ABSTRACT
Phalaris canariensis seed extracts are used to assess their antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. Extracts are made through polarity decreasing order od solvents where aqueous, ethanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform, cyclohexane and pet ether were used. After comparing with the standard Ciprofloxacin we found that Aqueous extracts of canary seeds gave the highest activity against all the experimented microbes that was 22, 16, 12 mm of ZI (zone of inhibition) against E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus. After performing the DPPH assay seed extracts of canary has a
good apability of inhibiting free radicals.
Keywords: Phalaris canariensis, Antioxident, Antimicrobial Activity, E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, DPPH.
