Inflorescence residues as a natural antimicrobial alternative

Abstract

There are processes that allow the use of forest or garden waste, to obtain compounds with antimicrobial activity. This positively impacts the development of natural alternatives against microbial resistance and allows the revaluation of these residues with their reincorporation into the production chain and generation of added-value products. In this work, the methanolic extract of inflorescences from Jacaranda mimosifolia was obtained, where total phenolic compounds and antimicrobial activity in Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli and Clavibacter spp were evaluated using the Kirby Bauer technique. The extracts of these inflorescences could represent an natural alternative for the generation of bactericidal products
