The purpose of this investigation was to examine the antibacterial activity of oil derived from Ailanthus excelsa (Roxb) as well as the chemical composition of seed oil and the proximate analysis of oil cake. The oil content of the seeds is ∼ 17%. The seed oil was analyzed using GC-MS/FID, and the results showed that it contained a variety of fatty acids, such as linoleic acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid. When employed with 100 µL, the oil did not demonstrate any antibacterial activity against the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacillus subtilis. The oil does not possess any antifungal action against Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus. The oil cake is rich in protein and minerals. These findings imply that A. excelsa seed oil and oil cake have the potential to be used in the food and pharmaceutical industries after ascertaining its non-toxic nature and absence of antinutrients. The oil is not having antibacterial activity hence it can be used as a part of nutrient media for bacterial cultures.
Résumé
Le but de cette étude était d’examiner l’activité antibactérienne de l’huile issue d’Ailanthus excelsa (Roxb) ainsi que la composition chimique de l’huile de graines et l’analyse du tourteau. La teneur en huile des graines est d’environ 17 %. L’huile a été analysée par GC-MS/FID et les résultats ont montré qu’elle contient une palette d’acides gras, dont l’acide linoléique, l’acide oléique et l’acide palmitique. À la dose de 100 µL, l’huile n’a démontré aucune activité antibactérienne contre les bactéries Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa et Bacillus subtilis. L’huile ne possède aucune action antifongique contre Candida albicans et Aspergillus flavus. Le tourteau est riche en protéines et en minéraux. Ces résultats impliquent que l’huile et le tourteau d’A. excelsa ont le potentiel d’être utilisés dans les industries alimentaires et pharmaceutiques après avoir vérifié leur nature non toxique et l’absence de composés anti-nutritionnels. L’huile n’a pas d’activité antibactérienne et peut donc être utilisée comme milieu nutritif pour les cultures bactériennes.
