In the present study, proteins were extracted and purified from germinated seeds viz. Vigna radiata (mung bean), Cicer arietinum (gram white and gram black). The protein extracted was evaluated for any antimicrobial effects against the different pathogens and to determine antioxidant potential. The studies were performed to assess the effect of pH, temperature and proteolytic enzymes on the antimicrobial nature of the protein extracted. It was found that the extracted antimicrobial protein had prominent antimicrobial effect on the different microbial pathogens at the range of pH 4-7. The studies also showed the strong antioxidant potential of the different seeds protein isolated and purified. It was also observed that the temperature from 25ºC-30ºC has no adverse effect on the antimicrobial action of the proteins extracted. The results of the present study thus help to explore and formulate the potent antimicrobial agent against different variety of pathogens and to formulate strong antioxidant agent.
