Abstract

In these last decades, recent pharmacopeia was focused on the search of bioactive molecules, which were extracted from medicinal plants. In this study, our choice related to Moroccan variety Feijoa sellowiana (F. sellowiana). Because, this variety had not been scientifically evaluated yet. Meanwhile, its fruits were ignored by moroccan population, which could economically constitute an exploitable source. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the microbial activities of F. sellowiana. Extraction was carried out by successive exhaustion of plant materials, by using two organic solvents, hexane and acetone. Therefore, the separation of each extract was done using chromatography on column. Thereafter, the screening of secondary metabolites were done by the method of screening. According to the different results obtained during this study. All extracts have showed the presence of secondary metabolites such as saponosids, tannins, steroids and terpens. Thus, they showed antimicrobial activities except acetone extract of fruits, almost all fractions revealed as inactives on Candida albicans. However, more studies are needed to valorize the moroccan variety F. sellowiana and could be used to overcome the microbial aggressions.
