his research investigates the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of three essential oils (EO): Aegle marmelos, Aristolochia indica, and Piper nigrum roots. The antimicrobial effectiveness of the EOs was demonstrated against four bacteria and a fungus strains. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated by measuring the size of the inhibition zone, as well as determining the minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration. Upon analyzing the inhibition zone diameters, we noted an increased effectiveness of A. indica, which displayed the highest values across all microbial species tested. Antifungal activity of essential oil was tested against the selected C. albicans. A. marmelos, A. indica, and P. nigrum essential oils showed 11 mm, 12 mm and 12 mm zone of inhibition against C. albicans. A. indica essential oil showed maximum activity against E. coli (15 mm zone of inhibition) than P. nigrum essential oil (18 mm zone of inhibition), and A. marmelos essential oil (16 mm zone of inhibition). The minimum inhibitory concentration of essential oils were determined against various bacterial pathogens. Essential oil was highly active against Streptococcus sp. and E. coli than K. pneumoniae and S. aureus.
