ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to exhibit the quantitative analysis of the phytochemicals extracted from cloves of Allium sativum i.e., garlic and leaves of Artocarpus heterophyllus i.e., jackfruit. The extraction of these phytochemicals was done using the organic solvents such as ethanol, ethyl acetate and acetone using a Soxhlet apparatus. Few of the bioactive compounds like protein, phenol, carbohydrates, tannin, flavonoids and alkaloids were analysed for their total content in the extracted phytochemicals using UV spectrophotometer. Along with the quantitative estimation the antibacterial and antifungal activity of these extracted phytochemicals were checked against E. coli, S. aureus, Bacillus subtilis and fungal strains of Aspergillus niger and Fusarium species using the well diffusion method. Acetone extracts were proven effective against both bacterial and fungal isolates.
