In our present studies we identify the components of essential oil, crude extracts and fraction of Illicium verum, and evaluation of antibacterial activity. We isolated and identified as 3, 4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (protocatechuic acid) through spectroscopic studies and comparison with the data of the authentic sample [1]. The phase MEA itself was emerged as the active fraction comprising antibacterial, antioxidant and nematocidal constituents, including 3, 4-dihydroxybenzoic acid which also possessed antibacterial, Superb antioxidant and nematocidal activities [1].
