Abstract

Eucalyptus Camaldulensis and Myrtus Communis leaf were extracting with ethanol. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) blend film loaded with Eucalyptus Camaldulensis and Myrtus Communis crude was studied. Both Eucalyptus Camaldulensis and Myrtus Communis extracts were investigated via FTIR, phytochemical and antioxidant activity. Poly (vinyl alcohol) PVA/ Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)PVP blend film was investigated via FTIR, Film was studied via SEM before and after loading. Both Eucalyptus Camaldulensis and Myrtus Communis extracts show antioxidant activity and richness with phytochemical materials. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) /Poly(vinylpyrrolidone)(PVP)loaded with 10%(w/v) Eucalyptus Camaldulensis extract shows a highest antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus,  Escherichia coli and Candida albicans compering to films loaded with Myrtus Communis extract.
