Comparative Study of Anti-oxidant and Antibacterial Properties of Methanolic Extracts of Murraya koenigii and Clitoria ternatea Leaf Extracts from Chhattisgarh

Clitoria ternatea is a type of blooming plant, and Murraya koenigii is used to improve the smell of vegetables while they are cooking. Both plants are used for a variety of medical purposes. Several secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and others, are present in both plants, which contribute to their high levels of antioxidant qualities. By measuring the zone of inhibition of the bacterial strains Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, we were able to examine the antibacterial properties of the plants Murraya koenigii and Clitoria ternatea. The antioxidant capabilities of DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) were also determined using standard ascorbic acid, and optical density (OD) was measured using ultraviolet spectroscopy at wavelengths of 515–520 nm. Thus, Murraya koenigii ultimately performs better than Clitoria ternatea in a few chosen parameters.
