Quantitative phytochemical analysis of ethanolic extracts of carica papaya seeds

Abstract

The study aimed at conduct a quantitative phytochemical analysis of ethanolic extracts of Carica papaya, with a focus on comparing the phytochemical composition of the leaves and seeds. The research employed various analytical techniques to assess the presence and concentration of phytochemicals such as phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, and tannins in the two plant parts. Preliminary findings suggest that the leaves have a higher phytochemical composition compared to the seeds, which indicated their potential as a valuable source of bioactive compounds. The study provided valuable insights into the phytochemical profile of Carica papaya and has contributed to the understanding of its medicinal and nutritional properties.
