Antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of essential oils from Murraya koenigii commonly known as curry leaf oil and Cinnamon cassia cinnamon bark oil were determined. These essential oils were taken at concentrations of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3%. Antimicrobial activity was tested for both the oils were tested against 6 microbial strains of two gram positive, 2 gram negative and one yeast and mold. The antioxidant activity of the essential oils was determined by measuring in terms of ascorbic acid equivalent (µg/mL). Also GCMS analysis was done to check the chemical constituents present. On the basis of evaluation, it was concluded that cinnamon bark oil had more potential against microbial strains and exhibited more antioxidative property followed by that curry leaf oil.
