Chemical Composition of Trigonella foenum-graecum Seeds and Inhibitory Activity of Their Seeds Oil Against Some Microbes

Abstract

The study aimed to know the chemical composition of fenugreek seeds and test the inhibitory effectiveness of the extracts of the seed oil on the types of bacteria and yeast. The results of the chemical analysis of the circuit showed that the moisture content of 4.90%, fiber 6.55%, ash 3.35%, protein 27.50%, fat 4.50%, and carbohydrates 42.26%. The physiochemical properties of fenugreek seed oil were similar to edible oil. Plant extracts were obtained by extracting oil with hexane at concentrations 40, 80 and 100%. The inhibitory activity was tested against the experimental cells that included the Gram negative: Escherichia coli O157: H7s, Samonella. typhimurium ,. Gram positive: Staphylococcus aureus Aspergillus niger. Antibody activity was highly effective against living organisms, specially against E.Coli at which the aortic diameter reached the highest concentration (100%) 21 mm.
