Title: Antibacterial effect of phenolic extract of olive tree on some pathogenic bacteria

Abstract:

Phenolic metabolites (polyphenols) exhibit a series of biological properties that promotes human health. Olive tree (Olea europaea) can confer significant benefits to the human health, which motivated us to undertake the present study on its main benefits molecules (polyphenols) especially of other olive parts that are less used in humain therapy, since there are numerous findings about olive oil. The main objectiv of the present study was to valorize some parts of  olive to evaluate  their antibacterial effect in order to contribute to the development of an understanding of nutritional and clinical use. For this,  total polyphenols were extracted from two  algerian olive varieties (O. europaea); Chemlal and Sigoise using methanol. The polyphenol content was  0.17 ± 0.0006 and 0.05 ± 0.0031 μg / ml for the pulp  and 0.0015 ± 0.12 and 0.08 ± 0,001μg / ml for the core respectively for the two varieties. Olive leaves had  0.08 ± 0.001 mg / ml of polyphenols. Leaves ethyl acetate extracts have shown  high phenolic content (0.139 ± 0.011 μg / ml). Higher amounts (0.10 ± 0.001and 0.11 ± 0.0032 μg / ml) were registred for  pulp and core respectively of the variety Sigoise. Antibacterial tests showed significant results  represented by inhibition areas of 22 mm ± 1.41 for Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella enteritidis and only 8.5 mm ± 0.71 for Listeria monocytogenes. No  effect was observed  for  Escherichia coli.  According to the results of this study, olive parts, especially leaves  can be considered as a good source of antimicrobial agents that can be provided with a very low price and then can be used in medicine. For that, it is very interesting to continue valorizing other varieties of olive as described in the present study or for the other uses

Audience Take Away Notes :

  • It is very interesting to try all parts of plat for molecules extraction to show whish kind and part of plant used.
  • This research could help for other studies. It has provided information that all the plant can be used in all its parts

Biography:
