were determined. Ethanol, methanol and dichloromethane extracts of the fruit
part of plant were obtained. Antioxidant potential was determined with TAS and
TOS kits using ethanol extracts. Antibacterial and antifungal activity were
determined using agar dilution method. Antibacterial activity was determined
