Abstract:
Honeysuckle and dandelion are widely used in daily life. They are not only commonly used Chinese herbal medicines, but also garden plants with great ornamental features. In this paper, as the antibacterial experiments of 75% ethanol extract of honeysuckle and dandelion were conducted by using two kinds of molds (
Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus) and four kinds of bacteria (
Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Antioxidation experiments were carried out by DPPH method; Anti-UV experiments were performed using a spectrophotometer spectral scan. The final conclusion is that the dandelion extract has higher antibacterial and antioxidant properties than honeysuckle, but the anti-UV in honeysuckle is higher than dandelion.
