Abstract

This study involves the extraction of resins from Capsicum anuum var. longum(commonly known as siling haba in the Philippines) using the standard extraction methods of maceration, reflux, and percolation in preparation for their anti-microbial testing. Physical and Chemical Tests of the extract from the fruits of Capsicum anuum var. longum confirmed the presences of resins.
