Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of fatty acid methyl ester of Quercus leucotrichophora fruits

Abstract: Natural fats and dietary oils are chief source of fatty acids and are well known to have antimicrobial activities against various microbes. The chemical composition and antimicrobial activities of fatty acids from fruits of white Oak (Quercus leucotrichophora) are yet unexplored and therefore the present study for the first time determines the fatty acid composition, and the antibacterial and antifungal activities of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) of the white Oak plant found along the Himalayan region of Utt… Show more

“…The volatile extract of QLB exhibited a potential antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus pyogenes, compared to Streptococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli [14]. The antibacterial activity of the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) extract of QL fruits was recorded against four bacterial stains namely; Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli from a range of 7.8 to 15.9 mm [15]. The extract of FAME showed dissimilar activity against different bacterial strains due to the chemical nature, antimicrobial agents, and their mode of action on different microorganism [28].…”

“…The fruit extract of QL revealed the presence of higher amount of saturated fatty acid compared to unsaturated fatty acid. The bark and fruit extract of QL possess antimicrobial activity [14,15]. The QL is used in traditional system of medicine, but still there are not many scientific reports to confirm its phytochemical activity and medicinal properties [16].…”

“…The FAMEs were active against E. coli, S. aureus showing 10-16 mm inhibition zone using agar well diffusion method. [18]. The FAME extracts of these plants also had Linoleic acid (C18:2) as one of the major constituents.…”

“…It may as well be used to 3, mono-, di and unsaturated fatty acids in an oil. GC-MS on the other hand can be used to accurately determine the quantities of the individual fatty acids based on retention volumes, retention [18]. The FAME extracts of these plants also had Linoleic acid (C18:2) as one of the major constituents.…”

“…Lipid extraction from plants is usually carried out with organic solvents of different polarities (mainly n-hexane, CHCl 3 , CH 2 Cl 2 , EtOAc, EtOH, BuOH, MeOH, and their mixtures) ( Table 1). Liquid/liquid extractions or Soxhlet extraction are commonly performed to obtain total lipid extracts [54][55][56][57][58]. Instead of analyzing one lipid class or one lipid molecule, some studies have analyzed the total lipid extracts that were obtained by sequential extraction.…”
