Abstract

This Study was done to investigate the phytochemical and antimicrobial activities of pumpkin flowers extracts (ethanolic, chloroform and ether extract -by using GC-MS methods to degrade the active components in the ethanol extracted flowers.Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth was inhibited only by chloroform fraction; ether fraction has activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aereus.Chloroform has no activity against Staphylococcus aereus.Nine constituents were degraded by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrophotometry (GC-MS) analysis.Their structure and formulae were pertaining to the GC-MS analysis of pumpkin flowers were given in table and Figure 2.
