Project Name : Anti-Bacterial Properties of Piper Betel (PAAN): A forgotten Boon
Theme Name : Health
The objective of our exhibit is to investigate the anti-bacterial activities of Piper betel (PAAN) extracts obtained from different solvents i.e. hexane and ethanol, against two bacterial streams namely – Bacillus subtilis and bnterbacteraero genes. These are gram (-ve) and gram (-ve) respectively. To identify the particular antibacterial compound in the leaf, we performed thin layer chromatography (TLC) and recorded the RF values.
After performing the experiments, we conclude that piper betel leaves can be used as an effective alternative for anti-biotic (which has no side effects).
