The  in vitro  antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil from  Melaleuca alternifolia (M. alternifolia)  was evaluated in this report. The antioxidant potential of the essential oil from  M. alternifolia  was evaluated by the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method, thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) assay, and the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity method. The essential oil from  M. alternifolia  was able to reduce DPPH with an EC50 (concentration for 50% of maximal effect) of 48.35  μ g/ml, inhibit the lipid peroxidation with an IC50 (50% inhibitory concentration) of 135.9  μ g/ml, and eliminate hydroxyl radicals with an EC50 of 43.71  μ g/ml. Antimicrobial screening, minimum inhibitory concentration, and minimum bactericidal concentration assays showed that the essential oil from  M. alternifolia  inhibited strongly the growth of different types of microorganisms, including  Escherichia coli ,  Staphylococcus aureus ,  Pseudomonas aeruginosa ,  Penicillium italicum Wehmer,  and  Penicillium digitatum Sacc . Thus, the essential oil of  M. alternifolia  possesses antioxidant and antimicrobial activity and could be suitable for use as a natural preservative ingredient in food, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries.
