There is a lack of the antimicrobial and antioxidant studies on underutilized fruits. Therefore, this study was carried out to examine the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the methanolic extracts of seven underutilized fruits namely Sonneratia caseolaris, Phyllanthus acidus, Averrhoa bilimbi, Spondias dulcis, Cynometra cauliflora, Barrington racemosa and Syzygium malaccense.
