SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF GELATINE AND PVA COMPOSITE FILM WITH ANTIMICROBIAL ACTION Authors: Ahuja S , PATEL V AND TAILOR K
ABSTRACT
The antimicrobial activity of the different leaf extracts of mint, also known as mentha, against
one human pathogens Escherichia coli, of dried leaf of mint were tasted against three human
pathogens strains such as Escherichia coli, candida albinos through the well diffusion and the
poison plate method. The antimicrobial potential of mint leaf extract against E.coli showing
best result. The mint objective of this investigation is to develop GELATIN AND
POLYVINAYL ALCOHOL composite film. These GELATIN AND POLYVINAYL
ALCOHOL composite film have good potential to be used as delivery vehicle for protein
drugs. It is also used in packaging system and medicinal usage.
