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. Keywords: Osmium Sanctum, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas, Polyvinyl alcohol, Microcrystalline cellulose, Starch, Mechanical properties
