The aim of current study was to investigate a wild plant, known by purple milk thistle (Galactites tomentosa), very abundant in El-Kala National Park and the Mediterranean basin. This study was designed to evaluate the antibacterial activity effects of the Galactites tomentosa. The extract was further analyzed by spectrophotometry, to measure the sugars (5,51 ± 0,04 mg/g DM), the proteins (14,86 ± 0,30 g/100g DM), polyphenols (12,24 ± 0,10 GAE mg/g DM), and chlorophyll pigments (1,13 ± 0,20 mg/g FM). This work is considered as an introduction to the valuation of El-Kala National Park (EKNP) plants, for the development of the food and pharmaceutical industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
