Abstract
In the present study, the analysis of four honey samples viz., one natural honey and three commercial honey were characterised by UV-VIS and FT-IR. From the Spectroscopic results, the natural honey showed good absorbance value. Therefore, this honey were evaluated against pathogenic bacteria (E.coli and B.subtilis) and an opportunistic yeast pathogen (C.albicans) for the antimicrobial activity by Resazurin microtitre assay. It was then assessed for antioxidant activity by DPPH assay. The natural honey exhibited both antimicrobial and antioxidant activity
