Abstract

The present study was undertaken to investigate the chemical constituents of Sorghum sudanese seed oil and to assess its antimicrobial activity. 25 components were detected by GC-MS analysis. Major constituents are: 9,12-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester(40.52%) ; 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester (33.60%), hexadecanoic acid methyl ester(17.99%) . The oil was evaluated for antimicrobial activity against : (Gram positive: Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis; Gram negative : Escherichia coli and Pseudomonasa aeruginosa and the fungus Candida albicans) . The oil showed excellent activity against all test organisms and specially against Bacillus subtilis at a concentration of 100mg/ml. At all test concentrations the oil gave significant activity against Bacillus subtilis . Excellent antifungal activity against Candida albicans was demonstrated at concentrations of 100,50 and 25 mg/ml. It seems that the oil is a lead for a potent antimicrobial agent.
