This study aimed to conduct preliminary phytochemical analysis and evaluate the antibacterial activity of C.ternatea against veterinary pathogens. Phytochemical analysis of ethanolic leaf extract revealed notable levels of secondary metabolites like alkaloids, tannins, glycosides, steroids, saponins, flavonoids, and phenols. The antibacterial potential of ethanolic leaf extract was evaluated against veterinary pathogens such as E.coli, Klebsiella, Salmonella and Shigella Sps. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values were determined, indicating bactericidal properties of the extract.

This research investigates the capabilities of C.ternatea flowers as a plentiful source of anthocyanins, which can serve as a natural colorant. The flowers have a compound called ternatin, which gives them their unique and naturally occurring blue colour.
