| Abstract | ||
| An oil extract from fruits of red pepper Capsicum annuum L. was isolated and identified using several techniques such as: a thin layer chromatography, ultraviolet, visible, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT. IR.) and some of colour reagents . The antimicrobial activity of the oil extract was determined against types of reference strains of bacteria : which are ( Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 6571, Escherichia coli NCTC 5933, Pseudomonas aeruginosa NTCC 6750, and Klebsiella pneumoniae ). The results indicate that the oil extract from the fruits of red pepper Capsicum annuum has varying degrees of inhibiting the test organisms. | ||
