Abstract
The essential oil from the leaves of C. swietenia has been oxidized using Hydrogen peroxide and studied for antifungal efficacy against thirteen fungi viz. Aspergillus oryzae, A.terreus, A.niger, Curvularia prasadii, Rhizopus nodosus Candida albicans etc. The oxidized essential oil was found effective against all fungi but found more effective against Aspergillus oryzae, A.terreus, Curvularia prasadii, Candida albicans and Trichoderma viridi.
