Abstract

Foeniculum vulgare seed oil was studied by GC-MS. The oil was also assessed for antimicrobial activity. Thirty two components were detected by GC-MS analysis. Main constituents are: 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester(48.54%), 9,12-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester(28.50%), γ-terpinene(4.98%), and β-pinene(3.51%).The antibacterial activity of the oil was evaluated via the diffusion assay against five standard human pathogens(Gram positive: Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis; Gram negative : Escherichia coli and Pseudomonasa aeruginosa and the fungus Candida albicans ) . Foeniculum vulgae oil showed excellent activity against Staphylococcus aureus in the concentration range : 100-25mg/ml. It also exhibited significant activity against the yeast Candida albicans at 100mg/ml..It seems that the oil is a lead for further optimization.
