Abstract

Method: The aloe-vera juice is collected by peeling the outer layer of skin and pericarp of leaf. The azadirachta indica and lycopersicon esculentum extraction was done by using percolation method and by using methanol and ethanol as solvent. Evaluation of antifungal and antibacterial activity of both extract was carried out by agar well diffusion method against bacteria E. coli, and A. niger. Minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) of the resulted gel was determined by using broth dilution method. Result: The evaluation of antibacterial and antifungal activity of the gel containing aloe vera, azadirachta indica, and lycopersicon esculentum was evaluated by determining of mic using the resulted gel. Conclusion: We conclude that formation of aloe vera, azadirachta indica and lycopersic on esculentum containing gelis effective in antibacterial and antifungal activity.
