A Study on Phytochemical, Elemental Analysis and Antimicrobial Activity of Leaves of Mentha arvensis Linn Thida Kyaw Pa Pa San Khin Htwe Kyaing Mentha arvensis Linn. leaves have been given to treat indigestion, skin diseases, coughs, rheumatic pains, arthritis and as remedy for inflamed joints. Above the pros, this research definitely was done. It deals with the study of phytochemical constituents, elemental analysis and antimicrobial activity of leaves of Mentha arvensis Linn. (Pudina). It is usually consumed as a vegetable. The phytochemical investigation of pudina indicated the presence of alkaloids, α-amino acid, flavonoids, glycosides, phenolic compounds, reducing sugar, saponins tannins and steroids whereas starch, organic acids and terpenoids were not detected. The qualitative elemental analysis showed that K, Ca, S, P, Fe, Mn, Ti, Zn, Cu, Rb and Br were present in sample by using EDXRF spectrophotometer. Antimicrobial activity was studied by agar well diffusion method against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans and Escherichia coli. Water extract did not show activity on all species of microorganisms. Ethanol extract of pudina leaves showed higher antimicrobial activity against than other extracts by tested organisms. 2019 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000000449 https://meral.edu.mm/records/449
