannin, metallothionein and polyphenols are all found in barley grass. Microscopical studies showed that stomata, epidermal cells and trichomes were conducted as part of a pharmacognostic investigation of the grass of H. vulgare. The qualitative assays were done to predict the presence of phenols, tannin and flavonoid content. The Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method was used to screen H. vulgare leaf extract for antimicrobial potential against S. typhi, S. aureus, B. subtilis and E. coli and chloramphenicol was used as a standard. Amongst all the extracts, the chloroform extract of H. vulgare was found to be more effective as its MIC value is almost equal to the standard antibiotic chloramphenicol.
