The first step of our experiments was to assess the effects of the
GSEJ and GSEW extracts on the bacteria implicated in alimentary
pathologies. Fig. 1 and 2 summarized the results obtained from
these experiments. As it can be observed from these figures, both
GSEJ and GSEW extracts exhibited antibacterial action against all
bacteria tested, being more effectives against Gram-positive
bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria. From these figures, we
observed that no inhibitionwas produced in control samples (0 % of
inhibition), while for all seed extracts the inhibitionwas nearly 100
% for 100 and 50 mL mL1 seed extracts dilutions. These results
agree with other studies that have shown that the inhibitory effects
of phenolic compounds from natural extracts are more potent to
Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative
