Mr. Addah M. Wenamine from the Department of Applied Chemistry, School of Chemical and Biochemical Sciences conducted his M.Phil. thesis with the title “Verification of Anti-Typhoidal Activities of Phyllanthus Fratenus, Allium Sativum and Carica Papaya Leaves, and Effects of Preservatives” under the supervision of Prof. Samson A. Abagale.
In this work, anti-typhoidal extracts were prepared. Their antimicrobial activities are determined with and without preservatives. The specific objectives were to: identify phytochemicals present in the leaf extracts of the samples; determine potencies of the separate and combined extracts with and without preservatives on S. typhi; and determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) of the separate and combined extracts.
For the award, Mr. Addah M. Wenawime received a sponsorship to participate in the 20th annual conference of the Ghana Chemical Society which was held at the University of Cape Coast from 15th -18th, May 2024 under the theme “Chemistry Making the World a Better Place”.
The Most Promising Thesis Award was instituted by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies and Research, Prof. Melvin Guy Adonadaga as part of his vision to achieve a significant level of visibility for the School of Graduate Studies of the University and also serve as motivation for students to conduct impactful research.
