Phytochemical analysis, GC-MS profile and determination of antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activities of peel and seeds extracts (chloroform and ethyl acetate) of Tamarindus indica L.

Tamarind seeds and peel extracts contained terpenoids, phenolic content, and flavonoids. Chloroform peel extract showed anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, while ethyl acetate seed extract inhibited fungal growth. GC-MS analysis revealed beneficial compounds. Seeds extracts were more effective.
