Table 3.
Tabular representation of zone of inhibition of methanolic extracts of triphala and its constituents. The methanolic extracts (TME, HME, AME, BME) also showed an appreciable zone of inhibition in the plate of P. aeruginosa which was compared with ampicillin. The results obtained in well diffusion assay showing fair antibacterial activity when compared with standard antibiotic.
