Abstract: Hygiene is one of the main factors involved in leading a better and healthier lifestyle. Hygiene is directly or indirectly influenced by hands’ sanitization. Hands are the foremost route of transmission of infections, so maintaining hand hygiene is very important. In this study, an economically viable antibacterial gel was made using Aloe Vera in combination with aqueous extract of Mentha spicata (spear mint), which is an herb that has wide range of applications in therapeutics like anti-ulcer, wound healing and anti-bacterial properties. The extract of the plant was obtained by drying followed by crushing and extraction using methanol. The water content of the gel was analyzed for maintaining the gel consistency. The minimum inhibition concentration of the extract on E. coli was studied. The antibacterial activity of the gel was studied by introducing E. coli in nutrient agar incorporated with gel. The efficiency of the gel to suppress the growth of E. coli was studied by performing spread plate on media with gel and disc diffusion method. Corresponding positive (Dettol sanitizer) and negative controls were introduced to compare the gel efficiency. A light green colored gel was obtained with bactericidal property. In the study, number of colonies formed in the presence of antibacterial gel was less when compared to the gel without the herbal extract. The zone of inhibition of bacterial growth was compared with commercially available antibiotics and sanitizers. In conclusion, the combination of the aqueous extract of Mentha spicata and Aloe Vera can actively work against microbial infections and can have wide range of applications in personal hygiene.
