The spices included turmeric (Curcuma longa), clove (Syzygium aromaticum), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) and black pepper (Piper nigrum). The extracts showed presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins and terpenoids in different quantities. The ethanolic extract of clove and black pepper showed antibacterial activity against all five test human pathogenic bacteria. ethanolic extract of cinnamon produced higher size of inhibitory zone against Bacillus cereus ATCC 10876 in comparison to positive control; amplicillin.
