Abstract
 

Annona squamosa are important medicinal plants in Malaysia which have been used in traditional medicine. The purpose of the study was to determine antibacterial and antioxidant activities of protein extracted of the seeds of A. squamosa. Well diffusion assay, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were used to test antibacterial activity against four pathogenic bacteria namely Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). DPPH assay and Superoxide dismutase activity SOD assay used to antioxidant activity. Protein extracts from A. squamosa have antibacterial and antioxidant activities. It could be concluded that the protein extracted of this plant had a good antibacterial and antioxidant effects. The results suggest that these plants can be a new source of antimicrobials against pathogenic bacteria.
