Abstract

This study is planned to identify and quantify the constituents of oil from Sudanese Dodonaea  viscosa   and to evaluate the  antimicrobial activity of the extracted fixed oil . GC- MS analysis of the  oil revealed the presence of : 9,12-octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-, methyl ester (38.60%);  hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (14.88%); 9-octadecenoic acid (Z)-, methyl ester (17.81%); methyl stearate (11.06%); beside other minor constituents. In cup plate agar diffusion assay, the oil was screened for antimicrobial activity against five standard human pathogens. Moderate activity was observed against the Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis.
