        abstract = {The present research study investigates the phytochemical composition and biological activities of phytochemical elemicin isolated from the n-hexane seed extract of Myristica fragrans (nutmeg). GC-MS analysis confirmed the presence of elemicin as a major constituent in Myristica fragrans. The isolated compound was evaluated for antioxidant properties using lipid peroxidation, catalase activity, and DPPH radical scavenging assays, all of which demonstrated dose-dependent activity. Antimicrobial efficacy was assessed through microdilution methods against various bacterial and fungal strains, revealing significant inhibitory effects. These findings highlight the potential of elemicin as a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agent, supporting its further exploration for pharmaceutical and food preservation applications.},
