Abstract
The seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. contain various biochemical components such as saponin, terpenoids, phenolic compounds, glycosides, flavonoids and steroids etc. The different concentrations of seed extracts of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (varieties PEB and Prabha) were screened for their antifungal activity against six fungal species such as Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium moniliforme. The results revealed that seed extracts of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. showed significant antifungal activity against fungal species by dry mycelial weight method and poisoned food technique and it may be due to the presence of active biochemical components. The antifungal activity of fenugreek seeds followed the order: Fenugreek variety PEB > variety Prabha.
