Abstract
The present study investigated the phytochemical composition, chemical constituents, photosynthetic pigments, bioactive compounds, and antimicrobial activity of extracts derived from Organium and Geranium plant waste. The results revealed significant differences in the biological and chemical properties of these two species, highlighting their unique phytochemical potentials and possible applications in food, pharmaceutical, and environmental industries. The analysis of Organium and Geranium waste extracts reveals that both contain beneficial phytochemicals such as terpenes, saponins, glycosides, carbohydrates, reducing sugars, and alkaloids, though Geranium uniquely contains flavonoids while Organium is richer in phenolics and tannins. Organium has higher sugar content, chlorophyll A, carotene, and total phenols, indicating strong antioxidant potential, whereas Geranium is higher in fiber, nitrogen, chlorophyll B, flavonoids, and alkaloids, suggesting potential anti-inflammatory benefits. Both extracts showed minimal antimicrobial activity, with only slight inhibition observed against certain bacteria. Overall, Organium may be more suitable for antioxidant and fermentative applications, while Geranium offers promise for use in functional foods or nutraceuticals due to its flavonoid content.
