ABSTRACT
The present study was designed to provide data on the constituents and antimicrobial activity of of Deterium microcarpum oil. Thirty six components were detected by GC-MS analysis. Detarium microcarpum oil was dominated by fatty acids(65.11%). Other constituents include: alcohols (8.35%), aldehydes (8.14%), hydrocarbons (6.12%), heterocycles(3.05) and ketones(0.54%).Major components of the oil are: (i) oleic Acid (9-octadecenoic acid ) - (21.44%) ii)9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester(12.79%) and iii) 9,12-octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-, methyl ester(11.38%).The oil has been screened for antimicrobial activity against : (Gram positive: Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtitis; Gram negative: Escherichs coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the fungal species Candida albicans.
