Indian journal of pharmaceutical sciencesSummary: This study aims to determine the chemical and physical composition and antibacterial activity of
glasswort. Soxhlet extraction of Salicornia europaea was performed using hexane and analyzed by
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Alpha-tocopherol content was analysed by using liquid
chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. The elemental analysis was investigated by inductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The crystallographic texture and composition of powder samples were
determined by X-ray diffraction. The minimum inhibition concentrations and inhibition zones extracts of
Salicornia europaeawere performed by spectrophotometric broth microdilution and disc diffusion methods,
respectively, against 4 bacteria ( Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumonia , Bacillus subtilis , Staphylococcus
aureus) and 2 fungi (Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis). Alpha-tocopherol quantity and oil content of
Salicornia europaea were found to be 2.1±0.3 mg/100 g and 15.15 %, respectively. The detected minerals
were also found as sodium 447, magnesium 51.98, K 45.86, Ca 14.27 ppm. The highest minimum inhibition
concentration was 0.9 mg/ml against Escherichia coli in methanol extract (p ˂0.05). The highest mean
inhibition zones diameter was 3.8 mm for methanol extracts against Bacillus subtilis (p˂0.05). As a result,
the extract and oil of Salicornia europaea can be used as potential bioactive and antimicrobial agents for
pharmaceutical and cosmetics applications
