Apple peel are the potential source of polyphenols, apple of Himachal variety was subjected to extract polyphenols by using microwave assisted technique and solvent extraction (SE) technique using methanol, ethanol, acetone and water as solvents. The extract obtained from the MAE showed the antimicrobial and antifungal activity against pathogenic bacteria strain named lessThan i greaterThan Staphylococcus aureus lessThan /i greaterThan , lessThan i greaterThan E. coli lessThan /i greaterThan and lessThan i greaterThan Salmonella lessThan /i greaterThan spp. Moreover apple peel also showed the potentiality to check the growth of lessThan i greaterThan Fusarium verticillioides, Aspergillus niger and Penecillium spp. lessThan /i greaterThan HARI SHANKAR JOSHI AND ARVIND Apple Peel, Microwave Assisted Extraction, Antibacterial activity, Antifungal Activity 138-145
