Abstract
Plants contain many natural compounds that have antimicrobial and
antioxidant activity. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in natural
antimicrobials, especially those derived from plants. The growing resistance of
pathogenic microorganisms to antibiotics leads to the search for potential alternatives
– plant extracts. Plant extracts seem to be a promising solution to the problem
of increasing resistance to microorganisms, and can also provide antioxidant protection
for agro-food safety.
One of the most promising and interesting plants is the black nightshade (Solanum
nigrum L.). Studies have been conducted to identify the antioxidant and
antimicrobial activity of this plant. The results revealed a high antioxidant capacity
of the black nightshade leaves, and also showed an antimicrobial effect against
some microorganism.
