Shubham Yadav; Er. Ritesh Jaiswal; and Dr. Sarika Shrivastava, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, on Jan. 31, for 'natural flower extract-based antimicrobial compositions and methods for their preparation and use.'

Inventor(s) include Mr. Allen Denis; Mr. Amit Kumar Singh; Mr. Badal Singh Yadav; Ms. Kajal Kushwaha; Ms. Siddhi Mani Tripathi; Er. Shubham Yadav; Er. Ritesh Jaiswal; and Dr. Sarika Shrivastava.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to natural antimicrobial compositions derived from floral extracts and methods for their preparation and evaluation. Fresh flowers are collected, cleaned, dried, and processed into powdered form, followed by extraction using ethanol through maceration or Soxhlet extraction techniques. The obtained extracts are concentrated and subjected to antimicrobial screening against selected bacterial and fungal strains using agar well diffusion, disc diffusion, broth inoculation, and minimum inhibitory concentration assays. Comparative analysis is performed to evaluate the relative antimicrobial efficacy of different flower extracts. Bioactive compounds responsible for antimicrobial activity are identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. The invention provides a standardized framework for extraction, evaluation, and phytochemical characterization of flower-based antimicrobial agents. The disclosed compositions demonstrate broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activity and may be utilized as natural alternatives to synthetic antimicrobial agents in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food preservation, and healthcare applications."
