Since dangerous bacteria are naturally present in the environment, humans can easily be exposed to them. These microorganisms can withstand extreme settings and are resistant to conventional pasteurisation. Therefore, new environmentally friendly methods are required to prevent the growth of dangerous microorganisms and extend shelf life. Numerous academics have recently become interested in the potential use of specific plant extracts as effective natural preservatives. Some of the phytochemicals found in medicinal plants that have antibacterial and antioxidant properties include alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins & terpenoids. Numerous plant species have undergone substantial research to determine their antibacterial capacities. Making the most of these extracts as organic antimicrobials requires an understanding of the mechanisms of action of the medicinal plants found in the Nilgiri Bio Reserve.
