Abstract

ABSTRACT
In the present study the antimicrobial activity of Volatile Oils isolated from Traditional Indian Spices, Anethum Graveolens (Umbelliferae), Foeniculum
Vulgare (Umbelliferae) and Coriandrum Sativum (Umbelliferae) were studied. The isolated Volatile Oils in varying concentrations were studied against
Staphylococcus Coagulase, E.Coli, Streptococcus fecaelis and Staphylococcus aureus, by paper disc diffusion method, using Amoxicillin as standard drug.
The results indicated that all the Volatile Oil samples from Anethum Graveolens (Dill), Foeniculum Vulgare (Fennel) and Coriandrum Sativum (Coriender)
has antimicrobial potential and were active against almost all the microorganisms but in a dose dependent manner. Foeniculum Vulgare by far was the most
potent volatile oil showing the highest activity against Staphylococcus Coagulase.
