The antioxidant properties were evaluated through the ability of the extract to scavenge DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl) radicals and the reducing power essay, the antimicrobial activity was tested with three bacterial strain and three fungi including yeast (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 13311, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923, Aspergillus niger 2CA936, Aspergillus flavius NRRL3357 and Candida albicans ATCC1024) and the anti-inflammatory activity, evaluated with proteins denaturation test. The results indicate a moderate to weak antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities but a strong antifungal capacities.
