Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Hibiscus Sabdariffa

The fresh red Roselle plant was obtained; the red calyxes of Hibiscus Sabdariffa were separated from the plant and dried for a week at 25°C. The dried calyxes were ground to powder, kept in a sealed container, and stored in a refrigerator (4°C) until used. Aqueous Roselle calyx extract was prepared by adding 10 gm of the previously prepared powder to 100 ml of boiling water and then heated on a hot stirrer plate for 30 min. To remove the remnants, the mixture was filtered via Whatman No 1 filter paper (Whatman products, Springfield Paper Mill, Maidstone, UK). The water content of the filtered solution was evaporated using an air recirculation oven and then kept at 4°C in the dark until used to determine antibacterial effectiveness \[20\].
