Main Article Content
Abstract
Carica papaya is a shrub plant with prominent leaves (20-60 cm) and is a member of caricaceae family. The present study was designed for the evaluation of preliminary phytochemical screening of papaya leaf and seed. Bioactive compounds of the leaves and seeds of papaya were extracted using petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and investigated for the presence of phytochemicals. All the extract revealed the presence of alkaloid, flavonoid, phenol and tannin in leaf. Whereas alkaloid, tannin were absent in the petroleum ether extract of seed.
