Abstract: (139 Views)
Cyperus Rotundus L plant is a monocotyledonous weed from the Lyperaceae family. Cyperus Rotundus L of tuber is a home remedy for indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea, bitter, astringent, sedative, carminative, diuretic, anthelmintic, menstruate and nerve tonic. In this study, for the first time, the flower of Cyperus Rotundus L plant was extracted by two methods of maceration and ultrasound with distilled water and ethanol solvents and at times of 15 and 30 minutes. Also, the antibacterial activity was evaluated by determining the diameter of growth inhibition zone, the minimum growth inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and the amount of minerals in the flower extract. The results were reported that the difference between the extraction yield of both methods is insignificant, but the ultrasonic method is more optimal than maceration due to the reduction of the extraction time. Among the amounts of minerals, the highest amount was obtained for potassium and the lowest amount for copper, molybdenum and selenium. The results of investigating the antibacterial property of flower extract compared to antibiotics show that the inhibitory effect of antibiotics on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria is more.
