EXTRACTION OF TULSI CONTAINING ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY AND PREPARATION OF COMPOSITE FILM FROM POLYVINYL ALCOHOL (PVA), MICRORYSTALLINE CELLULOSE, AND STARCH Authors: Ahuja S , SHAH T, PANDA SR AND PANDYA D
ABSTRACT
The Antibacterial Activity of Tulsi (Osmium Sanctum) dried leaf against Escherichia coli and
Pseudomonas was investigated using the Well diffusion method against Escherichia coli and
Pseudomonas. The main purpose of this analysis is to succeed Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA),
Microcrystalline cellulose, and Starch composite film. This Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA),
Microcrystalline cellulose, and Starch film have the good potentiality to be used as a delivery
medium for protein drugs. Polyvinyl alcohol is a multipurpose polymer with excessive
mechanical properties. Cellulose crystals have higher thermal stability while starch crystals have
lower thermal stability compared to cellulose. The films were transparent and it looks smooth on
the surface. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Microcrystalline cellulose, and starch-based composite
films are biodegradable. It contains some other applications such as food packaging, wrappers
for candies, and medicinal capsules.
