Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect In the antimicrobial test, the largest zones of inhibition against K. pneumoniae, M. luteus and B. subtilis were obtained with the 5 mg/10 mL concentration of the defatted Jatropha curcas seed extract.
- Intervention effect The 1 mg/10 mL concentration of the Jatropha curcas seed extract was the most effective against S. aureus and E. coli.
- Intervention effect In the DPPH radical scavenging assay the 5 mg/10 mL concentration of the Jatropha seed extract showed the strongest activity.
- Intervention effect Higher concentrations of the Jatropha seed extract had negative effects on radish seedling relative water content, shoot length and root length (p<0.05).
- Intervention effect Higher concentrations of the Jatropha seed extract had negative effects on radish seedling fresh weight and dry weight (p<0.05).
- Observation Phytochemical analysis of the defatted seeds detected alkaloids at 7.3%.
- Observation Phytochemical analysis of the defatted seeds detected flavonoids at 0.39%.
- Observation Phytochemical analysis of the defatted seeds detected soluble phenolics, reported as mg gallic acid equivalents per g extract.
- Recommendation The authors infer that J. curcas seeds contain active ingredients effective against pathogenic microbes and could be used to formulate drugs to treat various diseases.
