However, antibacterial activity against gram positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus was respected MIC=8 and antifungal activity against alternaria fungus was MIC=16 clearly noticed. Morever, antioxidant activity was determined with DPPH oil through which obtained results was antioxidant activity of oil (IC50 = 2.73 ± 0.172) recorded. Apart, total phenol reagent with Folin–Ciocalteu and gallic acid was determined with the standard curve and obtained results of total phenol of IC50 = 0.072 ±0.027 value was clearly evident.
