In the present study, the physical parameters like melting point, density and refractive index of both the oils were compared. The chemical parameters of the oils like fatty acid content, iodine number and saponification value were also compared. The antimicrobial activities of the oils extracted were compared by performing agar well-diffusion method against two Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria namely, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacilus subtilis and two Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria namely, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa", issn = "23191473", journal = "IJAIR", keywords = "Physico-Chemical Parameters;Plectranthus;Agar Well-Diffusion Method;Gram-Positive;Gram-Negative", month = "March", number = "5", pages = "225-231", title = "{A} {C}omparative {S}tudy of {P}hysico-{C}hemical {P}arameters and {A}nti-{M}icrobial {A}ctivities of {O}ils {E}xtracted from {L}eaves of {P}lectranthus {A}mboinicus and {P}lectranthus {R}otundifolius", volume = "6", year = "2018", }
