Abstract

The present study was designed to investigate the chemical constituents of Capsicum annum seed oil and to evaluate its potential antimicrobial activity. 27 components were detected by GC-MS analysis. Major constituents are: 9,12-octadecadienoic acid(56.57%) , , hexadecanoic acid(17.60%), 9-octadecenoic acid (5.62%) , methyl stearate(5.50%) and stigmasterol(2.37%) . Butylated hydroxytoluene, a potent antioxidant, was detected as a minor constituent(0.22%). The antibacterial activity of the oil was evaluated via cup plate agar diffusion assay against six standard human pathogens(Gram positive: Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis; Gram negative : Escherichia coli and Pseudomonasa aeruginosa and the fungi Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) . The oil showed different antimicrobial responses against test organisms. It was partially active against the fungus Candida albicans but significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus was observed.
