Antimicrobial effect of Baccaurea angulata fruit extracts against human pathogenic microorganisms

The research application for drugs and food supplements derived from plants extracts have increased in recent years. Plants extract and their constituents are recognized to be safe, either because of their traditional use without any documented detrimental impact or because of dedicated toxicologic...
