<title><b>Evaluation of antifungal activity of </b><b>citrus grandis</b> <b>Essential </b> <b>oil and chemical composition</b></title>
<abstract>The fungi have an important role in the environment. They cause the infections when grow on human. There is urgent need to get a new therapeutics or remedies from nature to inhibit the growth of pathogenic fungi. In the present study, the chemical composition of  lessThan i greaterThan Citrus  lessThan /i greaterThan  lessThan i greaterThan grandis  lessThan /i greaterThan volatile oil and anti-dermatophytic activity was evaluated against isolated dermatophytic species. The Clear pale yellowish color with fresh and sweet aroma oil was extracted from the leaves of  lessThan i greaterThan Citrus grandis  lessThan /i greaterThan that revealed the presence of 39 volatile components. The oil has revealed excellent inhibition activity against test organisms with presence of Maximum Inhibition Zone of 14.33 mm for  lessThan i greaterThan Microsporum gypsium  lessThan /i greaterThan as well as 14 mm against  lessThan i greaterThan T lessThan /i greaterThan  lessThan i greaterThan richophyton  lessThan /i greaterThan  lessThan i greaterThan mentagrophytes lessThan /i greaterThan  (KU578106) as compared to standard. The present study detailed to chemical composition of  lessThan i greaterThan Citrus  lessThan /i greaterThan  lessThan i greaterThan grandis  lessThan /i greaterThan volatile oil with the confirmative presence of phenol components. The data also prove the anti-dermatophytic potential against  lessThan i greaterThan Microsporum lessThan /i greaterThan  and  lessThan i greaterThan Trichophyton  lessThan /i greaterThan species. The data also represent the further requirements for to investigate the various pharmacological behaviors to its commercialization for the advantage of human beings.</abstract>
