Abstract:
Cerbera odollam’s tree parts were extracted with methanol and further fractionated using n -hexane, ethyl acetate and ethanol, followed by antibacterial assay against Bacillus subtilis , Bacillus licheniformis , Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Hexane soluble parts from flower, fruit, leaf, wood, bark and ethyl acetate soluble part from bark showed antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis . Hexane soluble parts from leaf and bark and ethyl acetate soluble parts from wood showed antibacterial activity against Bacillus licheniformis . All fractions appeared ineffective on Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Screened extracts were analysed using FTIR. Experiments were continued with impregnation of methanolic extracts of Cerbera odollam into Melamine-urea formaldehyde (MUF) particleboards, Phenol-resorcinol formaldehyde (PRF) particleboards and solid wood samples followed by exposure to wood-boring beetles and natural decaying.
